Recently, at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Digital Week, which took place in Chengdu, China, representatives from 21 APEC member economies—including both China and the United States—came together to unveil the 'Chengdu Declaration' focused on artificial intelligence. The declaration underscores a collective commitment to fostering the growth and utilization of open-source AI, all while upholding stringent standards for safety, data privacy, and intellectual property protection. It explicitly highlights the necessity for 'robust safety assurances' to be integrated at every stage of development and deployment for the models and projects receiving support.
