Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated that China actively embraces intelligent transformation, promotes the inclusive development of artificial intelligence, supports developing countries in building their capabilities and advocates for open-source AI technology to enable all nations to share the benefits of intelligence.
Lu Chuanying, Executive Deputy Director of the Cyberspace International Governance Research Base at Tongji University, noted that beyond industrial and technological advancements, China plays an active role in global AI governance, making it a significant force in this field. China was among the first to propose various AI-related initiatives, reflecting its responsibility as a major power and its strong capabilities.
Education remains a cornerstone of China's AI cooperation. Institutions like Tsinghua University's Institute for AI Industry Research are partnering with universities in Africa and Southeast Asia to offer AI training programs and joint research projects.
These initiatives equip local professionals with the skills needed to drive digital transformation in their own countries.
By fostering international AI collaboration, China is contributing to a more inclusive and sustainable future. As AI reshapes industries worldwide, such partnerships ensure that developing nations are not left behind.
