As AI Booms, China Proposes Global Governance Body for Ethical Oversight

At this year’s World AI Conference (WAIC), which concluded in Shanghai Monday, artificial intelligence companies showed growing alignment behind the U.N.-backed “AI for Good” initiative — a commitment that industry leaders say has shifted from idealism to an urgent reality.

Reflecting this shift, the event showcased everything from AI-powered video generators to humanoid robots, demonstrating how new tech is being developed not just for efficiency and performance but also with a focus on social impact, inclusivity, and ethical governance. The three-day conference, which drew around 1,200 representatives from 30 countries and featured over 800 global exhibitors, came as China seeks a more active role in shaping global AI governance.
