China Leads Establishment of Global AI Organization, 29 Countries Join, Headquarters in Shanghai

According to DeepInsight Beating Monitor, 29 countries have signed an agreement to establish the World Artificial Intelligence Organization. This is an intergovernmental international organization headquartered in Shanghai.

The founding members include countries such as China, Russia, Brazil, Cuba, and Serbia. There are 10 African countries and 12 Asian countries among them.

The organization will promote international AI cooperation, capacity building, and global governance. China proposed the establishment of this organization last year and has now officially received the support of the initial members.

China hopes to help global South countries lower the threshold for AI adoption through open-source models and technology training. The AI competition between China and the U.S. has also expanded from companies and products to international organizations and rule-making.
