Shanghai just hosted a major milestone in the AI revolution! 🌍 At the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, China proposed a Global Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization to unite nations in shaping ethical, inclusive tech policies. The move comes weeks after Chinese Premier Li Qiang unveiled the 'Digital South' initiative at the BRICS Summit, pledging to empower developing countries through tech capacity-building.
🔍 Why it matters: With AI widening global inequalities, the 'Digital South' aims to turn cutting-edge innovation into shared prosperity. Think 'Bridging the Gap 2.0' – from AI infrastructure to digital literacy programs. But how can countries collaborate under the Global Development Initiative (GDI) to make this vision real?
💡 Spoiler alert: It’s not just about funding. Experts say success hinges on open-source knowledge sharing, adapting tech to local needs (like agri-tech for small farmers 🌾), and ensuring AI governance doesn’t become a 'rich nations’ club.'
📅 Mark your calendars: Tune into CGTN’s A Digital South Together on August 5 at 11:15 BJT for deep dives and live debates. Will 2025 be the year the Global South rewrites the AI playbook? Let’s find out! 🚀
