In order to better mitigate the growing risks related to Artificial Intelligence and its concentration in a select few countries, Chinese Premier Li Qiang is urging leaders to form a global AI group.
At an AI conference in Shanghai, Li emphasised the need for international exchanges on the technology, with China to lead the global initiative, Bloomberg reported.
The comments come in the wake of the US unveiling its own AI action plan designed to ensure the nation dominates AI in the future.
The US plan is focused on cutting regulations, including streamlining processes permitting data centres, chip manufacturing and energy infrastructure. It also aims to make US hardware and software the global standard for AI.
The Premier argued key resources and capabilities are currently concentrated in a few countries and companies, adding “if we engage in technological monopoly, controls and restrictions, AI will become an exclusive game for a small number of countries and enterprises,” Bloomberg wrote.
He also acknowledged a shortage of AI chips was a major bottleneck for China, the news agency noted.
