- Governments should give priority to ethics, establish and improve rules, norms and accountability mechanisms for AI ethics, delineate the responsibilities and power of AI-related entities.
- Governments should require researchers to strictly abide by data security regulations, ethics and relevant laws and standards and improve the completeness, timeliness, consistency, normalization and accuracy of data.
