As governments race to set the rules of the digital economy, China has rapidly built a far reaching framework for data, platforms, and AI. This session will explore how those developments intersect with other approaches, and how organizations are recalibrating their strategies in a world where China is both a critical market and a regulatory outlier.

 

What you will learn:

  • Assess China’s AI and data governance model with other global approaches.
  • Identify risks and opportunities in operating across divergent regulatory systems.
