Abstract:Under the guidance of the policy tools approach,we analyzed the European Union's strategic documents,legislative process and organizational design of AI governance.We have constructed a cross-analytical framework of“foundation-data-application”layer and“supply-regulation-coordination-defense”type,to provide an overview of the EU's policy tools in the field of AI.At the level of policy features,it is found that the EU increased supply of AI production factors,exported governance standards in the form of legislation,promoted the formation of consensus at the global level,and emphasized the protection of its digital sovereignty and technological security.In terms of the effects,the use of EU policy tools has not only accelerated the pace of global AI governance,but has also introduced elements of decentralization and competition within the AI governance system.China should clearly perceive the strategic direction of the EU and the trends of technology governance.By doing so,China can flexibly employ policy tools to develop AI and participate more effectively in global governance.
