习近平指出，当前，世界百年变局加速演进，新一轮科技革命和产业变革加速突破，全球人工智能技术创新进入前所未有的活跃期，既蕴含巨大机遇，也面临治理挑战。人类不得不直面时代之问：当机器开始思考，人类如何与之相处？当算法参与决策，安全如何保障？当技术挑战伦理，治理如何跟上？当鸿沟不断拉大，普惠如何实现？中方认为，各国应当秉持以人为本、向上向善理念，让人工智能成为促进共同繁荣、维护共同安全的一个重要动力源，携手构建公正合理的全球人工智能治理体系。

习近平就此提出4点意见：

第一，坚持开放共赢，驱动创新发展。抓住难得的历史性机遇，鼓励开源开放、合作共享，全面促进人工智能科技创新、产业发展、场景应用，协同推进传统产业改造升级、新兴产业培育壮大、未来产业前瞻布局，让人工智能赋能千行百业。

第二，强化风险意识，确保安全可控。高度重视人工智能引发的各类内生和衍生风险，推动构建法律法规、技术监测、风险预警、应急响应体系，筑牢安全底线，防范滥用恶用，确保人工智能始终处于人类控制之下。共同反对在人工智能领域泛化国家安全概念、把本国安全凌驾于他国安全之上的做法。

第三，鼓励包容并蓄，促进文明互鉴。用全人类共同价值塑造人工智能的价值观，善用人工智能技术增进不同文明的理解和包容，促进不同文明交流互鉴，精心培育各美其美、美美与共的文明百花园。

第四，倡导和衷共济，完善全球治理。践行真正的多边主义，切实发挥联合国的重要作用，加强人工智能发展战略、治理规则、技术标准的对接协调，早日形成具有广泛共识的全球治理框架，让这一前沿技术更好造福人类社会。帮助全球南方国家加强能力建设，弥合数智鸿沟，促进可持续发展，避免在人工智能领域造成新的历史不公。

习近平强调，今年是中国“十五五”开局之年。“十五五”规划为未来5年中国经济社会发展擘画蓝图，也为国际社会提供机遇清单。近年来，中国坚持有效市场和有为政府相结合，加强人工智能科技创新，积极推进“人工智能+”行动，培育各类主体共生共荣的健康生态，智能经济核心产业规模已经超过万亿元人民币，“中国智造”已成为中国式现代化的又一亮丽名片。同时，中国坚持发展和安全并重，不断完善相关法律法规、政策制度、应用规范、伦理准则，确保人工智能安全、可靠、可控。作为负责任大国，中国在人工智能领域始终致力于做国际公共产品的提供者，源源不断贡献中国方案。

习近平指出，在各方共同努力下，世界人工智能合作组织在上海应运而生。这是中方响应全球南方呼声、团结国际社会积极推动人工智能发展和治理的重大举措，将成为人工智能发展史上的一个重要里程碑。为进一步支持全球人工智能发展、推进全球人工智能能力建设，未来5年，中国将面向发展中国家提供5000个人工智能专题研修培训名额；面向东盟、阿盟、非盟、拉共体、上合组织、金砖国家建设国际人工智能应用合作中心；推动气象智能预警方案“妈祖”在30个国家落地应用。中国愿以更加开放的姿态、更加务实的行动、更加长远的目光，同各方一道把握和应对人工智能发展的机遇和挑战，携手共创人类社会更加美好的未来。

哈萨克斯坦总统托卡耶夫、柬埔寨首相洪玛奈、泰国总理阿努廷、联合国秘书长古特雷斯分别致辞。他们热烈祝贺世界人工智能合作组织协定签署仪式在上海举行，高度评价中国为推动人工智能全球治理作出的重要贡献，积极呼应习近平主席提出的倡议和举措。各方表示，人工智能有望成为人类最大的发展机遇，也潜藏着风险。中国倡导智能向善、普惠包容、安全可控，积极帮助发展中国家加强相关能力建设，推动人工智能国际合作，彰显了负责任的大国担当。人工智能技术应由各国共享共治，使其公平惠及所有国家，服务全人类可持续发展，消弭全球数智鸿沟和南北发展差距。人工智能带来的机遇与挑战跨越国界，需要各方携手合作把握和应对。希望并相信世界人工智能合作组织将为此发挥重要作用，通过开放包容、平等互惠的合作，共同打造安全、繁荣、不让任何国家掉队的美好未来。

Xi calls for equitable global AI governance, unveils new cooperation body

SHANGHAI, July 17 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday announced the creation of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization (WAICO) and called for joint efforts to build a just and equitable system for global AI governance.

"All countries should take a people-centered approach and develop AI for the positive and for good. We should ensure that AI is an important driver for shared prosperity and common security," Xi said while addressing the opening ceremony of the 2026 World AI Conference (WAIC) and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in Shanghai.

China is a global leader in AI development. In 2025, its core AI industries were worth over 1.2 trillion yuan (about 176.6 billion U.S. dollars), while the number of AI enterprises nationwide exceeded 6,200.

The country's open-source large AI models have been downloaded more than 10 billion times in total, continuing to create new and broader opportunities for global cooperation in AI innovation.

The world has entered an unprecedented period of active innovation on AI technologies, Xi said in his keynote address. He raised questions about how humans can get along with thinking machines, how security can be ensured when algorithm is part of decision-making, how ethical challenges by technologies can be tackled through adaptive governance, and how AI for all can be realized when the divide keeps widening.

"These questions demand serious consideration and real answers from the whole international community," he said.

Xi stressed the need for adhering to the principles of openness and win-win and boosting innovation-driven development, strengthening risk-awareness and ensuring that AI is secure and controllable, encouraging inclusiveness and promoting mutual learning between civilizations, and advocating solidarity and improving global governance.

"We should jointly oppose overstretching the national security concept in the field of AI and placing one country's security over that of others," he said. 

The important role of the United Nations should be recognized in global AI governance, Xi noted, calling for enhancing alignment and coordination on AI development strategies, governance rules and technical standards.

"We must carry out extensive international cooperation and help Global South countries with capacity building to bridge the AI and digital divides, promote sustainable development, and prevent creating new historical injustice in AI," he said.

As a responsible major country, China is always committed to providing international public goods relating to AI, said Xi, who proposed the Global AI Governance Initiative in 2023.

The country has also provided Chinese solutions for global AI governance through various efforts, including the launch of the AI Capacity-Building Action Plan for Good and for All and the AI Plus International Cooperation Initiative.

"AI development should not be a solo performance by a single country, but a symphony of international cooperation," said the Chinese president.

The establishment of the WAICO, Xi said, is a major move by China to answer the call of the Global South and unite the international community together to promote vigorously AI development and governance. "It will be an important milestone in the history of AI development," he said. Twenty-nine countries have signed the agreement on the organization's creation as its founding members.

To further advance global AI capacity building, China will provide developing countries with 5,000 opportunities in AI training and seminar programs in the next five years, Xi pledged.

China will develop international AI application cooperation centers with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the League of Arab States, the African Union, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS. It will also enable 30 countries to use the AI-powered meteorological warning system, known as MAZU, to safeguard homes around the world, Xi said.

China has hosted the WAIC annually since 2018 as a key platform to forge global AI partnerships to unlock AI's benefits for all. Themed "AI Partnership for a Brighter Future," this year's event includes more than 140 forums, bringing together 1,400 guests from home and abroad.

Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres delivered speeches at the opening ceremony.

Speaking highly of China's contribution to advancing global AI governance, they said the opportunities and challenges brought by AI know no borders and should be seized and addressed by all parties.

They expressed confidence that the WAICO will play an important role to this end.  ■
