Excited to see my paper 'Self-Regulation and Pre-Market Licensing as Methods of Controlling GenAI in the People's Republic of China – Preliminary Observations' finally published in Polish as part of my cooperation with the University of Warsaw! Great to see this in print.

On Monday 17.02 I had the pleasure of presenting our paper with @lilianedwards.bsky.social & Gabriele Cifrodelli at "AI and Scots Law: Transforming the Future" at Uni of Dundee. Big thanks to dr Lorna Gillies & dr Michiel Poesen for an amazing event with an impressive lineup of Law & Tech experts!

What a shift this morning! Interesting that the Chinese equivalent of the UK's AISI - 中国人工智能发展与安全研究网络 - could be translated as either 'China AI Development and 'Safety' Research Network' or 'Security' RN. If they ever decide to update their English name too, it wouldn’t be a big change!

Just a reminder that in the inaugural issue of #CambridgeForum on AI, you can find our article, "Private Ordering, GenAI, and the ‘Platformisation Paradigm’: What Can We Learn from a Comparative Analysis of Models’ T&C?" 👇

The 17th Annual Conference of the European China Law Studies Association in Helsinki has been great so far! It's an amazing feeling to be able to engage in discussions with so many scholars passionate about Chinese law from all over the world in one place!
