Artificial intelligence is transforming our world at an unprecedented pace. But will it deepen the global AI divide or become a force for the common good?

Former Slovenian President Danilo Türk has warned that technology must not become the privilege of a handful of nations. Instead, it should be treated as a public good that benefits everyone. In response to this global challenge, China has proposed the Global AI Governance Initiative, advocating for AI development guided by a people-centered approach, respect for national sovereignty, safety and controllability, fairness and inclusiveness, and ethics first. These principles aim to ensure that AI serves as a shared benefit for all humanity. The question remains: Who will AI ultimately serve? The answer may shape the future of us all.
