President Xi Jinping advocates promoting the healthy and orderly development of artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence is of great significance for future development and should be used to benefit people in all countries and regions. We should take the well-being of all mankind as our concern and promote the healthy and orderly development of artificial intelligence in a beneficial, safe, and fair direction. "On November 1st, at the second phase of the 32nd APEC Leaders' Informal Meeting, President Xi Jinping emphasized.
People have noticed that from the bilateral meeting of the heads of state to the written speech to the summit of business leaders to attending the informal meeting of leaders, President Xi Jinping mentioned artificial intelligence many times during his trip to South Korea.
The meeting released outcome documents such as the "APEC Artificial Intelligence Initiative" and the "APEC Leaders' Qingzhou Declaration 2025", which stated: "Recognizing that artificial intelligence will reshape economic models and lifestyles, but may also bring new challenges" and "calling for the improvement of the safety, accessibility, credibility, and reliability of artificial intelligence technology".
Artificial intelligence is an important driving force for the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, which will have a profound impact on global economic and social development and human civilization progress. Deepening international cooperation in the development and governance of artificial intelligence is of great significance for promoting the healthy development of artificial intelligence, promoting world economic growth, and enhancing the well-being of people in all countries.
Since the 14th Five Year Plan, China has adhered to innovation driven development, seized the opportunities of technological revolution, and achieved a comprehensive and systematic leap in the comprehensive strength of artificial intelligence. Data shows that China's artificial intelligence patents account for 60% of the global total, and the user base of generative artificial intelligence exceeds 500 million people. At the same time, China has established a national artificial intelligence industry investment fund with a total scale of 60 billion yuan, formulated ethical service management measures for artificial intelligence technology, established the China BRICS Artificial Intelligence Development and Cooperation Center, and promoted the continuous improvement of the industrial ecology.
President Xi Jinping has profoundly pointed out that artificial intelligence can be an international public product for the benefit of mankind. It is necessary to promote all parties to strengthen the docking and coordination of development strategies, governance rules, and technical standards, and form a global governance framework and standards with broad consensus at an early date.
The "15th Five Year Plan" proposal approved by the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposes to comprehensively implement the "Artificial Intelligence+" action, lead the paradigm change of scientific research with artificial intelligence, strengthen the combination of artificial intelligence with industrial development, cultural construction, livelihood security, and social governance, seize the high ground of artificial intelligence industry application, empower thousands of industries in all aspects, and make clear arrangements for strengthening artificial intelligence governance.
In July this year, the Chinese government proposed the establishment of a world artificial intelligence cooperation organization, initially considering its headquarters in Shanghai. In September, at the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization" meeting, President Xi Jinping stated that China is willing to work with all parties to build a good artificial intelligence application cooperation center and share the dividends of artificial intelligence development.
At the APEC meeting, President Xi Jinping once again articulated far-reaching considerations: "China advocates the establishment of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization and hopes to actively provide the international community with public goods in artificial intelligence through cooperation in development strategies, governance rules and technical standards. China is willing to work with APEC members to jointly improve people's artificial intelligence literacy and bridge the digital and intelligence divide in the Asia-Pacific region."
At important occasions such as the APEC meeting, China has voiced its voice and proposed solutions to promote the development and governance of artificial intelligence, reflecting its vision and responsibility to lead the trend of technological revolution and industrial transformation, and actively promote global governance to adapt to technological changes.
The publication of the APEC Artificial Intelligence Initiative reflects the common expectation of all parties to promote the healthy development of artificial intelligence. With a long-term vision, clear and pragmatic measures, and joint efforts from all parties, artificial intelligence will benefit all mankind and have a promising future.
