中国はＡＩ開発で「自立と自己強化」に取り組む＝習近平主席
[香港 ２６日 ロイター] - 中国の習近平国家主席は２５日に開かれた中央政治局会議の集団学習会で、中国は人工知能（ＡＩ）を自前で開発するために「自立と自己強化」に取り組むと表明した。国営通信の新華社が２６日報じた。 習氏は、中国が「新たな全国一体の態勢」を活用してＡＩ開発を推進すべきと主張。「われわれはギャップの存在を認識し、技術革新や産業発展、ＡＩを応用した包括的な推進に一層務めなければならない」と訴え、政府調達や知的財産権、研究開発、人材育成といった分野で政策支援を行う考えを示した。 また「基礎研究を引き続き強化し、高性能半導体や基礎的なソフトウエアといった中核技術の習熟に注力し、独立しつつ管理可能で、かつコラボレーション可能な、ＡＩの基盤となるソフトウエアやハードウエアを構築しなければならない」と指摘。ＡＩの安全性、信頼性、制御可能性を確保するために「リスクの警告や緊急対応システム」を構築し、ＡＩに関する規制と法律の整備を加速すべきだとも述べた。 中国発のディープシークが１月に低コストのＡＩを発表し、専門家の間にはＡＩ開発で米中の差は小さくなっているとの見方も出ている。 私たちの行動規範： James Pomfret トムソン・ロイター James Pomfret is a Special Correspondent for Reuters covering politics and policy in Asia, with a specialization on China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

China's Xi calls for self sufficiency in AI development amid U.S. rivalry
By James Pomfret and Summer Zhen HONG KONG (Reuters) -China's President Xi Jinping pledged "self-reliance and self-strengthening" to develop AI in China, state media reported on Saturday, as the country vies with the U.S. for supremacy in artificial intelligence, a key strategic area. Speaking at a Politburo meeting study session on Friday, Xi said China should leverage its "new whole national system" to push forward with the development of AI. "We must recognise the gaps and redouble our efforts to comprehensively advance technological innovation, industrial development, and AI-empowered applications," said Xi, according to the official Xinhua news agency. Xi noted policy support would be provided in areas such as government procurement, intellectual property rights, research and cultivating talent. Some experts say China has narrowed the AI development gap with the United States over the past year. The Chinese AI startup DeepSeek drew global attention when it launched an AI reasoning model in January that it said was trained with less advanced chips and was cheaper to develop than its Western rivals. China has also made inroads in infrastructure software engineering. The DeepSeek announcement challenged the assumption that U.S. sanctions were holding back China's AI sector amid a fierce geopolitical tech rivalry, and that China lagged the U.S. after the breakthrough launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT in late 2022. "We must continue to strengthen basic research, concentrate our efforts on mastering core technologies such as high-end chips and basic software, and build an independent, controllable, and collaborative artificial intelligence basic software and hardware system," Xi said. He added that AI regulations and laws should be speeded up to build a "risk warning and emergency response system, to ensure that artificial intelligence is safe, reliable, and controllable." Xi said last year that AI shouldn't be a "game of rich countries and the wealthy," while calling for more international governance and cooperation on AI. Sign in to access your portfolio
