SUMMARY:China’s Long-Term Investments in AI Growth: Bringing the Public and Private Sectors Together | Georgetown’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese leadership has put artificial intelligence front and center in China’s industrial development. As part of this strategy\, they have established: \n1. Industry alliances—collaboration platforms involving local governments\, academic institutions\, and companies; and \n2. Government guidance funds—public-private investment vehicles that mobilize massive amounts of capital in support of strategic and emerging technologies. \nCSET’s Ngor Luong and Ben Murphy have published research examining each of these components of China’s AI development strategy. In “China’s Artificial Intelligence Industry Alliance\,” Luong examined the Chinese government’s AI industry alliance used to foster AI collaboration and\, occasionally\, to pick winners in the country’s AI sector. In “Chinese Government Guidance Funds\,” Luong and Murphy drew on hundreds of Chinese-language sources to perform an in-depth assessment of whether these guidance funds are delivering on their stated goal of accelerating progress in the development of emerging technologies. \n[…]

SUMMARY:Conspiracy Theories with Jen Roberts | Oregon Humanities
DESCRIPTION:The Flat Earth Society. The Illuminati. QAnon. Sometimes it seems like conspiracy theories have been multiplying exponentially\, especially in this time of global pandemic. Why do we gravitate toward conspiracy theories to make sense of the world? What human need do these stories fill? In this program\, we’ll explore some conspiracy theories old and new\, famous and obscure. What common themes do they share? How do they operate as stories and how do they evolve? What’s the difference between a conspiracy theory and myth\, folklore\, and “fake news”? We’ll talk about the mechanics of conspiracy theories as we explore how to determine what’s true\, what’s false\, and whom to trust. \nEmail info@josephinelibrary.org to register for this program. \n[…]
