How the World AI Conference Shaped the Future of Trustworthy AI

From September 1-3, 2022, the World AI Conference was held in Shanghai, and its Trustworthy AI Forum took place on September 1 at the Shanghai West Bank Art Museum. The forum, themed “Trustworthy AI, Co‑governance”, brought together more than 20 leading AI experts, government officials, and industry representatives to discuss policies, standards, technologies, and application scenarios for building a safe, reliable, controllable, and fair intelligent future.

The forum was guided by the conference organizing committee, co‑hosted by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) and JD Exploration Research Institute, and supported by IJCAI, China Communications Standardization Association TC602, Shanghai AI Industry Association, as well as partners such as Ant Group, OPPO, NuoWei Technology, and others.

Shanghai municipal government deputy secretary‑general Shang Yuying emphasized that as AI technology rapidly evolves, issues such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and security risks have attracted global attention, and that developing trustworthy AI has become a worldwide consensus.

CAICT chief engineer Wei Ran announced the launch of a “Trustworthy AI” evaluation system covering product capability, application maturity, and risk control, and highlighted the institute’s role in assessing AI risks.

The “Trustworthy AI Joint Laboratory” jointly created by CAICT’s East China branch and JD Exploration Research Institute was unveiled, with CAICT officials and JD’s director Tao Dacheng presiding over the ceremony.

A 2022 Trustworthy AI Industry Ecosystem Development Report, compiled by CAICT, JD Exploration, and multiple research institutions and enterprises, was released, offering a detailed analysis of the industry’s development trends, ecosystem map, and actionable recommendations.

To promote industrial‑grade trustworthy AI, Ant Group, together with Tsinghua University and CAICT’s Cloud Computing and Big Data Institute, launched the Ant‑Jian AI Security Detection Platform, a large‑scale AI safety testing solution open to the industry.

The forum concluded with keynote speeches from leading AI figures and a round‑table discussion on co‑building a trustworthy AI ecosystem, underscoring the growing global consensus on trustworthy AI and the need for collaborative action.
