China calls for global AI cooperation days after Trump administration unveils low-regulation strategy

Chinese Premier Li Qiang has proposed establishing an organization to promote global cooperation on artificial intelligence (AI). This comes just days after the Trump administration unveiled a strategy to deregulate the AI industry in the United States. In his speech at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai, Li emphasized the need to balance AI development with security risks. He urged for "further consensus from the entire society" on AI governance, which he described as currently being fragmented. Li highlighted AI as a new engine for growth, but stressed the importance of a globally recognized framework to coordinate the development and security of this fast-evolving technology across countries. His proposal underscores China's push for a greater role in shaping the future of AI amidst the US government's plans to reduce regulation in the sector.
