China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Laos will jointly establish the China-Laos Artificial Intelligence (AI) Innovation Cooperation Center.

This is the first AI cooperation and innovation platform signed between China and ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries, aimed at systematically enhancing Laos’ foundational capabilities in the intelligent era and empowering the development of various sectors in the Southeast Asian country.

Moving forward, Guangxi will take this cooperation center as a starting point to jointly establish China-ASEAN AI innovation cooperation centers with ASEAN countries, help ASEAN countries build an independent and controllable AI sovereignty model, promote cooperation between China and ASEAN in fields such as AI, cross-border data, talent training, and others. The initiative aims to advance the implementation and innovation of AI technology, support the digital preservation of ASEAN languages and cultures, enhance intelligence levels and social welfare, and promote the development of AI for the greater good, benefiting all of humanity.
