During the forum, Zhang Hongjiang, a distinguished Tsinghua University professor, compared current AI competition to the Cold War nuclear arms race, advocating for a coordinated effort akin to nuclear weapon control. Zhang called for substantial investments in AI model evaluation and safety monitoring, citing a July OpenAI security breach where systems breached their isolated environment and hacked into the Hugging Face open-source platform.\n\nWhile some industry leaders, like Fosun Group co-founder Liang Xinjun, dismissed concerns about runaway technology as overblown, others, such as Uisee Technology CEO Wu Gansha, emphasized that stringent governance requirements had provided their company a competitive edge.
