The societal and ethical implications of artificial intelligence (AI) have sparked discussions among academics, policymakers and the public around the world. What has gone unnoticed so far are the likewise vibrant discussions in China. We analyzed a large sample of discussions about AI ethics on two Chinese social media platforms. Findings suggest that participants were diverse, and included scholars, IT industry actors, journalists, and members of the general public. They addressed a broad range of concerns associated with the application of AI in various fields. Some even gave recommendations on how to tackle these issues. We argue that these discussions are a valuable source for understanding the future trajectory of AI development in China as well as implications for global dialogue on AI governance.
人工智能（AI）的社会和伦理影响引发了全球学术界、政策制定者和公众的讨论。迄今为止未被注意到的是，中国也有同样热烈的讨论。我们分析了两个中国社交媒体平台上关于人工智能伦理的大量讨论样本。研究结果表明，参与者多种多样，包括学者、信息技术行业从业者、记者和普通公众。他们讨论了与人工智能在各个领域应用相关的广泛问题。有些人甚至就如何解决这些问题提出了建议。我们认为，这些讨论是了解中国人工智能发展未来轨迹以及对全球人工智能治理对话影响的宝贵资源。
