Governing Silicon Valley and Shenzhen: Assessing a New Era of Artificial Intelligence Governance in the US and China

The United States and China are both striving to be the world leader in AI, with conflicting visions. However, the intensifying "clash of civilizations" narrative ignores factors integral to each country's AI strategy. This project uses a philosophy-grounded framework and natural language processing (NLP) methods to analyze what policy differences exist and why they exist. It examines new developments and argues that while obstacles to cooperation still exist, ethical convergences offer hope.
