At the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2025, tech leaders spotlighted the urgent need for collaborative AI governance. Vivo's Chief Security Officer Lu Jinghui emphasized balancing innovation with ethics, declaring that global alignment is key.
Consensus Over Conflict: Why Pluralism Matters
Lu stressed that AI development should prioritize ‘pluralistic approaches’ — acknowledging diverse cultural, economic, and political values while fostering shared goals. ‘We must build bridges, not walls,’ he said, advocating for frameworks that respect local contexts without fragmenting global progress.
Tech Summits Turned Action Labs
Conferences like Boao are becoming launchpads for tangible policies. While specifics weren’t disclosed, Lu hinted at Vivo’s upcoming initiatives to boost transparency and public trust in AI — think K-pop fandom levels of engagement, but for tech ethics.
