China's smart city development is globally leading, and AI governance challenges have become an international consensus.

Overseas media: China takes the lead in global smart cities, but AI governance problems are faced by all countries

In Nanjing, China, every night at midnight, drone teams patrol key areas such as subway entrances and riversides. By using artificial intelligence to plan routes, they cover blind spots that human patrols cannot reach. Nanjing's approach reflects China's efforts to widely apply AI in urban management, aiming to address complex challenges brought about by dense urban populations and rapid urbanization.

Despite significant progress, analysts point out that China still faces issues such as data privacy protection and low community engagement, which are challenges that exist globally.
