China and France are fully committed to promoting safe, reliable, and trustworthy artificial intelligence systems, adhering to the principle of "AI for good", and exploring the potential of artificial intelligence and reducing its risks through comprehensive and inclusive dialogue. Both sides will also rely on the work carried out at the United Nations level to strengthen international cooperation in artificial intelligence governance and interoperability between various artificial intelligence governance frameworks and initiatives, such as relying on the work carried out within the United Nations Secretary General's High level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence or on the basis of the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence.

3.

In order to fully utilize the opportunities brought by artificial intelligence, China and France are committed to deepening discussions on the international governance model of artificial intelligence. This governance should take into account the flexibility required for the rapid development of technology, while providing necessary protection for the rights of personal data, artificial intelligence users, and users whose works are used by artificial intelligence.

2. Continued attention and vigilance, as well as accountability, for the potential effects and consequences of, artificial intelligence systems should be ensured, in particular by:

a. promoting accountability of all relevant stakeholders to individuals, supervisory authorities and other third parties as appropriate, including through the realization of audit, continuous monitoring and impact assessment of artificial intelligence systems, and periodic review of oversight mechanisms; b. fostering collective and joint responsibility, involving the whole chain of actors and stakeholders, for example with the development of collaborative standards and the sharing of best practices, c. investing in awareness raising, education, research and training in order to ensure a good level of information on and understanding of artificial intelligence and its potential effects in society, and d. establishing demonstrable governance processes for all relevant actors, such as relying on trusted third parties or the setting up of independent ethics committees,

(Conclusion)

Taking into consideration the principles above, the 40th International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners calls for common governance principles on artificial intelligence to be established, fostering concerted international efforts in this field, in order to ensure that its development and use take place in accordance with ethics and human values, and respect human dignity. These common governance principles must be able to tackle the challenges raised by the rapid evolutions of artificial intelligence technologies, on the basis of a multi stakeholder approach in order to address all cross sectoral issues at stake. They must take place at an international level since the development of artificial intelligence is a trans border phenomenon and may affect all humanity. The Conference should be involved in this international effort, working with and supporting general and sectoral authorities in other fields such as competition, market and consumer regulation.
