AI Development and the Fuzzy Logic' of Chinese Cyber Security and Data Laws (Paperback)

Paperback. The book examines the extent to which Chinese cyber and network security laws and policies act as a constraint on the emergence of Chinese entrepreneurialism and innovation. Specifically, how the contradictions and tensions between data localisation laws (as part of Network Sovereignty policies) affect innovation in artificial intelligence (AI). The book surveys the globalised R&D networks, and how the increasing use of open-source platforms by leading Chinese AI firms during 20172020, exacerbated the apparent contradiction between Network Sovereignty and Chinese innovation. The drafting of the Cyber Security Law did not anticipate the changing nature of globalised AI innovation. It is argued that the deliberate deployment of what the book refers to as 'fuzzy logic' in drafting the Cyber Security Law allowed regulators to subsequently interpret key terms regarding data in that Law in a fluid and flexible fashion to benefit Chinese innovation. This book explains the rapid rise of China's innovation system and provides a roadmap for the prospects of China's AI development, within the bounds of China's data laws. It will appeal to lawyers, policymakers, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, the global technology industry as well as those interested in China's entrepreneurial ecosystem.
