Huawei’s Xu says Chinese AI not powerful enough yet to see frontier risks

Huawei’s Eric Xu said Chinese AI developers may not yet be advanced enough to experience the safety risks reported by leading US firms, arguing they should continue developing more powerful models while balancing innovation against risk.

“If we look at the mainstream AI model providers in the United States, because they have massive computing power, maybe only they themselves know where they are in terms of the level of their models,” Xu, Huawei’s rotating chairman, told reporters at the company’s annual Connect conference in Shanghai.
