Beijing will create a common yardstick for AI, allowing models, computing power and data quality to be measured and compared.
China will introduce a national evaluation framework to standardize AI assessment metrics.
KEY POINTS
Beijing's new guidelines mandate unified national standards for AI models, computing power, and data quality.
The SAMR aims to make AI performance measurable, comparable, and traceable through official standards.
The initiative will address the gap between AI research innovation and practical industrial deployment.
China has pledged to improve the accuracy, reliability and transparency of AI through a new national evaluation framework, as policymakers move to establish common standards for assessing the fast-evolving technology.
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.
“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.
The plan would also seek to bridge the “last mile” between laboratory innovation and industrial applications while addressing challenges such as measurement inaccuracies and data scarcity.
