Xi Jinping calls for inclusive AI development to prevent 'new historical injustices' for Global South

China is actively promoting its AI governance and technology models globally, particularly to developing nations and Southeast Asian partners, directly challenging US influence. This push is underscored by President Xi Jinping's personal involvement at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) and the establishment of the World AI Cooperation Organization (WAICO) in Shanghai. Concurrently, the US is tightening semiconductor export controls, accelerating China's domestic AI chip development and further bifurcating global AI standards.
