The 2026 World AI Conference (#WAIC) and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance opened in Shanghai on Friday.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres praised China's contributions to global artificial intelligence governance in remarks at the opening ceremony.
He said China had strongly supported the UN #GlobalDigitalCompact and helped secure the unanimous adoption of the General Assembly's first resolution on building #AI capacity.
"The open source strategy of China is an enormous global success," Guterres said.
