Xi Jinping addressed the World Internet Conference Summit, saying there is a need to “deepen” exchanges and cooperation on an international level on AI challenges and cyberspace development.
Chinese President Xi Jinping addressed an audience on Nov. 8 at the World Internet Conference Summit in Wuzhen, China, calling for international cooperation on the risks posed by artificial intelligence (AI).
Xi’s speech, pre-recorded and broadcast at the conference, stressed the need for “deepened” exchanges and cooperation to “jointly advance the building of a community with a shared future in cyberspace to a new stage.”
“As the internet becomes a new driving force of development, a new frontier of ensuring security, and a new platform for mutual learning between civilizations,” he said, continuing, “The building of a community with a shared future in cyberspace is a natural choice in answering the call of the times and a common aspiration of the international community.”
The Chinese head of state stressed that the “fruits of internet development” should benefit more countries and greater numbers of people.
While one of the main points of the speech was stressing the importance of international cooperation, he also said that:
“Cyber sovereignty as well as each country’s internet development and governance mode should be respected.”
In respect to AI, Xi said China will promote the “safe development of AI” and plans to implement its Global AI Governance Initiative. This initiative was proposed by the government a month prior focusing on an open and fair AI development environment.
“We should uphold the principle of common security and avoid bloc confrontation and arms race in cyberspace.”

His remarks come a week after the United Kingdom’s inaugural AI Safety Summit, at which China was an attendee.
At the conference, a spokesperson from the Chinese government similarly stressed the importance of international cooperation, saying it calls for “global cooperation to share AI knowledge and make AI technologies available to the public on open-source terms.”
China has been at the forefront of the global race to develop and deploy high-level AI systems. The country has been facing direct competition with the United States, which is one of the world’s leaders in chip manufacturing and major companies deploying AI models.
