As AI reshapes industries and societies, the Global South faces a critical question: How can it harness this technology to close development gaps rather than widen them? A recent CGTN panel featuring global experts tackled this issue head-on, exploring AI's potential to redefine innovation, governance, and equity.
The Opportunity Leap
Muhammad Sadiq of Pakistan's National Center of AI highlighted how developing nations could 'leapfrog' traditional industrialization phases through AI-driven solutions in healthcare and agriculture. Meanwhile, Arthur Goldstuck emphasized: 'This isn’t just about catching up—it’s about rewriting the rules of tech leadership.'
China's Collaborative Role
Brian Tse, founder of Concordia AI, noted China's unique position to share infrastructure expertise and ethical frameworks with fellow Global South members. 'It’s not about tech exports—it’s co-creating systems that respect local contexts,' he stressed during the Shanghai-linked discussion.
Avoiding Zero-Sum Traps
Thorsten Jelinek of Taihe Institute warned against viewing AI development as a competition: 'The real win? Building interoperable standards that prevent new tech monopolies.' The panel unanimously called for inclusive governance models that prioritize shared benefits over geopolitical rivalry.
