Woofun AI reports that President Xi Jinping attended the opening of the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and the High-Level Meeting on Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence. In his keynote address, he stated that AI development must be a global symphony of cooperation rather than a solo performance by any single nation, advocating for openness, sharing, and industry-wide adoption. He emphasized that AI must remain under human control, calling for legal regulations, technical monitoring, and emergency response systems to prevent misuse.

Additionally, Xi opposed expanding national security concepts at the expense of other nations and pledged to assist developing countries in building AI capabilities to avoid new global inequalities.
