Military-Civil Fusion and China's AI Research Strategy
Emily S. Weinstein, Center for Security and Emerging Technology
The People’s Republic of China has prioritized the development of artificial intelligence (AI) throughout all facets of society, ranging from education and training to military modernization and broader national security applications. A primary motivation for the prioritization of AI has been the country’s strategy of Military-Civil Fusion (MCF), which seeks to ensure that new advancements and innovations simultaneously advance the country’s economic and military development. This talk will discuss the intersection of China’s AI policies and MCF strategy. Via case studies, it will also illuminate how these efforts have and may continue to work in tandem.
