On the morning of March 26, at the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) 2025 Annual Conference, Jeffrey Sachs, a professor at Columbia University in the United States, evaluated China's development achievements in the field of artificial intelligence since last year.
"It did it in an extremely clever way as open source. Now, China is becoming the basis of worldwide open-source AI."
Jeffrey is a renowned American economist and public policy expert, known for his work on sustainable development, economic growth, and global poverty reduction. He highlighted that the innovative achievements of Chinese AI models, especially DeepSeek, represent a major global breakthrough. The emergence of these technologies has shifted the AI industry, which is no longer solely in the hands of a few tech giants like Microsoft, Meta and OpenAI.
The BFA Annual Conference kicked off in South China's Hainan Province on March 25. Nearly 2,000 representatives from over 60 countries and regions are attending the four-day event.
