Chinese President Xi Jinping's special representative Zhang Guoqing on Monday attended the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Summit in Paris, calling for promoting common development and security in the field of AI to jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind.

Addressing the summit, Zhang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, said AI has become an important driving force for a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation.

China participates in global governance of AI in a highly responsible manner, Zhang said, noting that President Xi introduced the Global AI Governance Initiative in October 2023, contributing Chinese wisdom in this regard.

Facing the opportunities and challenges of AI development, the international community should work together to deepen innovative cooperation, strengthen inclusiveness and universal benefit, and improve global governance, he said.

China welcomes all parties to participate in the 2025 World AI Conference in Shanghai, he added.
