China highlights global AI cooperation in new int'l case collection

China on Thursday released a new edition of its annual collection of international artificial intelligence cooperation case studies, featuring 10 examples of China's AI cooperation with partners around the world.

Published for the third consecutive year by the National Development and Reform Commission together with relevant government agencies, the collection covers a wider range of countries and regions, showcases more diverse "AI Plus" application scenarios and places greater emphasis on people-centered, AI-for-good cooperation, presenting China's experience and solutions for global AI development.

One featured case focuses on the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, where Alibaba Cloud helped power a range of AI-driven services.

Based on the Qwen large language model, the International Olympic Committee launched its first official Olympic AI assistant, supporting Games operations in 119 languages while providing real-time information for officials, delegations and spectators.

AI technologies also transformed Olympic broadcasting with intelligent replay systems and immersive visual effects, making Winter Olympic events more accessible and engaging for audiences worldwide.

Another case highlights MAZU, an AI-powered meteorological early warning solution developed under the China Meteorological Administration.

Introduced in Djibouti in 2025, the system combines AI forecasting models, observations from China's Fengyun meteorological satellites and localized weather data to deliver earlier warnings for heat waves, strong winds and heavy rainfall.

The technology has strengthened weather services for ports and cities, helping improve disaster preparedness in the Horn of Africa. Following its deployment, the solution has also been introduced in countries including Pakistan, Ethiopia and the Solomon Islands.

The collection also features an AI-assisted cervical cancer screening system developed by Wuhan Landing Intelligence Medical Co., Ltd. Combining portable scanners, cloud computing and AI analysis, the technology enables rapid pathological screening even in areas lacking specialist doctors.

Already deployed in 12 countries, including Pakistan, Brazil, Ghana, Vietnam and Cambodia, the system has provided screening services to more than 13 million women, improving access to early diagnosis while helping reduce public healthcare costs.

The remaining seven cases demonstrate the expanding role of Chinese AI across a broad range of sectors. They include AI-enabled Earth science exploration, smart farming for Brazilian family farms, autonomous driving in the United Arab Emirates, low-carbon telecommunications in Indonesia, AI applications for Malaysia's rubber industry, intelligent power grid management in Chile and marine biopharmaceutical research jointly conducted by China and Egypt.

Together, the projects illustrate how international AI cooperation is supporting scientific innovation, industrial development and public well-being across different regions of the world.
