China’s National AI Standardization General Group released the Research Report on Ethical Governance of Embodied Intelligence on October 13. Focusing on the ethical governance of embodied intelligence, the report outlines a comprehensive set of governance measures spanning life-cycle management, technical safeguards and standards development.
The report treats the ethics of embodied intelligence as part of broader AI ethics. It identifies six categories of ethical risks: harm to human autonomy, social relationships and development rights; physical injury and threats to public safety; privacy violations and misuse of personal information; bias, discrimination and exclusion from services; identity misidentification and overestimation of system capabilities; and unclear accountability and difficulties in reconstructing incidents. It establishes five risk levels, R1 through R5, based on the severity of potential harm. It also sets out six fundamental principles for ethical governance: a human-centered approach, safety and controllability, privacy protection, fairness and inclusiveness, transparency and explainability, and accountability and traceability.
