Professor Wang Xizhi gave a report titled Expert or Public? The Construction Path of Artificial Intelligence 'Trustworthiness'. Professor Wang pointed out that the trustworthiness of artificial intelligence is the core goal and implementation element of current domestic and international artificial intelligence governance. Based on the current situation where traditional rule of law is constrained by technological thinking, the construction of the trustworthiness of artificial intelligence needs to go beyond the expert governance path based on technology and shift towards a people-centered value standpoint, introducing a risk exchange mechanism on the basis of the traditional path, and promoting interaction between experts and the public.

Professor Yu Lingyun gave a report titled Legislative Issues on Autonomous Driving. Professor Yu pointed out that the authorization control of autonomous driving poses challenges to administrative law, civil law, and criminal law. It is necessary to promote the legitimacy dilemma of autonomous driving through the formulation of temporary local government regulations or local laws and the amendment of the Road Traffic Law.

Concepts such as presumed consent and assumed consent need to be distinguished, and the existing reasoning is not clear enough in this regard. Wang Qihui, a lecturer at the Law School of Hohai University, believes that further clarification is needed on whether the agency behavior mentioned in the article on special constitution can be applied to medical behavior. In addition, the proof and argument for reducing compensation liability for mental damages are still unclear. The issue of substitutability exists in the topic of prescription circulation, and the special analysis of prescription circulation can be strengthened. Professor and Dean of the Law School of Southwest Medical University, and Editor in Chief of Medicine and Law, Luo Gang, pointed out that the main body of the article on egg freezing still needs to be further clarified based on practical operations, and practical issues such as egg freezing for divorced women should be discussed, while also considering the objectification and dignity of women. The overall content of the article on neural rights is relatively rich, and it can be considered to appropriately split it and provide specific discussions on some of the issues.

The closing ceremony of the conference was presided over by Ji Yang, Associate Professor and Assistant Dean of the School of Law at Southeast University. Associate Professor Ji Yang expressed his gratitude to the experts and graduate students who participated in the sharing at the meeting, and summarized the discussion topics and progress of the five sub forums.
