Why it matters

New guidelines released by the central government said Beijing would create a common yardstick for AI, allowing models, computing power and data quality to be measured and compared under a unified national standard.

Common ground

“We will promote the establishment of reliable, safe and trustworthy measurement standards for artificial intelligence, making AI performance measurable, comparable and traceable,” the SAMR said.

Perspective signals
