Recently, five authorities, including the Standardization Administration of China ("SAC"), have jointly formulated and issued the Guide to the Building of the Framework of National New Generation Artificial Intelligence Standards (the "Guide").
The Guide sets the goals of "initially establishing a framework of artificial intelligence standards, and focusing on the development of key and urgently needed standards such as standards for the data, algorithms, systems, and services, and firstly applying these standards in such key industries and fields as the manufacturing, transportation and finance, by 2023", among others. The Guide stipulates that a framework of artificial intelligence standards is mainly composed of eight parts, namely, fundamental generality, supporting technology and products, basic software and hardware platforms, key general technologies, technologies in key fields, products and services, industry applications, and safety/ethics, and respectively clarifies specific standards for the building content corresponding to each part. In particular, the Guide identifies the key industry application fields of artificial intelligence standardization, including intelligent manufacturing, intelligent transportation, and intelligent finance, among others. In the field of intelligent finance, it is necessary to regulate application technologies such as online payment, financing and credit, investment consulting, and risk management to assist in improving the business capabilities of financial assets, such as credit investigation, product pricing, and investment research.
