The 2025 World AI Conference, which opened on Saturday in Shanghai, will focus on integrating AI governance with industrial practices.
Spanning over 70,000 square meters, the exhibition has attracted more than 800 enterprises to showcase over 3,000 cutting-edge products, including more than 100 making their world or China debut.
This conference has introduced a "three-question" mechanism of "mathematical questioning, model questioning, and scientific questioning".
There will be 12 Nobel Prize and Turing Award laureates weighing in on AI-related topics in academic discussions.
For the first time, the event will integrate themes of AI governance standards, intellectual property rights, and open-source culture into the framework of industrial practices.
"This year's conference will explore how AI governance and industrial practices can be integrated. For example, it will examine how AI governance shapes standards development, intellectual property regimes, and how open-source initiatives can be carried out within the broader context of AI global governance," said Zhong Junhao, a member of the Secretariat of the World AI Conference.
Throughout the event, numerous forums and exchange sessions will be held, with over 1,200 participants from more than 30 countries and regions in attendance.

Italian political and social figures have strongly condemned the U.S. military intervention in Venezuela, in which the U.S. special forces kidnapped President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.
Critics argue that the United States, driven by its desire for Venezuela's oil resources, has violated international law by forcibly interfering in the country's internal affairs, an act that not only infringes on Venezuela's national sovereignty but also threatens peace and stability in Latin America.
"A major power like the United States has repeatedly violated international law. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last. The U.S. action is extremely blatant, extremely shocking. We have become accustomed to it," said Italian MP Riccardo Ricciardi.
"They (the United States) can kidnap, kill, invade, and plunder other countries' resources. By what right? The right of the powerful? The right of gangsters? This is precisely the problem facing the world today. We must build a new international system -- a system in which such actions are no longer permitted and will be held accounted to pay dearly," said Pino Arlacchi, former UN under-secretary-general, who is also an Italian sociologist.
"The incident is an unprecedented international crime, an armed aggression against a sovereign state resulting in over 100 deaths. The forced control of a sitting head of state violates at least 30 international laws, including the UN Charter and other international customary laws," said Fabio Marcelli, an Italian legal expert.
"Donald Trump's objective is not to combat drug trafficking, which is only a pretext. The true U.S. objective is to gain control of Venezuela's resources. The United States does not represent the entire American continent, nor is it the sole protagonist in the global landscape. Ultimately, it is U.S.-led unilateralism challenging multilateralism," said Clara Statello, an Italian journalist.
