HONG KONG, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The 3rd GTI Forum on Digital Intelligence • Hong Kong, themed "Openness, Sharing, Cooperation - Advancing AI Development", was held in Hong Kong, China on September 8.
Gao Tongqing, Chairman of GTI, stated that GTI continues to strengthen global cooperation, foster open exchange and build consensus on development priorities. Working alongside international organizations, regulators, universities and research institutions, GTI deepens cross-domain and cross-regional collaboration, advances in-depth integration of industry, academia and research worldwide, and promotes "network-intelligence integrated innovation for inclusive AI empowerment" as a global consensus. GTI deepens collaborative innovation to address key industry challenges: it has established eight open laboratories across Asia, Europe and North America, built a 6G open testbed, launched a global open innovation challenge with GSMA, and released over 50 white papers and research reports, providing practical guidance for the global industry to tackle common challenges. To contribute development insights and bridge the digital-intelligence divide, GTI put forward the Mobile Intelligence Integration Index (MI³), released the Mobile AI White Paper and the AI Security Governance Initiative, and advances the secure, trustworthy, inclusive and accessible development of AI. Globally, AI is advancing at an accelerated pace, with three core pillars—technological innovation, industrial application and governance practice—continuing to deepen. For this new stage of AI development, he put forward three proposals on behalf of GTI:First, jointly advance technological innovation to consolidate the foundation of AI development. GTI will rally global innovation forces across industry, academia, research and application, leverage its open laboratories and testbeds to carry out diverse cooperation such as international joint R&D and global open innovation challenges, and jointly overcome key common technical bottlenecks.Second, jointly expand application scenarios to unlock AI's value potential. Adhering to a demand-driven approach, GTI will continue to identify high-value application scenarios across industries, promote in-depth integration of AI with sectors including healthcare, transportation, education and energy, and empower key links such as R&D, design and manufacturing.Third, jointly promote trustworthy governance to steer AI toward good. Upholding a people-centered and responsible AI philosophy, GTI will deepen international dialogue and cooperation in areas such as AI standards, security and governance.
