TREE NEWS update: China’s State Internet Information Office deputy director Wang Jingtao told a ministerial meeting at the 2026 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit on Nov. 3 that the international community must steer artificial intelligence toward a human-centered and beneficial direction. Wang cited rapid advances in large models, AI agents and embodied intelligence, while warning that ethical, cybersecurity and regulatory risks are mounting. He offered five proposals covering open innovation, digital empowerment, security safeguards, cooperation and fairness.
China’s Cyberspace Official Calls for Global AI Governance at Wuzhen Summit
Beijing is using a multilateral internet forum to stake out a governance position on AI, and the framing — human-centered, beneficial, with security safeguards — is the language of standard-setting rather than product policy. The five proposals read as an attempt to shape norms before rules harden, which matters most for firms deploying large models and agents across borders. Whether these proposals gain traction in international fora, or remain a national position voiced at a Chinese-hosted summit, is the open question worth watching.
