China to Attend World AI Conference

Chinese President Xi Jinping will attend the 2026 World AI Conference and deliver a keynote speech

China to Attend World AI Conference

Chinese President Xi Jinping will attend the opening ceremony of the 2026 World AI Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance, scheduled to take place in Shanghai from July 17 to 20, as announced by a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson on Monday, according to reports from China News Service. This development comes as China continues to strengthen its position in the global technology industry, particularly in AI, with experts warning that the US needs to implement new strategies to counter Beijing's growing prowess, as discussed in a recent Congressional round table, which can be found on scmp.com. Xi Jinping's attendance at the conference is seen as a significant move, given his recent promotions of military officers and tapping of a new head of the disciplinary body, as reported in articles such as Xi Jinping Promotes Military Officers, Taps New Head of Disciplinary Body.

It's built from the primary source cited above (a company's own disclosure, a security researcher's published findings, a regulator's filing (FTC, EU data-protection authorities), or a data-breach notification) and reports what that source states, attributed to it — it is not security advice specific to your own devices or accounts, and does not verify a vendor's disputed claim beyond what the source states.
