World Economic Forum President: China has the potential to lead globally in these areas.

The World Economic Forum annual meeting in 2026 opened in Davos, Switzerland on January 19th local time. Prior to this, the President of the World Economic Forum, Brend, gave an exclusive interview to CCTV's "High-end Interview". When discussing how to view the progress made by China in the field of artificial intelligence, Brendt stated that China has chosen the open source route, while some large companies in the United States have taken a different path. He believes that China has made great progress in these areas. He believes that artificial intelligence will also drive people to achieve long-awaited major breakthroughs in the scientific field. For example, in the field of medicine, a study often takes up to 20 years, requiring long-term collection of information, data analysis, and summary. For example, in cancer research, artificial intelligence may shorten the original 20-year process to 5 years. This will greatly reduce the burden on scientists and accelerate the development speed of drugs and other related outcomes. He believes that in the future, China will also lead the world in the field of pharmaceuticals like electric vehicles. Artificial intelligence is bringing breakthrough opportunities, whose potential is profound and requires people to fully unleash their imagination in order to understand it.
