      “Last week, the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference was held in Shanghai. This year’s theme highlighted global AI governance. As the world faces increasing deglobalisation risks and trade disputes, the conference foregrounds the necessity of global cooperation over AI safety. Attendees discussed key risks in AI such as bias, infringement on intellectual property rights and private data, military use and environmental damages, stressing that these issues should be addressed by the international community. Countries and regions that build frameworks to govern AI, as a new form of capital, with responsibility, equity and inclusion will set international standards. Chinese Premier Li Qiang stressed the need for broader global participation to promote AI’s safe deployment.”

      …etc etc. Ok so this article sorta feels ChatGPT-written/propaganda-ey but it’s probably somewhat reflective of CCP views, which to me is interesting, since they often communicate their views indirectly through op-eds like this.

      Since China is behind the US right now they have incentives to cooperate. The big questions are, in what areas does it make sense to cooperate? Most Americans probably don’t want China to catch up, but many would probably agree it’d be good to coordinate on things like autonomous weapons, or AI safety. Also, where doesn’t it make sense to cooperate?

      It seems they may be trying to preserve some competitive options in the event of cooling Taiwanese tensions.

      It is because they are not having any clue on what they are doing. Meaning they dont have the results they want to. In which turn they just want to steal everybodys elses intellecutal property

      China will use AI to oppress it’s people. We should share nothing with them. They will simply lie about their intentions as usual.

      They want to steal it. Same way China has reached many of its “advances” lately. Steal it from another country.

      Bonus points when they don’t fully understand why something works and mess up implementation because of it

      So many people against progress here, embittered by archaic notions of “nationalism” and “freedom” and “unopporession”

      They are good at reverse engineering stuffs and creating cheaper versions. Flooding the markets with low quality cheap products

      If South America buys all its robots from China, then China will have a great deal of control over South America.

      How much of China’s economy is based off exports? The long -term health of an economy is reliant on its extremely low wage labor to produce goods for overseas consumption. If robots and AI can replace the low-wage overseas workers then a big part of China’s economy goes with it. I’m guessing China is desperate to figure out plan B and slow AIs role.

      So many AI experts here, with insights into Chinese AI dev programs. How can you even tell if they are ahead or behind? I dont think that this would be knowledge available to their citizens. China has autonomous cars, public invigilation based on ai recognition etc. Is it r/future or r/2000s_thinking?

      Good God, full of brainwashed people without the slightest hint of critically thinking or self reflection.

      Unless you really missed, I’m not talking about the Chinese.
