Theory of Change
AI Safety in China operates on the premise that global AI safety outcomes depend critically on whether China's AI ecosystem meaningfully engages with safety concerns. By bridging the knowledge gap between China's AI safety research and the broader international community, the newsletter and Concordia AI's wider work aim to: (1) inform international policymakers and researchers about China's actual safety-relevant activities, reducing misunderstanding and enabling better coordination; (2) strengthen China's domestic AI safety community by raising awareness of frontier risks and connecting Chinese researchers with global safety discourse; and (3) facilitate Track 1.5 and Track 2 dialogues between Chinese and Western AI safety stakeholders. The causal chain runs from improved information flows and network building, through more coordinated international AI governance and stronger safety norms within China, toward reduced probability of catastrophic outcomes from advanced AI systems.
