Burundi's mainstream media, the Xinsheng Daily, recently published the signed article "From Shanghai to Africa: Opening a New Chapter of China Africa Artificial Intelligence Cooperation" written by Bu's young sinologist Bankuweiha. The article states that the current global iteration of artificial intelligence technology continues to accelerate. With the deepening of cooperation between China and Africa in artificial intelligence, China and Africa will join hands to break monopolies through openness, eliminate injustice through inclusiveness, and build a new order through multilateralism. This will undoubtedly inject a continuous stream of global Southern forces into the construction of a fair and reasonable global artificial intelligence governance system, and jointly write a new chapter in history. The article summary is as follows:

Currently, there are two different paths in the development of artificial intelligence worldwide. The development path of artificial intelligence led by Western tech giants often comes with high commercial barriers, further exacerbating the global digital divide. On the other hand, China advocates for openness, win-win cooperation, and open source for all, viewing artificial intelligence as a global public good rather than a tool of hegemony, demonstrating great power responsibility.

China's inclusive technology and the policies and innovative projects advocated by the African Union complement each other deeply, assisting multiple African countries in transforming open-source artificial intelligence into social productivity. This inclusive logic of 'delivering technology to users' has broken down the barriers of technological monopoly and written a pragmatic chapter in China Africa digital cooperation. In strategic alignment, there is a synergy between Chinese technology and African demand. In response to the "data desert" dilemma faced by over 50 major indigenous languages in Africa in Western models, China's open-source ecosystem provides a cornerstone for African developers to regulate and adapt; African agriculture urgently needs to use artificial intelligence to achieve accurate pest and disease warning and yield prediction. China has promoted the implementation and application of the meteorological intelligent warning program "Mazu" in 30 countries... China's pragmatic measures directly benefit grassroots needs in Africa.

In the global governance of artificial intelligence, China has always practiced true multilateralism. Among the 29 founding members of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization recently established in Shanghai, 10 are from Africa. China and Africa are working together to bring global artificial intelligence governance into a new era of multilateralism. At the 2026 World Conference on Artificial Intelligence and the High Level Conference on Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence, China proposed to provide 5000 AI themed training places for developing countries in the next five years... Africa has seen through this grand event that artificial intelligence is not the exclusive game of a few developed countries.
