Follow the group’s Facebook event for more details.
Paul Mozur is a technology correspondent focused on the intersection of technology and geopolitics in Asia. He has been twice named a Pulitzer Prize finalist. He has covered China’s innovation boom, the global spread of disinformation on Facebook, the rise of new surveillance technologies and the emerging tech competition between China and the United States.
Paul will provide an insight to the tech environment in China, a region unlike anywhere else in the world and one which has seen greater scrutiny in recent times. The talk will centre around China’s ambitions for their implementation of artificial intelligence and how such progress has been impacted by massive state spending in surveillance. Additionally, in considering the overall landscape, Paul will discuss areas where developments have gone well and where things look rather dystopian.
