In response to a related query, Lin Jian said President Xi will systemically elaborate on China's policies, position, visions and propositions on AI development and governance when he addresses the opening ceremony of the conference themed "Intelligent Partners, Co-create the Future."

China has invited government officials and people across industries, universities and research institutes around the world, as well as heads of international organizations to share the moment together in China, Lin added.

Noting that AI technological innovation is undergoing broad-based breakthroughs and demonstrating unprecedented dynamism, Lin said that such progress brings both opportunities and challenges to the international community, making AI governance a profound topic of our times.
