Chinese President\u00a0Xi Jinping\u00a0spoke at\u00a0the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence\u00a0Conference (WAIC) on Friday, highlighting the need for international cooperation in AI development.<\/p>\n
Xi voiced China\u2019s readiness to pursue greater openness and practical action in AI development. He stressed the importance of international cooperation, stating that AI development should not be a \u201csolo performance\u201d by a single country, but a \u201csymphony of global collaboration,\u201d the South China Morning Post reported.<\/p>\n
Xi mentioned the newly established World AI Cooperation Organization, which comprises 29 countries, including Russia, Pakistan, and Indonesia. He also declared China\u2019s commitment to support AI development in developing countries over the next five years, with plans to offer 5,000 AI research projects, training, seminar programs, and \u201ccooperation centers\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Chinese President emphasized the need for responsible AI development, guided by \u201chuman wisdom\u201d and international consensus, as AI continues to evolve rapidly.<\/p>\n
Moonshot Challenges American AI<\/p>\n
\u00a0Xi\u2019s participation in the WAIC, a key annual AI event in China, underscored the importance of AI in China\u2019s tech and geopolitical strategy. With stringent U.S.\u00a0export controls on advanced semiconductors\u00a0and limited access to top-tier AI models overseas, Beijing is accelerating its drive for tech autonomy.<\/p>\n
This also comes on the heels of Chinese start-up Moonshot AI launching Kimi K3, the world\u2019s largest open-source AI model, late Thursday. <\/p>\n
