Global Times| July, 2026  

China will host the 2026 World AI Conference (WAIC) and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in Shanghai from July 17-20, Chinese officials announced at a press briefing in Shanghai on Tuesday. The conference is set to be an important platform to showcase the world's most cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology and China's homegrown innovations, ranging from large language models (LLMs), AI agents to industrial open-source ecosystems, while also fostering global cooperation on key issues such as AI safety, global governance and bridging AI divides, observers said.

中国官员在周二于上海举行的新闻发布会上宣布，2026世界人工智能大会暨全球人工智能治理高级别会议将于7月17日至20日在上海举行。观察人士指出，本届大会将成为展示全球最前沿人工智能技术与中国自主创新的重要平台，覆盖从大语言模型、AI智能体到工业开源生态等广泛领域，同时推动AI安全、全球治理和弥合智能鸿沟等关键议题上的国际合作。

The event, themed "Intelligent partners, co-creating the future," will consist of six major segments: forums and conferences, exhibitions and displays, awards and competitions, application experiences, innovation incubation and talent recruitment.

本届大会以“智能伙伴，共创未来”为主题，设置论坛会议、展览展示、评奖赛事、应用体验、创新孵化和人才招聘六大板块。

Total exhibition area will exceed 100,000 square meters for the first time, with more than 1,100 enterprises participating and over 3,000 exhibits on display. Among them, more than 300 products will make their global debut, and more than 200 companies will gather in each of the two major tracks - intelligent computing and embodied intelligence.

大会展览面积将首次突破10万平方米，参展企业超过1100家，展出展品逾3000项。其中，全球首发产品超过300款，智能算力和具身智能两大核心赛道各自汇聚了超过200家企业。

The conference has already facilitated the implementation of 57 major application scenarios, with a total of 16.2 billion yuan in intended cooperation agreements reached.

大会已促成57个重大应用场景落地，达成意向合作总金额162亿元人民币。

Tang Wenkan, director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization, said at the press briefing that multiple innovative AI products will debut at the conference, including the industry's largest-scale super node, the Huawei Atlas 950 physical unit, the MiniMax M3 multimodal large model, the Jieyue Agent Operating System, near-memory computing 3D chips and the world's first AI Agent smartphone, as well as humanoid robots, AI dexterous hands and other innovative gadgets.

上海市经济信息化委主任唐文侃在发布会上表示，多款创新AI产品将在大会上首发，包括行业最大规模的超节点、华为Atlas 950物理单元、MiniMax M3多模态大模型、阶跃智能体操作系统（Jieyue Agent Operating System）、近存计算3D芯片和全球首款AI智能体手机，以及人形机器人、AI灵巧手等创新产品。

"It will be a global benchmark event that sets the tone for the global AI trend," Wang Peng, an associate researcher at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Tuesday.

北京市社会科学院副研究员王鹏周二对《环球时报》表示：“这将是一场为全球人工智能趋势定调的标杆性盛会。”

He said that as Chinese tech companies have become global leaders in the AI industrial chain, spanning such sectors as LLMs and robotics, the conference will serve as a vital platform to showcase China's homegrown innovations and technological breakthroughs.

他说，随着中国科技企业在大模型、机器人等AI产业链中跻身全球引领者行列，本届大会将成为展示中国自主创新与技术突破的重要舞台。

Liu Wei, director of the Human-Machine Interaction and Cognitive Engineering Laboratory at the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, told the Global Times on Tuesday that he expects the conference to serve as a key platform providing capital and real-world application scenarios to fast-track the industrial adoption of advanced AI technologies and large-scale production of humanoid robots, "thereby boosting the real economy and fostering new quality productive forces."

北京邮电大学人机交互与认知工程实验室主任刘伟周二在接受《环球时报》采访时表示，他期待大会能够成为提供资本和真实应用场景的关键平台，加速先进AI技术的产业化落地和人形机器人的规模化生产，“从而提振实体经济，培育新质生产力”。

Gan Xiaobin, an official from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at the press briefing that the annual production of humanoid robots in China is expected to reach 100,000 units this year, and that humanoid robots have been increasingly making their way into factories and workshops. 

Meanwhile, as manufacturing has become the primary "battlefield" for AI-empowered applications, the adoption rate of AI among China's large-scale industrial enterprises has surpassed 30 percent, Gan noted.

工业和信息化部官员甘晓斌在发布会上透露，今年中国人形机器人年产量预计将达到10万台，人形机器人正越来越多地走进工厂和车间。他指出，制造业已成为AI赋能应用的“主战场”，目前中国规模以上工业企业的AI应用率已超过30%。

Taking account of the strong momentum in AI-powered smart terminals, it is expected that sales of AI smartphones and personal computers would surpass non-AI phones and computers for the first time in 2026, Wang Ruomeng, an official of China's National Development and Reform Commission, the country's top economic planner, said at the press briefing.

国家发展改革委官员王若蒙在发布会上表示，考虑到AI智能终端的强劲发展势头，预计2026年AI智能手机和AI个人电脑的销量将首次超越非AI手机和电脑。

China's annual shipments of AI-powered smart terminals, including smartphones and PCs, exceeded 100 million units last year.

去年，中国AI智能终端（含智能手机和PC）的年出货量已突破1亿台。

Sun Xiaobo, coordinator for AI affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, disclosed at the press briefing that this year, dozens of countries and international organizations are expected to send high-level representatives to the conference. During the High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance, global participants will engage in in-depth discussions and exchange views on cutting-edge AI tech development and smarter governance.

外交部人工智能事务协调人孙晓波在发布会上披露，今年预计将有数十个国家和国际组织派高级别代表参会。在全球人工智能治理高级别会议期间，各国与会者将就前沿AI技术发展和更智能化的治理展开深入讨论并交换意见。

"It is expected that international exchanges will focus on critical topics such as global AI governance and security, underlying standards for world models and AI agents, bridging the global digital intelligence gap, fair trade within the AI industrial chain, and the development of norms for the humanoid robotics and digital asset sectors," Liu said.

刘伟指出：“预计国际交流将聚焦全球AI治理与安全、世界模型和AI智能体的底层标准、弥合全球数智鸿沟、AI产业链的公平贸易，以及人形机器人和数字资产领域的规范制定等关键议题。”

He pointed out that unlike some Western countries, China has pursued a distinctive homegrown approach to open-source development, which has significantly strengthened its domestic AI capabilities. This open and collaborative model not only accelerates China's AI progress but also contributes to the sustained growth of the global digital and intelligent economy, particular for developing countries.

他进一步表示，与一些西方国家不同，中国走出了一条独具特色的自主开源发展道路，极大地增强了自身AI能力。这种开放协作的模式不仅加速了中国AI的进步，也有力推动了全球数智经济持续增长，尤其是为发展中国家带来了发展机遇。
