SUMMARY:The OpenClaw Paradox: AI Agents\, Labor Anxiety\, and Radical Pragmatism in China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lihui Zhang\, Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government Senior Fellow\, Harvard Kennedy School \n\n\n\nIn this study group\, led by M-RCBG Senior Fellow Lihui Zhang\, we will explore how Chinese society demonstrates a distinctive duality in its approach to emerging technologies like AI\, combining both enthusiastic adoption and underlying anxiety. While American and European companies increasingly restrict employee access to AI tools due to security concerns\, Chinese organizations have embraced such technologies nearly universally across workplaces.Paradoxically\, this widespread integration occurs alongside growing public apprehension about workforce displacement. Many Chinese workers express genuine concern that AI will eventually replace human labor\, creating a complex emotional landscape of excitement and fear. This tension reflects broader global conversations about technological advancement and economic transformation in the AI era. China’s unique societal response to technology is precisely what makes it a potential testing ground for how humanity can address the challenges of AI. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Taiwan Studies+ 2.0 Symposium
DESCRIPTION:As Taiwan finds itself reentering into the global conversation today\, where does the field of Taiwan Studies find itself in this historical moment? From the origins of capitalism to the threat of nuclear pollution\, from soundscapes in the authoritarian era to contemporary video games\, from indigenous identities to Cold War activism\, and from geopolitical competition to ecological imaginations – how do we identify different moments of Taiwan’s history as key nodes of global and local processes? This symposium\, now in its second iteration\, seeks to bring together different generations of global Taiwan scholars\, with the goal to foster new linkages and networks for a burgeoning field. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
