Policy Question(s)
1. How to prevent the "Straw-man Fallacy" from distorting global AI governance policies?
2. Can technological competition and governance cooperation coexist?
3. Who should lead the formulation of global AI rules?
What will participants gain from attending this session? 1. Understand the complexity of global AI governance against the backdrop of Sino-US technological competition, and how the "straw man fallacy"—based on misinterpreting the other party's stance in policy formulation—exacerbates the fragmentation of governance.
2. Explore potential collaborative models among China, the US, and Europe in areas such as technical standards, data sharing, and ethical frameworks, and analyze how misunderstandings, as illustrated by the "Deepseek incident," impact policy-making.
Description:
The Deepseek incident has provided the world with a fresh perspective on China's AI capabilities. Previously, the U.S.-China tech war significantly shaped global perceptions of China's high-tech and AI development, greatly constraining the establishment of effective mechanisms and proactive advancements in global AI governance. In the post-Trump era, numerous experts have engaged in discussions and debates over the strategies and future pathways for AI governance among the United States, China, and Europe, exploring the challenges of global cooperation moving forward.
