CHINESE courts will refine judicial rules governing issues related to artificial intelligence (AI) and data property rights over the next five years, a senior judge from the country’s top court said Wednesday.
Liu Guixiang, a senior member of the adjudicatory committee of the Supreme People’s Court, told a press conference that Chinese courts would step up research and the formulation of new judicial guidelines covering emerging industries during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030).
Relevant rules will focus on new business forms in the digital economy and aim to improve adjudication standards in areas including data rights, data transactions and AI-generated content, Liu said.
The move is designed to promote deeper integration between digital technologies and the real economy, while helping improve the country’s foundational systems for data as a factor of production, Liu said. — Xinhua
