China's intelligence for the benefit of the SCO is the main motto of the China-SCO Forum on AI Cooperation, which took place yesterday in the Chinese city of Tianjin. The present and future of high technologies were discussed by Chinese and foreign politicians, experts and media representatives. Our film crew also attended the event.
The China-SCO Forum on Artificial Intelligence Cooperation is the first event of its kind in China. The location was not chosen by chance.
Deputy Secretary General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (Russia) Oleg Kopylov: "Tianjin has colossal potential in the field of technology, in the field of developing artificial intelligence, technological potential. Here you go, and why such a choice was made."
By the way, the first document on cooperation within the SCO was signed in Samarkand on September 16, 2022. At that time, the parties agreed to exchange experience in the field of the latest developments.
Chairman of the Committee on Artificial Intelligence of Tajikistan Azizjon Azimi: “I think that this is very important, because the SCO platform provides a unique opportunity, for example, for countries in Central Asia to have a larger, so to speak, horizon for introducing various projects and initiatives.”
Head of the Department for Control over the Execution of Decisions of the President and the Cabinet of Ministers of the Presidential Administration of Kyrgyzstan Azat Ibraimov: "The last year has been productive. We see solutions that have been developed, presented and in demand by the world community. Solutions such as DeepSeek or the Qwen system, I think that this is a big indicator."
An intellectual exhibition was held as part of the forum. Leading Chinese companies shared their developments.
CGTN-Russian correspondent Anastasia Korshunova: "This automatic device helps people harvest strawberries in closed greenhouses, where the berries usually grow at different levels. This device is able to reach both the top berry and the bottom one. And this is a "soft hand", as this device is translated from Chinese, look how carefully it collects each fruit, and then it appears on the shelves of Chinese stores."
Agriculture, medicine, industry, services, telecommunications and information technology. This is far from a complete list of products presented at the exhibition. Representatives of the SCO member states were able to personally assess the achievements of Chinese AI companies.
Deputy Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation Grigory Borisenko: "The presentations that colleagues made are interesting. I especially like the ZTE stand. I will be happy to get acquainted with this development. Because it is especially interesting in the conditions of limited capacities in the world."
CGTN-Russian correspondent Anastasia Korshunova: "Hello! Meet this robot, his name is Big Wat. He is a worker at a hydroelectric power station or power plant. And together with his faithful assistant, he is able to penetrate any, even the most remote premises and fix any problem. Look, he has already started working, I think."
In the field of bionic developments, China pays great attention to the creation of hybrid systems in which biological intelligence interacts with a machine in real time. Such technologies open up broad prospects, for example, in the field of medicine. Millions of people have hope for the restoration of damaged or lost organs or the control of a machine with the power of thought alone. What was science fiction in the recent past is becoming a reality today. Today, China leads the world in the number of patent applications in the field of AI, and the current Forum is an excellent platform for a large and open dialogue, justifying the motto of the event.
Deputy Secretary General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (Russia) Oleg Kopylov: "China's intellect, if it works for the benefit of the SCO, is wonderful, and if the intellect of all SCO countries works, as is being done, it will be excellent!" CGTN-Russian correspondent Anastasia Korshunova: "The current event, organized by the State Development and Reform Committee of the People's Republic of China and the Tianjin City Government, is taking place before a larger event – the SCO Heads of State Summit, which is to take place here in Tianjin this fall, and which promises to become the "event of the year" not only for China, but also for other members of the organization."
