Xi Jinping has announced an array of initiatives to present China as an alternative leader in the race to govern artificial intelligence.

Summary

Xi Jinping has introduced a series of initiatives aimed at positioning China as a primary leader in global AI governance, specifically targeting partnerships with developing nations. These efforts focus on technology sharing and the establishment of international rules that could challenge Western-led safety and ethical frameworks.

Understanding China's role is critical for evaluating the future of international cooperation on existential AI risks.
