Several Chinese local governments are accelerating support for OpenClaw, an artificial intelligence agent project. Shenzhen's Longgang district AI and robotics agency released a draft proposal on Saturday offering subsidies of up to 2 million yuan (approximately US$290,000) for approved projects. Despite government enthusiasm, ongoing concerns about privacy and security risks remain unresolved.
China's Supreme People's Court President Zhang Jun stated at the National People's Congress that while the court handles AI-related cases carefully, it allows room for the country's artificial intelligence industry to innovate and learn from mistakes. In the court's annual work report, Zhang emphasized that Chinese courts promoted the orderly development of artificial intelligence last year, demonstrating a balance between regulation and industry growth.
During China's annual two sessions, representatives from the semiconductor sector urged the government to strengthen backing for artificial intelligence chips and critical materials. Industry leaders proposed leveraging China's advantages in strategic chip raw materials and accelerating the commercial deployment of AI chips to achieve core technology breakthroughs and enhance competitive capabilities.
