Well, President Xi spoke at China's World AI Conference here in Shanghai, and he pitched for Beijing to lead the AI world order. He took a veiled swipe at the U.S.'s proprietary models by saying that AI development, quote, should not be a solo performance. He also called for efforts to avoid what he described as historical injustice in AI. And he also praised what's being seen here as China's answer to the U.S.'s Paxilica initiative. So this is a group that was established last year, but didn't really get much membership until this week. Twenty nine countries are going to be or have already joined, not the United States. And this is meant to share technology and expertise in AI and ultimately to help set new standards when it comes to AI as well as rules. Now, President Xi had also cautioned against what he described as overstretching the concept of national security when it comes to AI. And, today, he's been preaching a whole lot of openness in contrast, or at least to attempt to contrast, the Chinese perspective versus the U.S. closed model. Now, of course, openness in China is not really clear in terms of what they actually mean, because even though this is the World AI Conference, OpenAI, Anthropic, the big LLMs are not here, and generally the Chinese don't allow them to operate in China.
