๐ 29 Nations Just Founded a Global AI Cooperation Body at the Shanghai World AI Conference

The closing session saw 29 founding countries sign on to the new World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization, an intergovernmental body aimed at cross-border AI governance. Think of it as the early bones of a UN for AI. Will this actually have teeth, or end up another toothless talking shop?
