Great thread on the PRC's new "Global AI Gov Initiative". Initiative details are currently minimal but on the rhetorical level for domestic and developing country audiences, this is the latest step in PRC attempts to portray an image as a rightful & moral global AI leader

Honored to be a part of the @USAinUK 4th of July celebration at Winfield House last night! @USAmbUK #j4Winfield23

Very excited about all the interesting projects the @GovAI_ Winter Fellows got up to. Projects ranged from external scrutiny of frontier models, Chinese AI development, market concentration implications of foundation models, public input into AI, and more governance.ai/post/winter-fe…

@KaylaBlomquist3 analysed how the People’s Republic of China’s desire for increased geopolitical legitimacy plays a role in how they approach AI development and governance.

My colleague @matt_oshaug digs into an apparent contradiction: 🇨🇳's generative AI reg is a laundry list of 🌎 principles for "democratic values" in AI. It's also intended to strengthen CCP control. What gives? *Principles<Oversight from institutions* carnegieendowment.org/2023/05/16/wha…

Thrilled to speak with @TheEconomist on China's AI development along with @mattsheehan88 and @jjding99. See the article here: economist.com/business/2023/…

More informed policymakers in the room leads to better and more nuanced decisions. Really proud that the evidence Sam, Kayla, and I wrote for the UK's FAC last year contributed to a doubling of funding toward building China-facing capabilities.

Interested in China's fresh draft regulations governing generative AI training data, accuracy of outputs, and responsibility for service providers? Here's our Stanford project's full translation: digichina.stanford.edu/work/translati…

As AI is increasingly covered in the public discourse, it's critically important to focus on collaborative, solutions-oriented approaches, rather than oversimplifying & polarizing the many issues at hand. Very helpful breakdown from @emmabluemke !

My first solo-authored publication is now available open access in @RIPEJournal! *The diffusion deficit in scientific and technological power: re-assessing China’s rise* tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on & reviewed this piece. Key takeaways below:

Great start to #ISA2023 in beautiful Montreal. So happy to see such a strong DU Korbel School presence as a proud alum! @isanet @josefkorbel @sie_center @UofDenver
