Why It Matters
The Cyberspace Administration of China proposed a smart Internet innovation and development cooperation initiative at the 2026 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit.
China News Service, November 4. According to China Netcom, the smart Internet is a new cyberspace in which artificial intelligence and the Internet are deeply integrated. It is profoundly changing the Internet's technical architecture, infrastructure, application ecology, industrial system and governance model.
The Cyberspace Administration of China, together with relevant parties, proposed the "Intelligent Internet Innovation and Development Cooperation Initiative" at the Wuzhen Summit of the World Internet Conference in 2026. It is willing to work with all parties to adhere to the principles of people-oriented and intelligence for good, and work together to build an intelligent Internet that is intelligently native, open and innovative, safe and trustworthy, and inclusive and shared, so that technological innovation achievements can be effectively transformed into the common welfare of people of all countries, and contribute wisdom and strength to building a community of a shared future in cyberspace. To this end, the Cyberspace Administration of China proposes:
1. Deepen technological innovation and drive network evolution. Encourage increased investment in research and development of key common technologies such as new network communication theory, intelligent native network architecture, new transmission protocols, and computing network integration, promote the expansion of the Internet from "connecting people and information" to "connecting agents and intelligent services", improve the level of network intelligence, enable intelligent services to reach end users more efficiently, and lay the technical foundation for large-scale deployment of intelligent Internet.
2. Build infrastructure together to ensure smooth ubiquitous interconnection. Work together to promote the coordinated deployment and interconnection of new information infrastructure such as IPv6, 5G-A/6G, satellite Internet, and intelligent computing power, build a full-area coverage, open and shared connection system, lower access thresholds, and ensure that countries and regions at different stages of development can obtain accessible and affordable intelligent connectivity capabilities.
3. Promote intelligence collaboration and improve the mutual trust mechanism. Jointly develop open, non-discriminatory, and transparent international standards for agent interoperability, promote compatibility and mutual recognition of interfaces, interconnection protocols, semantics, and process layers, promote the development of multi-agents from tool-based interaction to trusted collaboration, and establish a mutual trust framework covering the entire life cycle of agent discovery, negotiation, and execution, so that cross-platform and cross-domain agent collaboration has a verifiable and traceable institutional basis.
4. Expand application scenarios and prosper the industrial ecology. Promote the iterative innovation of new smart terminals such as artificial intelligence mobile phones, humanoid robots, and embodied intelligence, promote the three-dimensional integration and collaborative interaction of humans, machines, and objects, cultivate new business formats such as smart native applications, model-as-a-service, and agent-as-a-service, and encourage the development results of the smart Internet to serve diverse scenarios such as scientific research, industrial manufacturing, people's livelihood services, and social governance, forming a virtuous cycle of technological evolution, application expansion, and industrial prosperity.
5. Promote data circulation and release data value. On the basis of respecting the institutional differences of different countries and regions, adhering to the principles of openness, inclusiveness, security, cooperation and non-discrimination, we will promote the construction of an efficient, convenient and secure cross-border data flow mechanism, support the promotion of open sharing and development and utilization of high-quality data resources under the premise of security and compliance, and fully release the value of data elements in the development of the intelligent Internet.
6. Work together to build a line of security and prevent and control new risks. Attach great importance to the new security challenges brought by artificial intelligence, promote the application of artificial intelligence in the field of network security, build network endogenous security capabilities, jointly prevent new security risks such as data poisoning and out-of-control agent behavior, embed security and ethical considerations into the entire process of intelligent Internet R&D, deployment, and operation and maintenance, promote risk information sharing and emergency collaboration, and improve the security, reliability, and resilience of the intelligent Internet.
7. Improve digital literacy and bridge the intelligence gap. Encourage all parties to incorporate digital literacy and skills into the education and training system, especially to promote the improvement of artificial intelligence literacy among all people, support skills training and educational resource sharing for developing countries, remote areas and disadvantaged groups, so that the dividends of intelligent Internet development can benefit all types of entities more and more equitably.
