The World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2025 opened in Shanghai on Saturday has delivered immediate outcomes with the launch of an AI governance center, an open-source initiative and a donated AI agent for disaster early warning.

At the opening ceremony of the event, the Center of Global AI Innovative Governance was officially established. Drawing on China's practical experience in AI governance, the center focuses on capacity building and drives collaborative governance. It aims to provide a wealth of international public goods to countries worldwide and contribute to the early establishment of a globally agreed-upon governance framework and standard norms.

In addition, the launch of the International Open Source AI Cooperation Initiative was also one of the key outcomes. As open source and openness are vital drivers for advancing AI development, this initiative aims to harness the wisdom of the open-source community to propel technological innovation, enhance ecological governance, accelerate application empowerment, respect intellectual property rights, and enable open-source technology to serve as a bridge that breaks barriers and illuminates a future of inclusive sharing.

China also unveiled its solution to Early Warnings for All initiative at the event. The solution features a global early warning service network encompassing multiple disaster types and intends to share China's experiences and technological achievements in early warning practices. The donation of an AI agent for urban multi-hazard early warning was also announced at the event.

Five Palestinians, including three children, were killed on Wednesday evening in an Israeli strike on the town of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian security and medical sources said.

A relative of one of the deceased children said a group of young people and children were sitting on the ground when the strike occurred, adding that a drone targeted them for no reason at all.

"A group of young people were sitting on the ground as usual, while Israel conducted a reconnaissance operation. Suddenly, they were targeted in a drone strike without any reason. Most of them were children. There were about five children. They were just sitting there peacefully," he said.

The health authorities in Gaza said that since the latest round of large-scale conflict between Palestine and Israel began on Oct. 7, 2023, Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip have killed 72,562 people and injured 172,320 others. And since the announcement of a ceasefire on Oct. 10, 2025, 786 Palestinians have been killed and 2,217 others injured by Israeli attacks.
