Kokas argues that US government leadership failures, Silicon Valley&#8217;s disruption fetish, and Wall Street&#8217;s addiction to growth have fueled China&#8217;s technological goldrush. In turn, American complacency yields an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather data in the United States and quietly send it back to China, and by extension, to the Chinese government. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the US and China and a large trove of corporate and policy documents, <em>Trafficking Data<\/em> explains how China is fast becoming the global leader in internet governance and policy, and thus of the data that defines our public and private lives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u3010<\/strong><strong>Moderator<\/strong><strong>\u3011<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yuko Itatsu (Professor, Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies, The University of Tokyo)<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u3010<\/strong><strong>Organizer<\/strong><strong>\u3011<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>B\u2019AI Global Forum, Institute for AI and Beyond, The University of Tokyo<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u3010<\/strong><strong>Supported by<\/strong><strong>\u3011<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Institute for AI and Beyond, The University of Tokyo<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u3010<\/strong><strong>Inquiry<\/strong><strong>\u3011<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>B\u2019AI Global Forum Office<\/p>\n<p>bai.global.forum[at]gmail.com\uff08Please change [at] to @\uff09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please join us in a conversation with Dr. Aynne Ko<\/p>\n<div class=\"continue-reading-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baiforum.jp\/en\/events\/en030\/\" class=\"continue-reading\">Continue Reading<i class=\"ion-ios-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[151,152,64],"class_list":["post-1548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","tag-aynne-kokas","tag-digital-sovereignty","tag-lecture"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/baiforum.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/baiforum.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/baiforum.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baiforum.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baiforum.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1548"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/baiforum.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1548\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1568,"href":"https:\/\/baiforum.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1548\/revisions\/1568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/baiforum.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baiforum.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baiforum.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
