Stanford DigiChina Project

A collaborative project to translate, contextualize, and analyze Chinese technology policy at @FSIStanford.

[Stanford HAI @StanfordHAI]

📢 New issue brief: Have Chinese AI models pulled ahead of their global counterparts? Our latest brief analyzes China’s diverse open-weight model ecosystem and examines the policy implications of their widespread global diffusion. https://t.co/zkdBKf7N5F

[Stanford DigiChina Project @DigiChn]

NEW: What does China's outbound data transfer regime look like a few months after authorities replaced cumbersome rules with a new approach?

In "Moving Data, Moving Target," @SammSacks @ZengKrystal @gwbstr go deep on what changed & what remains uncertain.

A thought-provoking initial take from @DigiChn on the proposed text of a Chinese "Artificial Intelligence Law" floated last week by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS). I didn't even know CASS was a player in this space, but clearly they are!

@hellomingli @hunter_dorwart @johannamcostig1 @gwbstr ALSO: The Forum comes alongside a guest translation edited by Concordia AI's Kwan Yee Ng and Jason Zhou, with contributions from @benm_translator @China_Digital @hunter_dorwart.

NEW: What to make of a scholar's draft for a Chinese "AI Law"? The proposal comes after the May announcement that China would work on one.

We joined @stanfordcyber at launch. Four years at college—does that mean we’ve earned our bachelor’s?

[Stanford Tech Impact and Policy Center @StanfordTIP]

🎂Today, June 6th, @StanfordCyber turns four years old. 🥂

We've grown to six programs (soon to be seven), hosted sold out events, formed partnerships, launched initiatives, and published ground breaking research. Take a look back at our milestones:🗓️

Glad to contribute my 2c on how China is approaching generative AI regulation to this @DigiChn forum. It's not just Italy and co taking a close look at the data protection implications of ChatGPT and the like...

[Matt Sheehan @mattsheehan88]

Why did 🇨🇳 China release a new draft regulation on generative AI just 4 months after their last regulation covering generative AI went into effect?

I answer that question and draw lessons for other countries in my submission to this @DigiChn forum:

[Matt Sheehan @mattsheehan88]

These recommendations by Chinese AI policy scholars pairs nicely with the @DigiChn forum on the same generative AI draft regulation: https://t.co/lsXGtftLPo

[Matt Sheehan @mattsheehan88]

🇨🇳's AI policy community is publicly debating the country's draft generative AI regulation.

Here 7 Chinese scholars suggest 5 changes including:
- softening training data requirements
- diversifying mitigation methods

Cool to watch this debate play out:

@hlntnr @zac_haluza @CovingtonLLP @mattsheehan88 @seatonyhuang @China_Digital You can click through to our translation in the forum. Editor @gwbstr also recommends the "obligations" and "liabilities" table from @ChinaLawTransl8's article this week as a cheat sheet for what's in the draft: https://t.co/Cdq0e73EWL

Todo mundo acha que regular IA é um tiro no pé do Ocidente. Pois bem, saiu a tradução do projeto de legislação da China pra regular IAs lá tb.
