Lin Jian explained that from July 17 to 20, the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-Level Conference on the Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence was held in Shanghai. President Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony and delivered a keynote speech. Official representatives from more than 100 countries and international organizations and guests from industry, academia and research attended the conference to discuss how to promote the beneficial and inclusive development of global artificial intelligence, and achieved a series of important results. The first is to clarify the direction of global governance of artificial intelligence. Currently, artificial intelligence technology is being iterated at an accelerated pace, opportunities and risks are simultaneously highlighted, and the global governance of artificial intelligence is at an important juncture. President Xi Jinping built a fair and reasonable global AI governance system from the four aspects of development, security, civilization, and governance, explained China's plan, and pointed out the direction for global AI development and governance. It received widespread positive responses from the international community, and is of great historical and practical significance. The second is to help bridge the global smart divide. Currently, there is an imbalance in the development of artificial intelligence around the world, and the North-South intelligence divide continues to widen. In order to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence and strengthen artificial intelligence capacity building in countries, especially countries in the global South, President Xi Jinping announced three major practical measures, which will strongly promote the inclusive development of global artificial intelligence. Third, significant progress has been made in preparing the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization. The signing ceremony for the agreement to establish the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization was held during the conference. Twenty-nine countries from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe signed the agreement on site and became the founding members. China advocated and promoted the establishment of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization, which has made significant progress and significantly strengthened the representation and voice of the countries of the Global South in the global governance of artificial intelligence, which will become an important milestone in the history of artificial intelligence development. Fourth, forge a broad consensus on global artificial intelligence governance. Representatives from about 80 countries and international organizations attended the High-Level Conference on the Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence to conduct in-depth exchanges and discussions on the development and governance of artificial intelligence. As the host country of the conference, China summarized the important views of all participants and sectors on the basis of extensive consultation, and advocated the issuance of the “2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-Level Conference on Artificial Intelligence Global Governance Chairman's Statement”, which fully forges international consensus. The fifth is to promote international cooperation in the development of artificial intelligence. The conference held more than 150 thematic forums and dozens of events such as bilateral and foreign bilateral exchanges and business negotiations. More than 100,000 square meters of artificial intelligence exhibitions were set up. There were more than 1,100 exhibitors from China and abroad, and more than 3,000 cutting-edge exhibits were showcased. These activities have built a platform for cooperation between supply and demand, promoted the global flow of innovative elements, and added new momentum to the development of international artificial intelligence.
