Conference emphasizes need to bolster cross-border AI governance

Two key outcomes — the "Global AI Governance Rules Map 2025" and "Global AI Governance Regulation Collaboration Research Platform" — were launched at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai on Sunday, aiming to tackle global AI governance challenges and advance international coordination.

The unveiling came during the Global AI Policy Dialogue and Collaboration Development forum, a WAIC 2025 highlight co-hosted by China University of Political Science and Law (CUPL) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The two research outputs led by CUPL Professor Zhang Linghan, were designed to provide critical support for addressing fragmented global AI governance and promoting cross-border collaboration.
