China is expanding its influence over the future of artificial intelligence, rivaling the United States. During the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, President Xi Jinping promoted international cooperation, wider access to AI tools, and stricter global rules for managing the technology.
Global AI Leadership
Xi argued that AI should not be controlled by a small group of countries or companies. China highlighted open-source development, training programs for developing nations, and plans to provide AI-powered technology to countries with fewer resources.
The event reflected a broader rivalry between China and the US over AI models, technical standards, and global leadership. Chinese companies are releasing increasingly advanced systems while Beijing works to strengthen partnerships with other countries.
