(MENAFN) China unveiled the latest version of its Artificial Intelligence (AI) Safety Governance Framework on Monday, aiming to enhance the management of AI risks, safeguards, and regulations to ensure the sector’s stable growth, media reported, citing the China Cyberspace Administration.

Building on the initial framework introduced in September 2024, this updated version—referred to as 2.0—addresses the rapid pace of AI development and evolving risks. Key updates include refined risk categories, more detailed grading strategies, and strengthened governance mechanisms.

Aligning with global AI trends, the revised framework advocates for greater international collaboration, ethical guidelines, and fair access to AI benefits. It clarifies risk classifications, introduces stronger technological safeguards, and tackles secondary risks emerging from AI applications.

In a significant move, four new governance measures have been implemented to foster cooperation across developers, users, regulators, and civil society. The framework also sets forth principles for assessing AI risks and promoting the development of trustworthy AI systems.
