In that space, Venezuela reaffirmed its commitment to an ethical, just AI at the service of peoples.

The agenda also included an important meeting with authorities from the government of the Shanghai Municipality, and with Dr. Xu Feng, Secretary of the Party Committee of the City's Science and Technology Commission, to explore future alliances in biomedicine and information and communication technologies (ICT).
