Chinese premier Li Qiang has proposed establishing an organisation to foster global cooperation on artificial intelligence, calling on countries to coordinate on the development and security of the fast-evolving technology, days after the US unveiled plans to deregulate the industry. Speaking at the annual World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai, Li called AI a new engine for growth, adding that governance is fragmented and emphasising the need for more coordination between countries to form a globally recognised framework for AI. Li warned Saturday that artificial intelligence development must be weighed against the security risks, saying global consensus was urgently needed. His remarks came just days after US president Donald Trump unveiled an aggressive low-regulation strategy aimed at cementing US dominance in the fast-moving field. One executive order targeted what the White House described as "woke" artificial intelligence models.

China proves that it is one of the leading countries when it comes to AI medical technology during the annual World AI Conference held in Shanghai on Thursday, July 8. Now with the capability of technology to be incorporated in any area, the innovation has even reached across healthcare systems to help the professionals in their jobs. According to the latest report of Euronews, the field of AI can now aid doctors to address the health problems of their patients in a more advanced way. Particularly, the presence of the innovative equipment has not only helped in the additional tasks of the healthcare personnel, but also paved the way for a more efficient diagnosis and treatment of a disease. The eye-catching features of AI have caught the attention of many global companies to invest in it, especially now that the COVID-19 pandemic continues to hit many countries. The lack of a good healthcare system worsened the problem, and this only contributed to the decline of the overall healthcare quality.

Machine intelligence must go hand-in-hand with human wisdom, Alibaba Group founder Jack Ma said Thursday. Speaking at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, Ma said that humans should strive to better understand themselves and the Earth, especially in the face of a global crisis like the Covid-19 outbreak. "This pandemic has shown us how little we know about ourselves and how little we know about the Earth. Because we don't know ourselves, don't know the world we are living in, don't understand the Earth and don't know how to cherish and preserve the Earth, we have created many troubles and disasters," Ma said via video message. He added that, despite the resources, wealth, knowledge and technological prowess enjoyed by society today, human wisdom was still the key to addressing the world's challenges and was needed to "enhance communication and cooperation" to find impactful and long-lasting solutions.
