Politics of AI in China
China’s open ambition to become a global AI superpower has attracted considerable policy, media and academic attention. This talk will focus on national strategy, security and governance aspects of China’s AI approach. It will discuss why China’s AI approach is sophisticated and multifaced, and how it has brought about both considerable benefits and challenges to China.
