China calls for shared AI future, offering tech to developing countries • FRANCE 24 English

A four-wheelleed robotic dog that can climb up and down stairs, walk upright, and do back flips. This was just one of China’s many innovations on display at the World AI conference in Shanghai. Other robots served cans of soft drink and ice creams, danced with attendees, and looked strikingly real. But even as China showcased its tech prowess, it also claimed it was willing to share and called for more global cooperation and regulation when it comes to artificial intelligence. Currently, overall global AI governance is still fragmented, especially because countries have great differences, particularly in areas such as regulatory concepts and institutional rules. At the launch of the 3-day event with industry heavyweights, the country’s premier proposed establishing a World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization on behalf of the Chinese government. On the surface, it was an overt contrast to the US president’s strategy announced earlier in the week that would aggressively loosen domestic regulations. America is the country that started the AI race. And as president of the United States, I’m here today to declare that America is going to win it. We’re going to work hard. We’re going to win it. As the tech race heats up between the world’s two largest economies, and rapid AI advancements are being made, fears continue to mount over the technologies risks. Many worry how to curtail misinformation and its impact on employment and the environment if the industry goes unchecked. And for Washington, China is of great concern. The US continues to restrict exports of advanced technologies over fears they could enhance China’s military capabilities.

China is hosting the World AI conference in Shanghai this weekend, an annual event aimed at showcasing Beijing’s leadership in the evolution of technology. At the opening event Saturday, the country’s premier said China would be setting up a new organisation for cooperation on AI governance – again warning the risks of the technology must be considered as much as its benefits.

  3. China does not need the US in AI technology. It's US that needs China! US is recruiting so many China AI engineers. Top AI engineers in the US are mostly Chinese. US cannot do without Chinese talents. As they say, it is Chinese vs Chinese! 😘😍🥰

  6. 90% of phones brands in my country Kenya are from China , the phones now have beidou GPS , and soon Chinese AI …I am just reporting the reality on the ground

  9. We in the West need to stop pretending that China is somehow the bad guy… especially after that humiliating trade deal between the EU and Trump, holy cr4p that was some servile ritual…

  11. """Wow so many anti-China bots!!!!! CCP is glorious, China lead in joint design of environment and sustainability. As they say it is China vs China. I am a German Nigerian super grateful to China! I am blonde and I know China best"

    P.S. bots, no one believes this.

  15. China is a country built on commerce, and it’s called Silk Road back in the ancient times. America is a country built on selling war weapons.

  22. Beijing as part of a developing country offers ip theft, open source tech to “developing countries” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  28. Well it's a good thing they move well in sand , when they use up all our precious water and it's gone that's all they'll be around dry beds of sand .
