China and US need to cooperate on AI or risk ‘opening Pandora’s box’, ambassador warns
China's ambassador to the US, Xie Feng, has urged for greater cooperation on artificial intelligence, warning that the technology carries the risk of "opening Pandora's box." He emphasized that instead of technological blockades, the focus should be on collaborative efforts to ensure human progress in this rapidly evolving field.
Xie's call for cooperation comes amid advancements from Chinese AI companies like DeepSeek, whose low-cost, open-source model has shown the potential for high profitability. He highlighted the urgent need for global governance in AI, suggesting that the US and China should work together to manage the risks associated with unchecked AI development, which he likened to unleashing "grey rhinos," or obvious but ignored threats.
