Abstract：The intense competition in science and technology not only creates an urgent need for ethical governance of artificial intelligence but also poses substantial obstacles in practice.Currently,ethical governance of AI remains predominantly principle-oriented.However,against the backdrop of increasingly fierce cutting-edge technological competition,the limitations of this principle-based approach are becoming increasingly apparent.To overcome the ethical governance dilemma of AI triggered by technological competition,it is imperative to elevate the ethical stance of AI and drive a paradigm shift in ethical governance of AI.This paper advocates that ethical governance of AI should be guided by universal human values,steering technological competition toward a positive force that ensures fairness and fosters development;set ethical evolution as the goal,while resolutely resisting ethical avoidance and adjusting governance strategies in a context-specific manner;and take co-construction and sharing as the core,scientifically and sensitively balancing the interests of nations with those of humanity as a whole.
