OUT OF THE ROBOT CLASSROOM: CHINA’S EMBODIED AI TAKES ON REAL-WORLD JOBS
Thirty robots made up the first class at a robot school in Hangzhou, east China’s Zhejiang Province. After more than two months of training, four have graduated and landed formal jobs.
THE LONG MARCH REVISITED
When the idea of the new Long March experience was first presented to me, I was enthusiastic. From early June through late July, we would spend six weeks following part of the route of the original Long March (1934-36) in honor of the journey’s conclusion 90 years ago this October.
The Long March was one of the seminal historical events of the 20th century. It had a transformative impact on the history of modern China.
WHY EU-CHINA MUST TEAM UP ON AI GOVERNANCE
At the World Intelligence Expo 2026 in Tianjin, I emphasized in my speech the principle that should guide every conversation about artificial intelligence (AI) today, namely without transparent, responsible, and ethical governance frameworks, the transformative potential of AI would be undermined by fragmentation and mistrust. The world now stands at a crossroads. A unified global AI governance framework remains elusive, so the question is no longer whether the EU and China should cooperate, but where and how they can do so most effectively.
