Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to outline the state's policy stance on artificial intelligence at his first attendance at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, a spokesperson for the foreign ministry confirmed during a press conference on Monday.
The event comes as Beijing prepares for Xi's meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump for their first government-level discussion on AI, with both sides showcasing their visions for AI technology at a UN AI dialogue last week, Reuters reported Thursday.
Meanwhile, Huawei will debut its flagship supernode Atlas 950 SuperPoD at the WAIC this week, Yicai Global reported Wednesday, citing a company announcement.
Atlas 950 is powered by a 1024-card supernode with 1 EFLOPS FP8 computing power, the biggest in the industry, and 256 terabytes of storage space, the report said.
