In an interview with China.org.cn, Ndiaye praised China’s open approach to global AI development and governance, noting that it would create new opportunities for AI development across the Global South. The following transcript has been compiled by the Center for Global AI Innovative Governance (CGAIG) based on China.org.cn’s coverage:
It is a great opportunity for the global south and especially for Africa to arm this kind of cooperation with China. China is one of the countries involved in the Global Network of Centers for Exchange and Cooperation on AI Capacity Building. We launched it this month in Geneva, and having this kind of offer is something very great for capacity building. The openness of China is greatly appreciated by the global south and it’s a shared value with the UN where we are fighting for openness, for equality and for sharing human right.
This month we had the first global dialogue on AI governance and I think that it is the best way to bring countries together around the same table to talk about the AI governance and the future of AI. Try to tackle towards the risks and to improve the capacity of each countries to benefit from the opportunities come with AI. I think that it is a good thing from this dialogue and I think that with WAICO, it would be a good way to do so.
