From June 25-27, the coastal city of Dalian in northeast China’s Liaoning Province buzzed with tech-driven energy as global leaders gathered for the 15th Annual Meeting of the New Champions (Summer Davos). This year’s hot topic? Artificial Intelligence—its promises, perils, and the path to responsible innovation.
Tech moguls and policymakers highlighted AI’s role in tackling global challenges like climate change and healthcare. One CEO compared AI’s transformative potential to “the invention of electricity”, while others emphasized the need for collaborative frameworks to prevent misuse.
Ethics dominated discussions, with leaders stressing “human-centered AI” that prioritizes inclusivity and transparency. A startup founder from Shenzhen shared how AI is boosting rural education, proving tech isn’t just for megacities.
While excitement was palpable, warnings echoed too: “Regulation can’t lag behind innovation,” noted a European policy expert. The consensus? AI’s future depends on balancing bold ideas with guardrails.
