The Center for Global AI Innovative Governance was inaugurated at the opening ceremony of the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference. Building on Fudan University’s strengths in global AI governance, interdisciplinary research, and extensive partnerships the Center advances its mission through international forums, thematic workshops, and collaborative research initiatives. The Center is committed to fostering talent development, youth exchanges, educational and training programs, AI4S initiatives, and the translation of academic research into practical applications. Its overarching objective is to establish a collaborative platform that connects Shanghai, China, and the global community in AI governance and industry–academia–research cooperation. Through this platform, the Center seeks to promote rule-making, strengthen governance capacity, and contribute to the creation of a globally recognized framework, normative standards and related action guidelines based on broad consensus.
