Chinese President Xi Jinping urges global cooperation on artificial intelligence as Shanghai launches a new international initiative involving 29 nations. Multiple reports say Xi made the call in connection with the establishment of the new “world body” in Shanghai, framing it as a platform for countries to work together on AI-related matters.
According to the coverage, the new effort is launched by participating countries and is positioned as an international mechanism to promote dialogue and coordination around AI development and use. The reporting emphasizes Xi’s message that AI should be addressed through collective, cross-border collaboration rather than isolated national approaches.
While the articles focus primarily on Xi’s remarks and the launch of the Shanghai-based body, they describe the initiative in broad terms, without detailing specific regulatory changes, enforcement powers, or technical frameworks. Overall, the consensus across sources is that the event in Shanghai brings together 29 nations and includes Xi’s call for cooperation to shape AI’s future at a global level.
