Building on a domestic research network, the Global AI Governance Regulation Collaboration Research platform has expanded internationally, establishing nodes across continents and engaging leading global experts. It aims to pool global wisdom for inclusive, consensus-based governance frameworks, extending to representative countries and regions.

Shahbaz Khan, director and representative of UNESCO regional office for East Asia, highlighted that over 2 billion people — 70 percent in Africa — lack access to internet infrastructure. He stressed the need to include these populations to "unlock their potential and leave no one behind", adding that AI must empower humanity under the premise of ethics and fairness. Citing the UN Global Digital Compact and China's initiatives, he noted that the path ahead is challenging but crucial.
