Discussants:
Mark Wu, Henry L. Stimson Professor of Law; Faculty Co-Director, Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, Harvard University
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.
