중국, AI 협력을 위한 글로벌 조직 설립 제안 - VOI.id

JAKARTA The Chinese government proposes the establishment of a new organization to encourage global cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), in an effort to strengthen its position as an alternative to the dominance of the United States in this technology sector. This statement was delivered directly by Chinese Prime Minister, Li Qiang, at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) held in Shanghai. According to Li, the current development of global AI is still fragmented and a lack of coordination, especially regarding differences in regulatory concepts and institutional frameworks between countries. "We must strengthen coordination to establish a global AI governance framework that has a wide consensus as quickly as possible," he said. Although he did not explicitly refer to the United States, Li warned that AI risks becoming an "exclusive game" belonging to a handful of countries and large companies. He stressed that all countries and companies should have equal rights to take advantage of this technology. "China is willing to share AI development experiences and results with other countries, especially the South Global countries," said Li. The term "Global South" refers to developing or low-income countries, mostly in the southern hemisphere. As part of this initiative, the Chinese government has also released an action plan or a global AI governance action plan that calls for cross-border collaboration between governments, international organizations, technology companies, and research institutions. One of the ideas being considered is to make Shanghai the headquarters of this organization. Global AI Competition Increases The three-day conference was held amid rising tensions between China and the United States in technological competition. AI is now one of the main terrains for the global influence struggle between the world's two largest economies. Washington has imposed high-tech export restrictions on China, including the most advanced AI chips from companies such as Nvidia and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The main reason is the concern that the technology could be used to strengthen China's military capabilities. However, Beijing continues to make significant progress in the AI sector, which is now a serious concern for American officials. 관련 항목: This year's WAIC Conference was attended by more than 800 companies from within and outside the country. The participants showcased more than 3,000 high-tech products, 40 large language models, 50 AI-powered devices, and 60 smart robots. Big tech companies such as Huawei and Alibaba appear to dominate the exhibition, while foreign companies such as Tesla, Alphabet (Google's address), and Amazon also participate. One of the main attractions is the humanoid robot of Chinese startup Unitree. The main speakers who attended this year included Geoffrey Hinton, computer scientist nicknamed "Godfather of AI", Anne Bouverot as special envoy to the French President for AI, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. However, Elon Musk, who has usually attended in recent years, has not given this speech. China now seems to be increasingly active in taking a central role in shaping the future direction of world AI, both through technology development, international cooperation, and efforts to form a new global institution. If this proposal is realized, then Shanghai could become a new center for artificial intelligence technology diplomacy.
