Over time, this initiative could allow China, a country, with lots of data, to create a new source of revenue, which in turn could stimulate new markets and sources of data. Moreover, it could have a significant impact on China’s AI competitiveness. Ironically, Chinese firms have not welcomed the initiative, because companies are concerned about complex compliance requirements, valuation challenges, and concerns over data security. Please join us for Webinar 49 which will explore China’s strategic goals for data assetization, the role of state-led data marketplaces, and how these efforts fit into the country’s broader AI ambitions. *Speakers* *Dr. Lizzi Lee* <https://gwu.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ef0b38a8b995e449ee9ab45f5&id=f...>, Fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute’s (ASPI) Center for China Analysis *Ran Guo* <https://gwu.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ef0b38a8b995e449ee9ab45f5&id=e...>, Affiliated Researcher at the Asia Society Policy Institute’s Center for China Analysis *Moderator* *Dr. Susan Aaronson* <https://gwu.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ef0b38a8b995e449ee9ab45f5&id=4...>, Founder and Director, Digital Trade and Data Governance Hub. co-PI, Governance, NSF Trustworthy AI Institute for Law and Society Please register to receive your Zoom link and/or access to the Online Event Page to attend.
