Chinese Perspectives on AI in Global Context

Since 2022, Georgetown University’s Representative Office in Rome and the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS, University of London) has organized a series of closed workshops around the theme “Chinese Perspectives on AI in Global Context: Towards a New Ethical Eco-System.”

The conversations bring together diverse scholars and practitioners: AI engineers and experts in digital media and communications, philosophers and ethicists, and scholars of Chinese thought and civilization across disciplines. The aim is to bring Chinese perspectives on AI into the emergent global dialogue about its wider cultural, economic, and policy implications for humanity and its future.
