A delegation led by a senior official from the Ministry of Science and Technology is attending the UK-hosted first Global Artificial Intelligence (AI) Safety Summit from Wednesday to Thursday, where they will introduce the significance of the Global AI Governance Initiative which was launched by China during the Third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation (BRF) in October.

Chinese analysts said the summit is not just an event about cutting-edge science and technology issues, but it also has a strong political significance as it will encompass interest allocation and rule-making. Without the participation of China, a leading country in the field of AI which stands on the same starting line as the US, the summit will be incomplete. Experts added that the US needs to cooperate with China rather than contain and slow down China's development in this field. 

Wu Zhaohui, vice minister of science and technology, is leading a delegation to the AI Safety Summit that is being held at Bletchley Park in the UK between November 1-2, 2023. At present, AI technology is developing rapidly, and opportunities and challenges coexist, China Central Television (CCTV) reported on Wednesday.
