China joins call for more AI control

Expresso14 September 2026 at 14:06

China has joined the international call for greater control of artificial intelligence, at a time when the debate about regulating this technology has been gaining momentum globally. The Beijing government argues that stricter measures are needed to manage the risks associated with the accelerated development of AI.

Researchers have been issuing warnings about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence, alerting to issues of security, ethics, and social impact. At the same time, several companies in the sector have been making calls for a slowdown in the development of this technology.

The most prominent figures in the artificial intelligence sector have been at the center of attention in recent days, with their positions being scrutinized by governments and the global public opinion.

Meanwhile, the United States, under the leadership of Donald Trump, continues to defend maintaining American leadership in the development of artificial intelligence, resisting pressures to implement stricter controls.

Why this matters

This development directly affects technology companies and policymakers in Portugal and Europe, who now face pressure from two superpowers to participate in a global debate about AI regulation. China's position can influence future European legislation and create new challenges for companies operating in both markets.
