BlockBeats News, July 17th - President Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony of the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and the Global Governance Forum on Artificial Intelligence. During his keynote speech, he mentioned the Chinese saying, "A single string does not make a melody, and a single tree does not make a forest." The development of artificial intelligence should not be a solo performance by any single country but should be a global symphony of cooperation, encouraging open source, openness, collaboration, and sharing to enable AI adoption across various industries.

He also emphasized the need to ensure that AI always remains under human control. Countries should establish legal regulations, technical monitoring, risk alerts, and emergency response systems to prevent the misuse of AI.

Xi Jinping also opposed the broadening of the concept of national security to prioritize one's own country's security over others. AI should also not undermine the cultural specificities of nations and the diversity of world civilizations.
