Introduction
In February 2026, the AI Impact Summit — the first international AI summit ever hosted in the Global South — was held in New Delhi, India. Amid the twin challenges of technological monopolies and the digital divide, how do Global South countries view AI? How can their pursuit of sovereign AI be prevented from devolving into technological protectionism? And what role does China play in global cooperation on AI governance?
Hosted by Xiao Qian, Deputy Director of CISS and Vice President of the Institute for AI International Governance at Tsinghua University, this podcast features Jiang Tianjiao, Associate Professor of Fudan Development Institute and Research Fellow of the Center for Global AI Innovative Governance (CGAIG), Fudan University. Together, they explore an in-depth analysis of the India AI Impact Summit and the new landscape of global AI cooperation and governance it has ushered in.
