Special Representative of Chinese President Xi Jinping, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, and a deputy prime minister of the Council of State will travel to France from Sunday to Wednesday. According to China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the host was invited.
The third edition of the AI Summit will be held after China’s Deepseek rocked the global AI industry with innovation, and Paris’ Grand Palais brings together heads of national and government, leaders of international organizations, CEOs of small and medium-sized enterprises and representatives It’s planned. According to media coverage and the official website of organizers, non-governmental organizations, artists and civil society members, academia, to discuss the safe development of AI.
China has joined the AI Summit to gain insight into its international approach to AI development, including measures to drive growth and strengthen its security framework. At the same time, China aims to share its own experience and contribute to global cooperation in this field, Xue Lan is currently in Paris to attend the AI Summit in Paris. He is the director of the Institute and spoke globally. Sunday time.
Since the launch of AI development plans was announced in 2017, China has made rapid progress in AI development and applications, accumulating extensive experience in both growth and governance. As a responsible major country, China is committed to sharing insights and promoting global AI governance. The rise of Deepseek has also demonstrated an innovative pathway for AI development and has broken the monopoly of several large corporations in certain countries. The development will further strengthen China’s role at the summit, and Xue welcomed it.
In a recent report, the BBC said “China is “dramatically blowing the AI competition in a new direction with Deepseek, its super-efficient, ultra-violent AI assistants.” The AI sector, despite its vast wealth and AI infrastructure, may not be that much after all. ”
Gina Neff of the Minderoo Technology and Democracy Center at Cambridge University said in a BBC report that there is currently a “vacuum for global leadership in AI.” Dame Wendy Hall, a graduate of Southampton University, agrees. “Deepseek made everyone realize that China is a force to consider,” says computer scientists. “We don’t have to go along with what big companies on the West Coast are saying. We need global dialogue,” the professor said.
The US has sent Vice President JD Vance, Openry CEO Sam Altman and Google’s Sundar Pichai to the event, according to the BBC, which described it as “as a unique defensive signal and serious firepower.” Masu.
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi also confirmed his attendance at the summit – not at previous gatherings. Elon Musk doesn’t particularly exist on the official guest list, but whether he’s in person there or not, he definitely has something to say about it, the BBC report says.
Deepseek’s success reduced the financial barriers to global AI participation and promoted a more level playing field through technological advancements. This is consistent with the international community’s expectations for comprehensive AI development and governance, Xue said.
Just before the AI Summit in Paris, US President Donald Trump said on February 7th that he was not aware of Deepshek as a threat to national security, according to video footage from Forbes Breaknews. He said.
When asked in the video, “If you believe Deepshek poses a threat to national security,” Trump replied that day “no.” “This is technology under development…I think I’ll actually benefit from it,” he said, “The AI we’re talking about would be much cheaper than the people we originally thought. It’s a good thing. I don’t think this is a very good development, not a bad development.”
The US efforts to curb China’s AI industry have not reached expectations. China has consistently advocated for strengthening international cooperation to address global challenges together, but Xue said this position is even more persuasive in the current global landscape. It’s there.
Zhang Linghan, a Chinese University of Political Science, is a Chinese expert at a high-level advisory body on artificial intelligence who also attends the Paris summit, and has included the principles that the rise of Deepseek is outlined in China’s global AI. I emphasized that it has become a reality. The governance initiative emphasizes that technology is “human-centric” and “promotes the common benefits of technological advancements around the world.”
AI competition is not a zero-sum game, and restrictions and quarantine are hampering advances in technological advances. Collaboration and open knowledge exchange are key to ensuring that AI serves humanity’s best interests, Zhang Linghan said.
On February 11th, China held a side event entitled “AI Technology Advances and Its Applications,” focusing on China’s progress in AI Development, Governance Strategy and the vision of international cooperation. The event aims to strengthen interactions with global AI experts and share China’s progress in AI development and regulation, according to Xue, who will be participating in the side event as a guest speaker.
Wideer platform
Safety commitments dominated the conversation at Bletchley Park, England and at previous Global AI Summits in Seoul. In Paris, creating new regulations is not on the agenda, according to Reuters.
According to the Summit official website, the main themes of this year’s AI Action Summit cover the main themes of this year’s AI, the future of work, the future of innovation and culture, and the trust in AI and global AI governance.
This is the third AI safety summit, following the second summit in Korea and the first in the UK. The previous security-focused summit will further expand the debate and provide a broader platform for countries around the world to engage in AI competition, development and governance, Xue told Global Times.
According to Reuters on February 5, France is eager to promote domestic industry, holding an AI action summit with India on February 10th and 11th, bringing the second largest economy in Europe It focuses on areas with benefits. Open source: Clean Energy for Systems and Power Data Centers.
Reuters said in the report that mitigating disruption in labour and fostering sovereignty in the global AI market is also on the agenda.
The report also states that a non-binding communicature of AI stewardship principles, which we, China and others, is in negotiation and as those involved in the summit say, It has revealed that it will ultimately represent an important milestone.
A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry described China as a proactive advocate and practitioner of AI global governance during a regular press conference on Friday. In October 2023, President XI advocated a global initiative for AI governance. This proposed Chinese solutions and contributed to Chinese wisdom on this deep topic of this era.
When President XI visited France last May, China and France issued a joint declaration on AI and global governance.
Vice President Zhang Guoqing, who will be present at the summit as a special representative of President Xi, will implement a common understanding between the two presidents and demonstrate China’s responsible attitude as a leading country in the field of AI. It is a step that demonstrates its commitment to developing and safety. AI, Lin said.
Through this summit, China looks forward to strengthening communication and exchanges with all aspects, pooling consensus for cooperation, and actively promoting the implementation of the UN Global Digital Compact. We also welcome to participate in the 2025 World AI Conference in China around the world, forming an AI Global Governance Framework based on broad consensus and promoting AI for all, spokesman said.
High-quality open source technologies such as Deepseek inspire the scientific community around the world, learning from the best and strive for excellence. This not only encourages healthy competition in AI development, but also allows global tropical countries with relatively undeveloped technologies to have free access to high-quality AI services, and Zhang Linghan said.
At the same time, the availability and accessibility of open source AI technologies further highlights the need for global collaboration on AI safety and governance, encouraging the rapid establishment of a governance ecosystem that prevents downstream misuse and abuse of AI. She said.
