Abstract
The technological adoption and widespread use of generative AI, as represented by ChatGPT, have altered the conventional mode of interaction between humans and AI and profoundly changed the way our society operates. In response to the multifarious risks associated with generative AI, spanning ethical considerations, intellectual property protection, privacy and data protection, market monopoly, cybercrime, and data security concerns, discussions on the status of AI subjects and legal regulation have surfaced both on a global and domestic scale. It is argued in the present study that generative AI governance should uphold the principle of reconciling safety and development, craft an AI code of ethics in line with the umbrella of the human-centered principle, and promote a comprehensive legal framework of AI based on general AI legislation, supplemented by specialized management approaches for generative AI, and underpinned by established legal norms.
