Overview
This book provides a comprehensive account of Chinese AI in its various facets, based on primary Chinese-language sources. China’s rise as an AI power is an event of importance to the world and a potential challenge to liberal democracies. Filling a gap in the literature, this volume is fully documented, data-driven, and presented in a scholarly format suitable for citation and for supporting downstream research, while also remaining accessible to laypersons. It brings together 15 recognized international experts to present a full treatment of Chinese artificial intelligence. The volume contains chapters on state, commercial, and foreign sources of China’s AI power; China’s AI talent, scholarship, and global standing; the impact of AI on China’s development of cutting-edge disciplines; China’s use of AI in military, cyber, and surveillance applications; AI safety, threat mitigation, and the technology’s likely trajectory. The book ends with recommendations drawn from the authors’ interactions with policymakers and specialists worldwide, aimed at encouraging AI’s healthy development in China and preparing the rest of the world to engage with it. This book will be of much interest to students of Chinese politics, science and technology studies, security studies and international relations.

Reviews
'A wide yet deep roadmap of China's strategic maneuver to seize the commanding heights of artificial intelligence, dominating the fertile plains of world economy, medicine and socio-political life, the contest grounds of technology and the battlefields of possible future wars. A must read for leaders and thinkers in technologically advanced democracies.'--BG (Res.) Assaf Orion, former chief of strategy in the Israel Defense Forces, currently director of The Diane and Guilford Glazer Center for Israel-China Policy at Israel's Institute of National Security Studies (INSS) 'As someone who works in the intersection of tech and policy, I highly applaud this book. It is a thorough investigation into China's ambition to become world's leading AI superpower and its concerns and implications to which the world must pay attention to. Whether you are in tech, politics, policy, security, academic or NGOs, you should read this book and think deeply about some of the issues raised.'-- Jason Hsu, Former Legislator Taiwan, and Senior Research Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School, USA
