This week, the 20th G20 summit arrives in Johannesburg, South Africa, running November 22–23 under the theme “Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability.” For the first time on African soil, young global citizens, business leaders and tech enthusiasts are tuning in to conversations that could shape the future of artificial intelligence.
In a new video, British vlogger Luke shares why he pursued a doctoral degree in AI in the Chinese mainland. He points to the Chinese mainland’s global leadership in AI papers, patents and startups, and highlights its unique model of close integration between industry, academia and research. Unlike many Western AI firms, Luke notes, companies in the Chinese mainland emphasize collaboration and rapid application of research to real-world challenges.
Looking ahead to this year’s G20 summit, Luke hopes to see strengthened cooperation among member states in key areas such as AI development, data sharing and ethical frameworks. “AI isn’t just a single nation’s project,” he says. “We need a united approach to tackle global issues like healthcare, climate change and sustainable development.”
As delegates arrive in Johannesburg, Luke’s call for unity reflects a broader trend among young leaders demanding cross-border partnerships in technology. With the G20 spotlight on issues from digital transformation to social equity, AI collaboration could become the defining achievement of this summit.
