An article featured in Nature magazine highlights China's preeminent role in shaping AI regulatory frameworks and urges the international community to actively engage with China's proposal for the establishment of the "World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization" (WAICO). At present, the global landscape of AI governance is marked by a leadership void, where rapid technological advancements in AI are juxtaposed with looming risks.

Regulatory approaches vary significantly across nations: the United States predominantly relies on corporate self-regulation, lacking a comprehensive regulatory apparatus; the European Union, while having enacted legislation, encounters hurdles in its effective implementation. In contrast, China is forging ahead with the systematic development of AI regulations.

Grasping the essence of China's AI standards is paramount, especially considering its "open weights" model policy, which has enticed a multitude of global firms to construct services atop this framework. Given the inadequacies of current international regulatory structures, engaging in geopolitical rivalries over AI is neither prudent nor productive. Instead, nations ought to collaborate to forge a consensus on the safe and responsible utilization of AI. China's initiative merits a warm reception, and all stakeholders should actively contribute to its realization.
