China's State Administration for Market Regulation and the National Development and Reform Commission have jointly released the "Guidelines for AI Measurement System and Capability Building (2026 Edition)." According to Foresight News, the guidelines aim to systematically develop AI measurement capabilities.
The guidelines focus on six key areas: foundational support, general technology, core technology, measurement technical standards, measurement service industry, and intelligent empowerment measurement. They aim to bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and industry application, addressing the "last mile" challenge.
The guidelines target issues such as the "uncertainty" problem in AI, aiming to make artificial intelligence more trustworthy. They address challenges like algorithmic "black boxes" and poor decision interpretability by deploying key technological advancements in monitoring and representing AI systems' internal states. The goal is to establish reliable, safe, and trustworthy AI measurement standards, ensuring AI technology performance is "measurable, comparable, and traceable."
