# Xi tells World AI Conference no single country should monopolise AI

**[The Next Web](https://daily.dev/sources/tnw)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Xi Jinping delivered his first in-person keynote at the World AI Conference in Shanghai, framing AI as a technology that should be shared globally rather than monopolised by any single nation. His speech pitched China as a champion of open AI for the developing world while implicitly criticising US export controls on advanced chips. The address came a day after 29 governments signed a China-led World AI Cooperation Organization, headquartered in Shanghai, with UN Secretary-General Guterres attending the launch. Xi promised capacity-building for Africa, Latin America, Asia and BRICS nations, extending a free-AI offer to the global south. Huawei used the occasion to unveil its Atlas 950 SuperPoD computing cluster, designed to operate without Nvidia's top chips. The event signals China's push to set AI governance standards for developing nations as a counterweight to Western-led frameworks.
