Welcome to the Seneca Podcast, a weekly discussion of current affairs in China. In this program, we look at books, ideas, new research, intellectual currents, and cultural trends that can help us better understand what's happening in China's politics, foreign relations, economics, and society. Join me each week for in-depth conversations that shed more light and bring less heat to how we think and talk about China. I'm Kaiser Guo, coming to you this week from the road. Today I am in Bloomington, Indiana, headed for Chicago and then Madison, Wisconsin.
Speaking of which, Seneca is supported again this year by the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Wisconsin Madison and a National Resource Center for the Study of East Asia. I just can't tell you how grateful I am to the good folks there, David, Lori, and all the others at the center for making Seneca possible. This week I'm sharing the third installment from the day-long conference convened by the Institute for America, China and the Future of Global Affairs, ACF, At Johns Hopkins Size, the School of Advanced International Studies, on April 3 in Washington, the China debate We're not having politics, technology, and the road ahead.
The first two episodes featured Jessica Chen Weiss's opening remarks and the panels on what China wants and what the United States wants. This week's panel, Tech, Rivalry, and Competing Visions of the Future, turns to the domain that, more than any other, has come to define how Washington thinks about the US-China relationship, technology, and especially AI. Once again, my deep, deep thanks to Jessica Chen Weiss, ACF's inaugural faculty director for organizing this terrific conference and for so generously letting me share this audio with cynical listeners. You will hear first from the moderator, Kat Duffy, of the Council on Foreign Relations, and she'll have the panelists each introduce themselves.
