At the 2025 China Shanghai Cooperation Organization Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Forum held in Tianjin, China and SCO member states showcased their cooperation achievements in the field of artificial intelligence, including intelligent cleaning of every corner with "long eyes" swimming pool robots, safe and stable transportation of large wind turbine blades with heavy-duty robots, and digital high-end medical imaging examinations to improve diagnosis and treatment levels. Nowadays, artificial intelligence cooperation is becoming an important driving force for China and SCO countries to promote economic development, deepen connectivity, and improve people's livelihoods, providing vivid examples for the construction of a more fair, open, and inclusive artificial intelligence cooperation model for countries in the global South. From smart scenarios to institutional cooperation, from youth exchanges to co creating the future, China's cooperation with SCO member states in the field of artificial intelligence is showing vigorous vitality. With the continuous improvement of mechanisms, expansion of applications, and deepening of trust, artificial intelligence will play a more important role in promoting regional prosperity and mutual learning among civilizations. The practical implementation of intelligent technology cooperation is one of the important characteristics of the SCO's artificial intelligence cooperation. In cooperation, scenario driven technology and demand driven innovation. ”In recent years, a number of AI scenario based applications based on Chinese technology are injecting new vitality into the production activities of SCO member states: from Tajikistan's smart mining areas to Uzbekistan's photovoltaic operation and maintenance robots; From Russia's agricultural intelligent navigation system to Pakistan's urban intelligent security platform, China and SCO countries are jointly building projects to widely embed artificial intelligence achievements into social development practices. In the "China Pakistan Intelligent System Laboratory" jointly built by Islamabad and Guangzhou, the Chinese team and Pakistani researchers have jointly developed a license plate recognition and intelligent monitoring system suitable for local urban management, and conducted pilot projects in multiple cities. Chinese leader Wu Jun stated that cooperation is guided by local needs, focuses on practical results, and steadily advances. We don't need to start from scratch. China's technology enables us to build smart cities faster and better. ”The head of the Pakistani laboratory, Ximab Latif, said. In the Russian Far East, the agricultural machinery automatic navigation system promoted by Nongxin Technology has been applied to large-scale agricultural operations, greatly improving agricultural efficiency. In Samarkand, Uzbekistan, Dongfang Electric's AI photovoltaic cleaning robot operates around the clock to ensure efficient output of green electricity. Practical implementation is one of the important characteristics of the SCO's artificial intelligence cooperation. In cooperation, scenario driven technology and demand driven innovation. ”Xiao Bin, Deputy Secretary General and Researcher of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said. Xiao Bin emphasized that in the context of the intensifying differentiation of the global technology camp, the AI cooperation of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has demonstrated a new pattern of "development centered and collaboration supported", providing a realistic path and cooperation sample for promoting more inclusive and balanced technological globalization. Intelligent sharing helps promote digital inclusiveness. "Inclusiveness is not only about sharing technology, but also about restructuring systems and resources. ”China attaches great importance to the inclusive application and collaborative construction of artificial intelligence. In recent years, more and more Chinese AI companies have chosen to serve SCO countries through open source platforms, low threshold technologies, local training, and other means, helping member countries narrow the digital gap and enhance their autonomy. We are using Chinese companies' open-source big language models to develop our own language AI system, greatly narrowing the technological gap with developed countries. ”Azat Ibraimov, an official from the Office of the President of Kyrgyzstan, said. He hopes to develop his own AI education system and data governance capabilities with the assistance of China in the future. Xiao Bin stated that Chinese companies promoting open source cooperation is the key to "de threshold" artificial intelligence cooperation. China is not just selling products, but exporting capabilities and building mechanisms. Through open source sharing, knowledge transfer, and local joint research and development, it has truly opened up the 'last mile' of AI applications for developing countries. ”In practical applications, Kazakhstan has introduced Chinese intelligent underwater robots and promoted them in large quantities in civilian scenarios such as swimming pools with the help of infrared ultrasonic integrated sensing and path planning technology. Tajikistan, Bangladesh and other countries are gradually applying Chinese AI technology to fields such as agriculture, water resources, transportation and urban services. In order to promote institutionalized cooperation, the 2025 China Shanghai Cooperation Organization Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Forum proposed four initiatives: "strengthening policy communication," "deepening technology cooperation," "promoting application empowerment," and "strengthening security governance." The "China Shanghai Cooperation Organization Countries Artificial Intelligence Application Cooperation Center Construction Plan" was released, and an invitation for joint construction was issued to actively promote open cooperation and the sharing of scientific and technological achievements. Universal access is not only about sharing technology, but also about restructuring systems and resources. ”Associate Professor Zhang Xiaohui from the School of Urban Economics and Public Management at Capital University of Economics and Business pointed out that building a truly fair and sustainable AI cooperation ecosystem requires the organic combination of open source sharing, knowledge dissemination, and institutional openness, achieving a leap from 'technology adaptation' to 'system construction'. The AI cooperation of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization may achieve key breakthroughs in four aspects: first, jointly building regional smart platforms; Secondly, create exemplary projects; Thirdly, promote a joint governance system; Fourth, strengthen responsibility oriented development. ”As the largest and most populous regional organization in the world, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is elevating artificial intelligence cooperation to an important pillar for promoting economic growth and social progress. Artificial intelligence is one of the key areas of cooperation for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. We are exploring cooperation in multiple fields such as transportation, education, and healthcare. ”Oleg Kopelov, Deputy Secretary General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, stated that member states are currently reaching more consensus in areas such as AI policy dialogue, technical standards, and scenario construction. Zhang Xiaohui believes that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is reshaping the regional development pattern through artificial intelligence cooperation. What we need to do is not only technological collaboration, but also the reshaping of mechanisms, institutional construction, and deepening of value consensus. Taking the cultivation of young talents as an example, China and Central Asian countries continue to promote multilateral talent exchange projects. At the "Bridge of the Future" China Central Asia Youth Leaders Training Camp, young representatives from five countries visited China's AI industrial parks to deeply understand the latest developments in language models, intelligent manufacturing, data modeling and other fields. We hope to establish our own artificial intelligence industry system with the support of China. ”Feruzqiong from Tajikistan stated that they plan to introduce Chinese AI experience in fields such as education and transportation, and gradually build their own digital development architecture. Looking ahead to the future, Xiao Bin believes that the artificial intelligence cooperation of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization may achieve key breakthroughs in four aspects: first, jointly building regional smart platforms: developing regional models around local languages and data resources; Secondly, creating exemplary projects: creating replicable and promotable model projects in fields such as education, healthcare, and agriculture; Thirdly, promote a joint governance system: establish cross-border data standards, ethical norms, and collaborative security mechanisms; Fourth, strengthen responsibility oriented development: ensure that artificial intelligence operates in a positive, safe, and fair manner in regional development. The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission of China stated that China is willing to work with the member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to jointly build a more inclusive and responsible new pattern of artificial intelligence development.
