China is willing to work with other countries to promote development, safeguard security, share achievements in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), and jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind, Chinese President Xi Jinping’s Special Representative, Zhang Guoqing, has said.
Zhang is a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and a Vice Premier of the State Council. He made the remarks in his speech at the AI Action Summit, which was held from February 10 to 11 in Paris.
Zhang also said AI has become an important driving force for the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation.
China, he underlined, has always participated in global cooperation and governance on AI with a highly responsible attitude.
In October 2023, President Xi Jinping introduced the Global Initiative for AI Governance, which proposed China’s solution and contributed China’s wisdom for the AI development and governance, Zhang noted.
In facing the opportunities and challenges brought about by the development of AI, Zhang called on the international community to jointly advocate for the principle of developing AI for good, to deepen innovative cooperation, strengthen inclusiveness and benefits, and improve global governance.
