Chinese Premier Li Qiang unveiled an ambitious proposal for international collaboration on artificial intelligence during his keynote address at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai on July 26. The three-day event brings together tech leaders, policymakers, and researchers from over 40 countries and regions.
Li called for establishing a global AI cooperation organization headquartered in Shanghai, emphasizing the need for coordinated governance frameworks to address ethical challenges and security risks. 'No single country can tackle AI's cross-border impacts alone,' he stated, highlighting China's commitment to open dialogue and knowledge-sharing.
The proposal comes as AI adoption accelerates across Asia's manufacturing, healthcare, and financial sectors. Analysts suggest the initiative could create new standards for data security and algorithmic transparency affecting $15.7 trillion in projected global AI market value by 2030.
Conference attendees include representatives from the World Economic Forum, UNESCO, and major tech firms developing applications from smart cities to quantum computing. Parallel sessions focus on workforce adaptation strategies crucial for investors monitoring Asia's digital transformation.
