The Council of Heads of State of the Member States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has issued a statement endorsing the pivotal role of the United Nations in artificial intelligence. The statement welcomes pertinent resolutions and the Plan for Inclusive Capacity Building in Artificial Intelligence. It underscores the importance of strengthening cooperation on AI infrastructure and fostering international collaboration on voluntary application participation, all within the framework of respect for national laws and regulations.
