Chinese government advisors are calling for "red lines" to be drawn for AI applications to prevent job losses and data security risks.

According to a report by the TechFlow China Morning Post on March 26th, at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference, several Chinese government advisors called on the government to establish clear "red lines" for the development and application of artificial intelligence. Jiang Xiaojuan, Director of the National Data Expert Advisory Committee and former Deputy Secretary-General of the State Council, stated that a cautious approach must be taken towards AI applications that aim solely to reduce labor costs without improving service quality or promoting environmental sustainability. AI deployment cannot be entirely left to market forces; the government must intervene when technology causes extreme harm to people. Xue Lan, Dean of the Schwarzman Scholars Program at Tsinghua University and Director of the Institute for International Governance of Artificial Intelligence, also suggested at the forum that clear boundaries be drawn for AI applications.
