Foreign Ministry: Artificial intelligence is not the patent of major powers, and should not slide into competition and confrontation.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning stated at a regular press conference on June 5th that artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly changing production and lifestyles, posing a new challenge that humanity needs to address collectively. AI is not the exclusive domain of major powers, nor should it slide into competition and confrontation. This July, China will host the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and the High-Level Meeting on Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence in Shanghai. China hopes to use this conference as an opportunity to engage in in-depth exchanges and dialogue with all parties, strengthen global governance of AI, and promote AI to serve the well-being of all humanity.
