Xi Unveils World AI Cooperation Organisation as KLAS Quantifies Epic AI Gains for Clinicians
Chinese President Xi Jinping announced the creation of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organisation (WAICO) at the 2026 World AI Conference in Shanghai, calling for a just and equitable system for global AI governance, according to UrduPoint. Twenty-nine countries signed on as founding members of the Shanghai-headquartered body, and Xi pledged that China will provide developing countries with 5,000 AI training and seminar opportunities over the next five years; the report notes China's core AI industries were worth over 1.2 trillion yuan (about US$176.6 billion) in 2025, with more than 6,200 AI enterprises nationwide.
Healthcare got hard numbers on AI adoption from the KLAS Arch Collaborative 2026 report covered by HIT Consultant: clinicians using AI tools report a Net EHR Experience Score of 72.2 versus 64.9 for non-users, but satisfaction plateaus beyond four tools, and less than 25 percent of clinician adopters agree they received adequate training on managing AI-generated content in their workflows. Usage splits sharply by role, with 54 percent of physicians prioritizing ambient visit-note drafting while nurses lean on shift and patient-stay summaries.
