Artificial intelligence is an important driving force for leading a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. The 2023 Central Economic Work Conference proposed to vigorously promote new industrialization, develop the digital economy, and accelerate the development of artificial intelligence. The 14th Five Year Plan and the 2035 Vision Outline emphasize strengthening the research and development of key network security technologies, accelerating innovation in artificial intelligence security technologies, and enhancing the comprehensive competitiveness of the network security industry. This issue invites experts to discuss relevant issues. Strengthening the Security Foundation for the Development of Artificial Intelligence and Accelerating the Development of Artificial Intelligence: How to Cope with Potential Risks and Grasp Strategic Initiatives? Shan Zhiguang (Director of the Information Technology and Industrial Development Department of the National Information Center and Secretary General of the National Big Data Development Expert Advisory Committee): The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes to promote the modernization of the national security system and capabilities, and resolutely maintain national security and social stability. Artificial intelligence is a strategic technology that leads a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, and also has obvious "double-edged sword" characteristics. On the one hand, empowering national security related fields such as network attack and defense, open source intelligence, etc. with artificial intelligence is a powerful lever to build a strong national security barrier; On the other hand, due to its fragility, instability, and inexplicability, artificial intelligence is prone to triggering security risks at the national, social, enterprise, and individual levels in the process of deep integration with the economy and society. In the global wave of artificial intelligence, how to cope with the risks of artificial intelligence, grasp the initiative of development strategy, and effectively maintain and safeguard national security is an important issue in national governance. In recent years, the country has attached great importance to the development of artificial intelligence security and gradually improved relevant policies and regulations. The State Council has issued the "Development Plan for the New Generation of Artificial Intelligence", proposing guiding principles, strategic goals, key tasks, and guarantee measures for the development of the new generation of artificial intelligence in China by 2030, deploying and building the first mover advantages of artificial intelligence development, and accelerating the construction of an innovative country and a world science and technology powerhouse. Regarding algorithm governance, the Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Comprehensive Governance of Internet Information Service Algorithms and the Regulations on the Recommendation and Management of Internet Information Service Algorithms have been issued. In response to the rapid breakthrough of artificial intelligence synthesis technology, the "Regulations on the Management of Deep Synthesis of Internet Information Services" and the "Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services" have been introduced. In the fiercely competitive global digital economy, it is crucial to scientifically grasp the scale of risk prevention. On July 24, 2023, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee emphasized "promoting the safe development of artificial intelligence", reflecting the concept of adhering to coordinated development and security, and emphasizing both development and security. It released a positive signal of using artificial intelligence technology to stimulate new driving forces for the integration of data and reality, and to create new engines for high-quality development. To promote the rapid development of the artificial intelligence industry, ensuring data security should be given a prominent position. Firstly, data is a key production factor in the digital economy era, and ensuring data security is an important foundation for promoting the secure development of artificial intelligence. In 2022, the scale of China's digital economy exceeded 50 trillion yuan, ranking second in the world in terms of total volume, accounting for 41.5% of GDP, and showing an explosive growth trend in data volume. As the scale of data elements continues to expand, digital technologies represented by artificial intelligence will realize knowledge
