NDRC: China Is Working to Make the World AI Cooperation Organization Operational, with 38 Countries Joining as Founding Members

The National Development and Reform Commission held a press conference in its "Striving for the 15th Five-Year Plan" series to introduce efforts to foster and expand new growth drivers. Wang Ruomeng, deputy director of the Department of Innovation and High-Tech Development at the NDRC, said that during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, China will implement the Global AI Governance Initiative and, guided by the principles of mutual respect and win-win cooperation, strengthen policy exchanges and practical cooperation with all parties. China will steadfastly promote open-source and inclusive AI and encourage countries to build intelligent systems that suit their own cultural characteristics and development needs. China is currently advancing the process of making the World AI Cooperation Organization operational, and 38 countries have joined as founding members. China will step up coordination with all parties on AI development strategies, governance rules, and technical standards, and strive to deliver a batch of practical, accessible cooperation outcomes as soon as possible.
