China wants global AI cooperation
At the World AI Conference in Shanghai, China’s Premier Li Qiang called for a global organisation to manage AI development and safety.
He warned that things are moving too fast, and without proper coordination, AI could become an “exclusive game” dominated by a few powerful players.
The timing wasn’t random: Li’s comments came just days after the US announced plans to ease AI regulations, aiming to stay ahead in the global race.
While the US pushes for speed, China is pitching open-source development and says it’s ready to share its progress, especially with developing countries.
Here’s what you should know:

Meanwhile, concerns about AI’s risks, like job disruption, misinformation, and reduced transparency, continue to grow.
A recent study even showed that AI-generated summaries could cut clicks to news sites by 80%.
Open-source? More like open drama.
