China's AI legislation has unique characteristics different from legislation in other fields, and thus, AI legislation in China must follow three basic principles:

Firstly, it must be highly adaptable to uncertainty. The disruptive and rapidly iterative nature of AI technology means that future technological developments and potential risks are highly uncertain. This conflicts with the relative stability and lag of traditional legislation. Therefore, China's AI legislation needs to accommodate and adapt to this high level of uncertainty in AI development.

Secondly, it must clearly respond to local needs. Given the unique international status of AI technology and industry, China's AI legislation must express localized demands that arise from specific international environmental conditions, distinguishing it significantly from technology-leading countries like the United States and governance-focused Europe.

Thirdly, it must improve the AI legal system to effectively respond to international competition.
