China rejects threat narratives and defends AI "oriented toward the good"

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 10:15

China today rejected the threat narratives related to artificial intelligence, stating that their spread harms the governance process of this technology. The country defended that AI should be "oriented toward the good."

This position arises in a context where the United States is debating internally the need to slow down artificial intelligence development, something that China seems to indirectly criticize with its statement.

The Chinese government positions itself thus against the perspective that AI represents a threat, preferring to emphasize a collaborative and regulated approach to the governance of technology.

Why this matters

The article is relevant for readers in the region because it reflects the global debate around AI governance, a technology with growing impact on daily life. China's position of rejecting threat narratives contrasts with the American approach of caution, which may influence future regulations and technology policies at the international level.

Florida wants to create criminal penalties for AI companies when chatbots participate in crimes

Florida's Attorney General, James Uthmeier, announced proposed legislation to hold artificial intelligence companies criminally liable when their AI systems participate in or facilitate crimes. The measure would reach companies with control over the development, training, and deployment of AI systems, potentially resulting in steep fines, compensation to victims, court oversight, and in the most serious cases, suspension of operations in the state. The proposal comes amid an investigation into ChatGPT related to the shooting attack at Florida State University in 2025, which left two people dead and five injured. The state has also expressed concern about AI-generated scams and child sexual abuse material generated by artificial intelligence. The legislation has not yet been passed and is expected to be discussed during the regular legislative session in March.
