Artificial intelligence is reshaping the world at an unprecedented pace, driving innovation, raising complex legal questions, and redefining global collaboration. As AI technologies evolve, so too do the frameworks that govern them, with the United States and China each contributing uniquely to this transformation. Platforms like TikTok have revolutionized digital content and global connectivity, while cutting-edge AI models such as DeepSeek are pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence. The future of AI will be shaped not by competition alone, but by dialogue and shared understanding.

We are honored to welcome two of the most influential voices in technology and law:

🔹 Professor Mark Lemley, William H. Neukom Professor of Law at Stanford Law School, is a globally recognized expert in intellectual property and technology law.

🔹 Di Yao (LLM’15), Head of Legal at Google Shanghai and Vice Chair/Board Member of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, brings deep expertise in cross-border regulation, platform governance, and data privacy. With extensive experience navigating the legal landscape of emerging technologies, he offers a unique perspective on AI’s role in business and policy.

This conversation will provide a rare opportunity to hear from two leading experts on how law and technology intersect in an era of rapid transformation, with a special focus on TikTok, DeepSeek, and the future of AI governance.
