Tencent Responsible AI Principles

Artificial intelligence has become an integral part of our technological foundation, now widely deployed across product use cases. In our pursuit of user and social value, we leverage AI to refine personalised experiences and bolster individual productivity, while supporting the digital and intelligent upgrade of industries. Regarding risk identification and management, AI has enabled us to enhance the precision and efficiency of our privacy protection and data security initiatives, while sharpening the responsiveness and vigilance of our internal controls and supply chain management. Our Tech for Good mission serves as the foundation for the development and deployment of AI at Tencent, and our robust internal governance ensures our technical progress is anchored in AI safety and security.

Our AI safety and governance are grounded in the following principles:

1. We believe that AI should always serve humanity, in line with our corporate mission of Tech for Good.

2. We continuously refine our AI risk governance framework, implementing effective management across critical areas including privacy protection, data security, algorithmic fairness, and the prevention of technological misuse to bolster our AI safety capabilities.

3. We have established a risk identification and response mechanism covering R&D, deployment, and operational phases. By setting safety red lines and iteratively optimising protective measures, we can identify security hazards or emergencies rapidly and handle them effectively.

4. We communicate AI capability boundaries and limitations to users, providing clear explanations or identifiers to guide reasonable expectations.

5. We promote industry collaboration by contributing to technical standards and community development, partnering with stakeholders to drive the human-centric development and responsible deployment of AI.
