Bian Yongzu, executive deputy editor-in-chief of Modernization of Management magazine, told the Global Times that AI will profoundly reshape society, create new modes of production and disruptive technologies, and greatly expand human thinking and physical capabilities. Developing AI is a priority for all countries. China"s open-source AI and its call for global collaboration reflect an open, inclusive vision of sharing technological progress with the world.
Bian pointed out that only in this way can the benefits of AI reach everyone in society. China stands ready to work with all countries to bridge the digital divide through open-source sharing and technological cooperation, ensuring that all nations, especially developing countries, can equally participate in and benefit from the AI revolution, so that technological progress truly serves the common development of all humanity.
