It was set to become the global leader in Tech & AI.But restrictions on tech trade and chip-bans in recent years, and the spectacular advances in Generative AI in the US in 2022 and 2023, have reshuffled the cards.China is cultivating counterparts to ChatGPT, such as Baidu’s (the Chinese equivalent of Google) Ernie Bot and Alibaba Group Holding’s Tongyi Qianwen, but American firms OpenAI and Google continue to lead. The UK, France, Israel, Canada, India, Japan, Germany and Singapore are the other countries leading the Tech-AI race. What are the perspectives for the future? What are the global impacts of the Tech-AI rivalry ? What are the risks? What can we learn from cultural differences between the West and China? What are the differences in leadership, management, entrepreneurship,  as well as in the capacities to innovate and embrace change?Guest SpeakersYves Tiberghien Professor of Political Science - University of British ColumbiaDirector Emeritus of the Institute of Asian ResearchDistinguished Fellow at the Asia-Pacific Foundation of CanadaVisiting Professor Science PoHEC Graduate - Stanford University M.A. Ph.D. - Harvard ScholarAuthor of numerous works on Asia.
