Huawei Releases New IDS Features to Digitally Enable Future Distribution Networks
In recent years, global power distribution networks have faced challenges like frequent power outages, low grid resilience, aging infrastructure, and limited renewable energy adoption. Furthermore, the scale of distributed PV and EV charging is booming. Traditional power system O&M has been under enormous strain.
To address these issues, Huawei's IDS adopts the 'cloud-pipe-edge-pipe-device' architecture and incorporates ICTs such as the high-speed power line carrier (HPLC) and the edge computing unit (ECU), delivering transparent sensing and proactive O&M. This allows customers to shorten the time taken to respond to faults, enhance distribution network resilience against extreme natural disasters, and boost user satisfaction. To date, the IDS has been deployed on a large scale in China and has been piloted by more than 20 power distribution companies around the world. In Asia Pacific, the IDS has helped shorten the power outage detection time to no more than two minutes and reduce the line loss rate by about 20%.
During the exhibition, Huawei released a tailored new IDS feature to tackle the issue of unobservable, unmeasurable, and uncontrollable devices and environments in the power distribution room. AI + IoT sensing devices are used to build an all-weather environment sensing network for power distribution rooms, delivering real-time warnings around the clock. With the help of AI's efficient data processing and real-time response capabilities, timely environmental risk warnings and preventive maintenance of equipment can be carried out, transforming passive handling into proactive prevention. This helps customers cope with the impact of extreme weather on power supplies, improving power supply reliability while also extending equipment life.
During CIRED 2025, with the support of IET, Huawei held the IDS Rump Session to share its practical experience in working with partners to help customers promote digital and intelligent transformation of distribution networks. As a long-term supporter of international standards in the power distribution field, Huawei participated in the 5th meeting of the IEEE P 2413.2 Working Group. The aim was to promote the standardization and international development of the power industry, drive the construction of distribution communication networks, and solve the two global technical conundrums of medium-voltage backhaul and 400V low-voltage transparency.
With the release of new IDS features, Huawei deepens technological innovation and practical applications in this field to help customers implement transparent management of low-voltage 400V devices.

China proposes global AI cooperation body amid US tech rivalry
SHANGHAI: China said on Saturday it wanted to create an organisation to foster global cooperation on artificial intelligence, positioning itself as an alternative to the U.S. as the two vie for influence over the transformative technology. China wants to help coordinate global efforts to regulate fast-evolving AI technology and share the country's advances, Premier Li Qiang told the annual World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. President Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday released an AI blueprint aiming to vastly expand U.S. AI exports to allies in a bid to maintain the American edge over China in the critical technology. Li did not name the United States but appeared to refer to Washington's efforts to stymie China's advances in AI, warning that the technology risked becoming the 'exclusive game' of a few countries and companies. China wants AI to be openly shared and for all countries and companies to have equal rights to use it, Li said, adding that Beijing was willing to share its development experience and products with other countries, particularly the 'Global South'. The Global South refers to developing, emerging or lower-income countries, mostly in the southern hemisphere. How to regulate AI's growing risks was another concern, Li said, adding that bottlenecks included an insufficient supply of AI chips and restrictions on talent exchange. 'Overall global AI governance is still fragmented. Countries have great differences particularly in terms of areas such as regulatory concepts, institutional rules,' he said. 'We should strengthen coordination to form a global AI governance framework that has broad consensus as soon as possible.' SHANGHAI HEADQUARTERS The three-day Shanghai conference brings together industry leaders and policymakers at a time of escalating technological competition between China and the United States - the world's two largest economies - with AI emerging as a key battleground. Washington has imposed export restrictions on advanced technology to China, including the most high-end AI chips made by companies such as Nvidia and chipmaking equipment, citing concerns that the technology could enhance China's military capabilities. Despite these restrictions, China has continued making AI breakthroughs that have drawn close scrutiny from U.S. officials. China's Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu told a roundtable of representatives from over 30 countries, including Russia, South Africa, Qatar, South Korea and Germany, that China wanted the organisation to promote pragmatic cooperation in AI and was considering putting its headquarters in Shanghai. The foreign ministry released online an action plan for global AI governance, inviting governments, international organisations, enterprises and research institutions to work together and promote international exchanges including through a cross-border open source community. The government-sponsored AI conference typically attracts major industry players, government officials, researchers and investors. Saturday's speakers included Anne Bouverot, the French president's special envoy for AI, computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton, known as 'the Godfather of AI', and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has in past years regularly appeared at the opening ceremony in person or by video, did not speak this year. Besides forums, the conference features exhibitions where companies demonstrate their latest innovations. This year, more than 800 companies are participating, showcasing more than 3,000 high-tech products, 40 large language models, 50 AI-powered devices and 60 intelligent robots, according to organisers. The exhibition features predominantly Chinese companies, including tech giants Huawei and Alibaba and startups such as humanoid robot maker Unitree. Western participants include Tesla, Alphabet and Amazon. - Reuters

Digital Ministry drafting AI bill to combat deepfake videos
PETALING JAYA: The Digital Ministry is presently drafting an Artificial Intelligence (AI) bill to regulate the fast-evolving technology and combat deepfake videos as well as AI-related crimes, said Minister Gobind Singh Deo. 'The legislative draft is currently being refined through a comprehensive and inclusive engagement process involving various stakeholders. 'This approach is taken to ensure that the forthcoming legislation is holistic, balanced, and aligned with current technological developments as well as the nation's needs,' he said in a written parliamentary reply to Wong Chen (PH-Subang). Gobind added that the government has introduced the National AI Ethics and Governance Guidelines (AIGE), which outline seven core principles, including fairness, transparency, accountability and privacy protection, that must be observed by AI developers and users. Last month, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said said Malaysia is studying to develop AI legislation to address legal complexities in the digital age. She further said that she has formally written a letter to Gobind, proposing a meeting between the Legal Affairs Division (BHEUU) and the Digital Ministry to initiate a discussion on drafting new AI laws. According to Azalina, at present, Malaysia has no specific laws focused on AI because, unlike traditional technologies, AI operates on an entirely different platform.

China urges global consensus on balancing AI development, security
SHANGHAI — China's Premier Li Qiang warned Saturday that artificial intelligence development must be weighed against the security risks, saying global consensus was urgently needed even as the tech race between Beijing and Washington shows no sign of abating. His remarks came just days after US President Donald Trump unveiled an aggressive low-regulation strategy aimed at cementing US dominance in the fast-moving field, promising to 'remove red tape and onerous regulation' that could hinder private sector AI development. Opening the World AI Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai on Saturday, Li emphasised the need for governance and open-source development, announcing the establishment of a Chinese-led body for international AI cooperation. 'The risks and challenges brought by artificial intelligence have drawn widespread attention… How to find a balance between development and security urgently requires further consensus from the entire society,' the premier said. Li said China would 'actively promote' the development of open-source AI, adding Beijing was willing to share advances with other countries, particularly developing ones. 'If we engage in technological monopolies, controls and blockage, artificial intelligence will become the preserve of a few countries and a few enterprises,' he said. 'Only by adhering to openness, sharing and fairness in access to intelligence can more countries and groups benefit from (AI).' The premier highlighted 'insufficient supply of computing power and chips' as a bottleneck. Washington has expanded its efforts in recent years to curb exports of state-of-the-art chips to China, concerned that these can be used to advance Beijing's military systems and erode US tech dominance. For its part, China has made AI a pillar of its plans for technological self-reliance, with the government pledging a raft of measures to boost the sector. In January, Chinese startup DeepSeek unveiled an AI model that performed as well as top US systems despite using less powerful chips. At a time when AI is being integrated across virtually all industries, its uses have raised major ethical questions, from the spread of misinformation to its impact on employment, or the potential loss of technological control. In a speech at WAIC on Saturday, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Geoffrey Hinton compared the situation to keeping 'a very cute tiger cub as a pet'. 'To survive', he said, you need to ensure you can train it not to kill you when it grows up. In a video message played at the WAIC opening ceremony, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said AI governance would be 'a defining test of international cooperation'. The ceremony also saw the French president's AI envoy, Anne Bouverot, underscore the 'an urgent need' for global action. At an AI summit in Paris in February, 58 countries including China, France and India — as well as the European Union and African Union Commission — called for enhanced coordination on AI governance. But the United States warned against 'excessive regulation', and alongside the United Kingdom, refused to sign the summit's appeal for an 'open', 'inclusive' and 'ethical' AI. — AFP
