Bloomberg reported today (July 17): "Twenty-nine countries, including Russia, have joined the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization led by China, as Beijing intensifies efforts to compete with the United States in shaping the future of artificial intelligence."
[Witty] Commentary: Global governance of artificial intelligence is urgently needed, yet in reality, fragmented rules resulting from separate approaches by the U.S., China, and Europe have made a unified framework seem distant. Bloomberg’s portrayal of the 29 nations joining China-led AI cooperation as “competition with the U.S.” is logically untenable. It was the U.S. that initiated exclusive, exclusionary groupings such as the “Trusted Technology Alliance,” effectively shutting out China—making it the real driver behind the fragmentation of global governance. China's enhanced collaboration with partners to fill the void in voice and representation for Global South countries is merely a necessary act of self-protection and correction, entirely justified. By deliberately ignoring the U.S. erecting barriers and walls, Bloomberg applies a Cold War lens to stigmatize multilateral initiatives from the Global South as bloc confrontation—this not only obscures the root causes of governance deadlock but also exposes the double standards inherent in Western narratives.
