Join the Tech Policy Lab and CASRIP for a talk on “AI and the Law: Setting the Stage in China.”

Dr. HAO Yuan will discuss China’s AI awakening, the challenges it poses, and how law might address those challenges. How can the law ensure that AI innovation will bring humans optimal welfare and happiness, rather than risk and harm? How should law interact with other forms of governance, including ethics, social norms, and technology itself?

Her current fields of interest include patent law, anti-monopoly law, and how patent law facilitates innovation in China.
