Abstract: Now AI technology has become the new focus of international high-tech competition, major countries in the world regard the development of artificial intelligence as a major strategy to enhance national competitive ability and safeguard national security. With the breakthrough of AI technology, AI technology has mushroomed in the world in recent years, and it have attracted an influx of capital and human resources of different industries. Besides that, the unique nature of the AI technology itself may cause in irreversible harm to the society and humankind. There is an urgent need to make a profound rational understanding and evaluation of the rapid development of artificial technologies and to weigh incidental or potential impacts. It is essential to analyze the huge risk behind its development on the basis of exploring the current situation of AI technology. Exploring the legal path of risk prevention and control of AI technology is also necessary, which means to construct an organic regulatory system that takes precaution, incident control and ex-post supervision as the core. As people seize the opportunity of AI technology development, it will help prevent irreversible harmful consequences effectively and then promote the healthy development of AI technology.
