China has proposed the establishment of a global AI cooperation organization, advocating for international collaboration in the governance of artificial intelligence. Premier Li Qiang, speaking at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai, cautioned against the potential for AI to become dominated by a few powerful nations and corporations, leading to 'technological monopolies.' While not explicitly naming the United States, the call comes amidst US restrictions on AI chip exports to China. Chinese companies, like Huawei, are actively developing their own AI technologies to mitigate the impact of these restrictions and foster domestic innovation. The proposed organization aims to ensure AI development benefits all nations.
