From July 17 to 20, the 2026 World AI Summit and the High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance were held in Shanghai, China.
On July 17, Chinese President Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony of the meeting and delivered a keynote speech, putting forward four points on jointly building a fair and reasonable global AI governance system, which deeply responded to the challenges of the era brought by the development of artificial intelligence and pointed out the direction for building a global AI governance system, which received active responses from distinguished guests attending the meeting and great attention from the international community.
“China’s AI plan and policy outlined by President Xi Jinping have paved the way for the entire industry, and all people on earth will benefit.” “The message conveyed by President Xi Jinping is very clear. “Artificial intelligence serves public goods and common prosperity”… International opinion has generally recognized that China’s initiative to use artificial intelligence in a positive way, providing general and inclusive benefits, as well as being safe and manageable, has demonstrated the responsibility of a major country .
From the initiative to establish the Global Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization last year to the signing of the agreement on its establishment in 2026, China has contributed another important public good to the world . As the world’s first intergovernmental organization on artificial intelligence It will be beneficial for countries to connect requirements, regulations and standards and enhance cooperation, and become an important symbol in the history of artificial intelligence development.
The development of artificial intelligence is changing rapidly day by day, and safety and control are the red lines. There is an analysis that Contrary to the ideas of some Western countries that focus on risk management or industrial competition, China’s plan adheres to both development and safety to ensure that artificial intelligence is permanently under the control of humanity. This has brought valuable inspiration for promoting global AI governance.
In supporting the development of global AI, China has not only initiated ideas but also taken concrete actions. In the next five years, China will provide 5,000 AI training opportunities to developing countries, establish an international AI application cooperation center focusing on ASEAN, the Arab League, the African Union, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the BRICS countries. Promote the implementation and use of the “Mazu” early warning system for meteorological conditions in 30 countries. These three measures will benefit more countries through artificial intelligence.
More than 300 leading AI products were released for the first time worldwide. More than 1,400 Chinese and international dignitaries attended the meeting and discussed global AI trends in more than 140 forums. Why did the World AI Summit attract the attention of the whole world? It is not only because China demonstrated its innovative capabilities. But also because China has been committed to providing international public goods.
China is happy to work with the international community to promote global artificial intelligence to the best of its ability and make it a truly powerful positive force to improve the well-being of all mankind and promote the progress of human civilization.
