First, in a firestarter briefing, IST’s Jennifer Tang and Fatima Faisal Khan discussed IST’s past, current, and future work on U.S.-China technological and geopolitical competition. Then, in a panel discussion moderated by IST Chief Trust Officer Steven M. Kelly, expert China watchers discussed the state of China’s AI ecosystem.
