Artificial intelligence, especially generative AI, is gradually becoming a new engine for economic development, leading the trend of global technological innovation while reshaping various industries.

China has already published various policies, regulations and standards relating to AI. Most recently, in early July, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission (CAC), National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), and Standardization Administration of China (SAC) jointly issued the National Comprehensive Standardization System for Artificial Intelligence Industry (2024 Edition). MIIT also announced the establishment plan of the AI Standardization Technical Committee, the secretariat of which will be located at the China Academy of Information and Communication Technology, to expedite the formulation of AI standards in support of industry development.

A year ago, on July 13, 2023, a number of Chinese departments jointly issued China's first regulatory document on generative AI, the Interim Measures for the Administration of Generative AI Services. On the upcoming first anniversary of the release of the Interim Measures, the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is honoured to invite well-known experts, lawyers, consulting institutions and representatives from industries to discuss the current situation, challenges and future trends of the AI industry in depth and conduct a comprehensive analysis of AI development in light of recent developments. We look forward to your participation and work together to draw a more exciting blueprint for the future of the AI industry.

人工智能，特别是生成式人工智能，正逐渐成为推动经济发展的新引擎，在引领全球技术革新潮流的同时，也重塑着各行各业。

截至目前，中国已发布一系列人工智能相关政策、法规和标准。在此基础上，2024年七月初，工业和信息化部、中央网络安全和信息化委员会办公室、国家发展和改革委员会、国家标准化管理委员会共同发布了《国家人工智能产业综合标准化体系建设指南（2024版）》。同期，工信部公布了人工智能标准化技术委员会筹建方案，秘书处挂靠单位为中国信息通信研究院，以通过标准制定推动人工智能产业发展。

一年前，2023年7月13日，国家网信办、国家发改委、教育部、科技部、工信部、公安部以及广电总局联合发布了中国首份生成式人工智能监管文件——《生成式人工智能服务管理暂行办法》。值此《暂行办法》即将发布一周年之际，中国欧盟商会有幸邀请业界知名专家、律师、咨询机构和中外产业界代表，深入探讨人工智能产业的现状、挑战与未来趋势，结合近期发展，就人工智能产业进行全景分析。期待您的参与，共同为人工智能产业的未来描绘更加精彩的蓝图。
