We Talk: US expert praises China's AI innovation

The 2026 World AI Conference (WAIC) and the Global High-Level Conference on AI Governance is being held in Shanghai, China, from July 17 to 20, with the theme "Intelligent Partners, Co-create the Future."

Vasant Dhar, a professor at the NYU Stern School of Business, shared his thoughts on AI development with CGTN in New York. Drawing on his research on AI algorithm theory, decision-making systems and governance frameworks, he discussed China's innovative achievements in the AI field and its current role on the global stage. He stated that China has already become a leader in electric vehicles, drones and humanoid robots. On the current trajectory of AI, Dhar said, "What's important is that we not lose our humanity in the process, that we start thinking with and working with the machine as opposed to having the machine do the thinking for us and make us less human."
