Introduction:

As an important driving force in the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, artificial intelligence technology is profoundly changing the world. In March 2020, UNESCO established an ad hoc expert group composed of 24 international experts to officially launch the preparation of the world's first Draft Recommendation on Ethics in Artificial Intelligence. 

To promote inter-regional consultation, UNESCO will organize  Asia-Pacific regional seminar on July 23-24, with 100 participants, including UNESCO's Assistant Director-General for Social and Human Sciences, the Director General for Public Diplomacy and Cultural Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea, and relevant experts from various countries, to discuss the Draft Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in depth. The workshop was held in the form of video conference. 

Zhu Shiqiang, president of Zhejiang Lab, is invited by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China, the Internet Information Office and the Chinese National Commission for UNESCO, and will participate as a Chinese expert to express his views and make specific suggestions on the draft of recommendation.
