China: Willing to Deepen Cooperation to Promote Healthy AI Development

Chen Jiachang, Vice Minister of China's Ministry of Science and Technology, pointed out in his speech that AI has become a crucial driving force leading a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. China is willing to work with all countries to deepen international cooperation, promote the healthy development of AI, boost global economic growth, and enhance the well-being of people worldwide.

Chen Jiachang, Vice Minister of China's Ministry of Science and Technology: China adheres to an open-source and open path of AI innovation, accelerating the construction of a technological innovation ecosystem that benefits the world. China has become the largest contributor to global AI patents, accounting for 60% of the global total. China brings the world together through open source; the AI open-source community built by the industry has gathered 170,000 multimodal open-source models, serving 20 million developers worldwide.

Fu Cong, China's Permanent Representative to the UN: We must uphold multilateralism, adhere to the principles of extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits to advance AI development, and support the UN in playing a central role. Through the joint efforts of the group, we should promote the establishment of an AI scientific advisory mechanism and a global governance dialogue, build broad consensus, and achieve pragmatic results. It is essential to ensure that all countries, especially those in the Global South, can effectively participate in global governance, preventing AI from becoming a "game" for a few wealthy nations or groups.
