China rejects confrontation in the AI debate and defends "good-oriented" technology
Beijing has called for an international regulation of open and inclusive artificial intelligence and warned that threatening speeches and "malicious rivalry" hamper its governance.
China on Monday rejected "threat speeches" and confrontation over the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and advocated "open, inclusive, accessible to all and good oriented" technology.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a press conference that the development of AI affects the well-being of all mankind, which is why he said that all countries must work together to develop the international regime of this technology.
China calls for cooperation in the face of "malicious competition"
According to Guo, "spreading threatening speeches" or encouraging "malicious competition" will hinder AI's international regulation. According to Guo, such practices "do no good to anyone's interests."
The spokesman also highlighted the impact of new technologies on cyberspace, explaining that China has already incorporated AI into national cybersecurity regulations and continues to adapt and develop rules and codes of ethics in this area.
Guo has expressed China's willingness to cooperate with the international community to address the dangers of the "smart age" in the field of cybersecurity and to promote the use of the Internet for the benefit of citizens of all countries.
Intense debate in the United States
These statements come at a time when Beijing has opened a debate on the need to slow down or regulate AI development in the US. Several prominent Silicon Valley representatives, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk, have called for a deliberate slowdown in the development of more advanced models, given the risk of losing control over these systems.
U.S. President Donald Trump, however, has opposed this position and called those calling for AI regulation a "negative force." Trump has stressed that the U.S. is ahead of China in artificial intelligence and wants to maintain that advantage.
China Wants to Strengthen Control
Coinciding with the US debate, Chinese State Security Minister Chen Yixin has advocated a "healthy and orderly" development of AI, calling for increased control over data, algorithms, computing infrastructure, and applications for both civilian and military use.
China is focusing on the AI race through companies like DeepSeek, Moonshot, Alibaba, Tencent, and Zhipu, which are taking advantage of open models, competitive prices, and fast marketing, and are approaching America's most advanced systems despite Washington's restrictions on the export of advanced chips.
Last summer, Chinese President Xi Jinpingcalled for "concrete and effective" governance of the A0AI, and China created an international cooperation organization on artificial intelligence in Shanghai, involving some 30 countries.
The debate broke out two weeks before Xi Jinping's planned visit to the White House in late September, with AI likely to be one of the main issues at the meeting between the US and Chinese presidents.
