AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

World AI Conference in Shanghai: Xi Jinping opened WAIC and pushed AI as a “symphony” of global cooperation, warning against turning AI into a national-security tool and backing a China-led, 29-nation World AI Cooperation Organization (WAICO) with training and governance support for developing countries. Embodied AI demo: BrainCo unveiled a “brain-to-robot” platform at WAIC, letting users control robots via EEG signals. AI governance bloc-building: Reports say WAICO is positioned as an alternative governance channel as countries weigh China-led efforts alongside US initiatives; Indonesia’s minister said both can coexist. Tech tourism push: Xinhua highlights “tech tours” and visa-free travel growth, with more visitors seeking hands-on AI and robotics experiences in cities like Shenzhen. Policy shift for batteries: China plans a 2% consumption tax on lithium-ion batteries from Sept 1, rising to 4% in 2027, while keeping sodium-ion and solid-state exemptions through 2028. Disaster update: Chongqing’s mountain collapse left 8 dead and 34 missing as rescue teams continue. Science finding: A fossil study suggests modern birds shed dinosaur-like tails step by step toward the short pygostyle tail.
