China proposes global AI governance

China proposed a global AI governance framework, advocating for international coordination to address fragmented regulations and differing national approaches to artificial intelligence. Premier Li Qiang emphasized the need for broad consensus on AI oversight, implicitly referencing US restrictions on AI technology and warning against technological monopolies that could limit AI's benefits to a few nations. The proposal comes as the US pursues its own AI dominance strategy, highlighting the growing competition and trade tensions between the two economic powers over the critical technology.
