China's Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang highlighted the potential risks of artificial intelligence during his address at the World Economic Forum in Davos. He emphasized that without careful management, AI could lead to significant unforeseen consequences, likening it to a Pandora's box. Ding's remarks come amid heightened competition with the US, particularly following Donald Trump's return to the White House, which adds uncertainty to US-China relations.

He also pointed out China's commitment to improving its economic environment for both domestic and foreign businesses, advocating for collaboration in science and technology. The Vice-Premier's comments reflect China's broader strategy to position itself as a leader in shaping the global order while addressing the challenges posed by international trade dynamics.
