ChinaTalk is a podcast and newsletter that covers US-China relations and technology policy for a global audience of over 40,000 weekly readers. In recent years, we've gone in depth on AI developments in the US and China, and in 2024 we're hoping to grow into the leading outlet for English-language coverage of China's AI ecosystem.
Some past representative pieces include writing on:
Chinese frontier model capabilities: Putting China’s Top LLMs to the Test
Beijing's regulatory approach to AI: AI in Chains?
Exploring the Chinese government's approach to AI safety: Beijing’s Vision of Global AI Governance
This year, we're aiming go deeper. We're inspired by new platforms like:
Interconnects: synthesis of new developments in AI research perspective
Supervised News: deep industry coverage of evolving AI market dynamics
And for some China-specific newsletters we admire:
ChinAI, Jeff Ding's weekly translation and analysis of Chinese-language coverage
AI Safety in China, Concordia AI's look at the evolving China AI safety landscape
Recode China AI, a weekly recap of market and regulatory developments
