How does China’s AI stack up against ChatGPT?
The Chinese president first brought up that concept in 2015 during the second Wuzhen conference.
Last year, China issued a white paper explaining the concept. It said China was engaged in active cross-border collaboration relating to the digital economy, cyber security and global cyberspace governance to promote the inclusive development of the internet.
Xi, in calling for a more peaceful and secure cyberspace, said all parties needed to respect cyber sovereignty and each country’s own way of internet governance.
“There’s need to respect international rules, oppose seeking hegemony, bloc confrontation and [an] arms race in cyberspace,” he said.
