Andy talks with Alex Wang, the founder and CEO of Scale AI, to discuss the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and its implications for national security. Forbes says Alex, at age 25, is the world's youngest self-made billionaire. He describes the three foundational pillars of AI—data, compute, and algorithms—and how advancements in each have driven recent progress. Alex discusses how AI advancement could enable adversaries to pose new threats to US national security, and the guardrails the technology may need.
Guests: Varun Mohan, CEO & Co-Founder of Codeium; and Leigh Marie Braswell, partner at Kleiner Perkins“A lot of people are really bad at knowing what good is,” says Codeium CEO Varun Mohan. Specifically, he's thinking of startups that hire based on a “logo” — a well-known company on the résumé — rather than exceptional talent. Codeium is based in Mountain View, CA, and Varun believes that it's incumbent on any new startup to hire in the San Francisco Bay Area, because of how exceptional talent is concentrated there. “When you hire someone that's 10x better,” he says, “you can't replace them with 10 1x people. Because the the 10x person is going to be thinking of ideas that none of these 1x people are ever going to think of.”Chapters:(01:05) - Ludicrous growth (03:54) - Seizing opportunity (07:29) - Product-market fit (13:05) - Scale AI & MIT (17:42) - Coding efficiency (22:58) - Larger companies (25:20) - Varun and Leigh Marie's working relationship (29:51) - Pivoting to Codeium (34:00) - Giving away the product (37:01) - The code-gen landscape (42:20) - Annual reinvention (45:00) - Picking a problem (47:07) - Bipul Sinha's help (50:43) - Ambition (53:13) - Building in Silicon Valley (55:11) - Spotting talent (59:11) - Who Codeium is hiring (59:43) - What “grit” means to Varun Mentioned in this episode: Graham Moreno, Wiz, ChatGPT, Google, Nuro, Goldman Sachs, Waymo, the DARPA Challenge, Alex Wang, Douglas Chen, Safeway, Equinox, Carlos Delatorre and MongoDB, The Qualified Sales Leader by John McMahon, GitHub Copilot, Microsoft, Exafunction, Mamoon Hamid, Figma, JPMorgan Chase, Starlink, SpaceX, Rubrik, Michael Dell, Stripe, and John Doerr.Links:Connect with VarunLinkedInTwitterConnect with Leigh MarieLinkedInTwitterConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

Jolim Chiu is an aspiring physicist and philosopher from the University of Illinois. He is one of our close friend and one of the deepest thinkers that we have met on campus. In this episode, we tackle the question, "What is the meaning of life?" Jolim has spent the better part of the last few years trying to get to the bottom of this question. He has created numerous models that has helped him make sense of subjects like faith, the after-life, and our goal as humans, some of which we uncover in this conversation. Jolim talks about how he gravitated towards video games and the numerous problems that he wants to find the answers to in his lifetime. We learned a lot from him during this conversation and shared a lot of our perspectives on these deep topics too. Due to the depth of the conversation, we decided to split the episode into two parts, with the other part currently published on the Clips Channel. Sit back, relax, and enjoy our conversation with Jolim Chiu.

How could AI change the global balance of power? What could the US and allies do to preserve national moats? To discuss, ChinaTalk interviewed the CEO of Scale AI, Alex Wang. In a blog post announcing Scale's $1 billion fundraising success, Alex wrote that Scale is aiming to grow into the world's data foundry for AI. Alex grew up in Los Alamos, New Mexico, with two physicist parents who worked in the national labs, and he started Scale in college. I am particularly excited to have Alex on the show because he is perhaps the only private-sector AI leader working with the DoD and thinking seriously about the national security implications of AI. We discuss: The three key factors limiting rapid AGI takeoff, and how quickly these barriers will be overcome; China's strengths and weaknesses in the race for AGI; National security implications for winning (or losing) the AI race; Prospects for AI net assessment and the case for a Manhattan project for data; Methods to prevent AI espionage without kneecapping innovation or profiling immigrants.

Alex Wang is the Founder and CEO @ Scale.ai, the company that allows you to make the best models with the best data. To date, Alex has raised $1.6BN for the company with a last reported valuation of $14BN earlier this year. Scale tripled their ARR in 2023 and is expected to hit $1.4BN in ARR by the end of 2024. Their investors include Accel, Index, Thrive, Founders Fund, Meta and Nvidia to name a few. In Today's Show with Alex Wang We Discuss: 1. Foundation Models: Diminishing Returns: What are the three core pillars that can meaningfully improve foundation models performance? Why is data the single largest bottleneck to the performance of models today? What data do we need to capture that we do not currently, that will have the biggest impact on model performance moving forward? Will we see the largest companies in the world revert back to on-prem with the increasing security challenges of migrating all customer data to foundation models? 2. AI: A Military Asset in Global Conflict: China + Russia Why does Alex believe that AI has the potential to be an even more powerful military asset than nuclear weapons? If this is the case, should we have open systems? Do we not have to have closed systems? Why does Alex believe that the CCP's approach to industrial policy is better than anyone else's? How does Alex evaluate the rise of Chinese EV car manufacturers in the last few years? Does Alex really believe that China is two years behind the US in the AI race? 3. "I Get Fairer Treatment in Congress than in the Press": Why does Alex believe that the best PR is no PR? Why does Alex believe that he got fairer treatment in congress than he does in the media? Why does Alex believe that all founders should look to own their own distribution channels today? 4. Alex Wang: AMA: What are some of Alex's biggest lessons from Patrick Collison on the impact that a hot company brand has on the ability for that company to hire the best? Does Alex think Trump is going to win? What would be the impact if he were to? Why does Alex believe that enterprise software will be changed forever in the next few years? What question is Alex never asked that he thinks he should be asked?
Tune in to today's special episode airing a recent panel with the founders of Scale AI, Anthropic, and AI Fund who gathered in Washington DC to discuss China as an adversary. They argue that the papers out of Tsinghua University are just as impressive as those coming out of American universities. China is just as creative, but maybe even more motivated. While discussions of regulations have encompassed certain restraints, Alex Wang, Andrew Ng, and Jack Clark argue that we're not moving fast enough (moderated by US senator Cory Booker). This session was recorded live at The Hill & Valley Forum in 2024, a private bipartisan community of lawmakers and innovators committed to harnessing the power of technology to address America's most pressing national security challenges.

Generative AI is advancing at a breakneck pace, prompting questions on risk and opportunity, from content creation to personal data management. In a special live recording, we delve into the ways AI can augment human work and spur innovation, instead of simply using AI to cut costs or replace jobs. Host Jeff Berman joined a seasoned AI researcher, Intel's Lama Nachman, and a young start-up founder, Scale AI's Alexandr Wang, on stage at the Intel Vision event in April 2024. They explore topics like AI's disruption of creative industries, mitigating its biggest risks (like deepfakes), and why human critical thinking will be even more vital as AI technology spreads.Read a transcript of this episode: https://mastersofscale.comSubscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter: https://mastersofscale.com/subscribeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ý thức được là Sáng Kiến Vành Đai và Con Đường – Belt and Road Initiatives BRI không còn sức lôi cuốn ban đầu, tăng trưởng và đầu tư của Trung Quốc « có hạn », Bắc Kinh đi tìm « một làn gió mới cho Con Đường Tơ Lụa Mới ». Nhưng làm thế nào để thuyết thuyết phục các đối tác của Bắc Kinh rằng BRI không đẩy thế giới đến gần một cuộc « Chiến tranh lạnh toàn diện » như nghi nhận của kinh tế trưởng ngân hàng Pháp Natixis, Alicia Garcia Herrero ? Đánh dấu 10 năm khai sinh Con Đường Tơ Lụa Mới, dự án đã được 150 quốc gia và 30 tổ chức quốc tế hưởng ứng, Bắc Kinh tổ chức Diễn Đàn BRI trong hai ngày 17 -18/10/2023. Trong số các khách mời ngoài sự hiện diện của tổng thống Nga, nguyên thủ Indonesia, thủ tướng Hungary và của nhiều nước châu Phi, trong lúc nhiều thành viên khác như Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ, Ai Cập hay Qatar, Nam Phi Achentina …và nhất là của hầu hết các nước châu Âu chỉ gửi phái đoàn đại diện ở cấp chuyên gia. Điều đó làm dấy lên câu hỏi : BRI có còn sức thu hút như hồi 2013 khi ông Tập Cận Bình đọc diễn văn tại Kazakhstan đã khai sinh Sáng Kiến Vành Đai và Con Đường hay còn được gọi là Sáng Kiến Một Vành Đai Một Con Đường ?Thành công về chính trị của Tập Cận BìnhCột mốc 10 năm BRI diễn ra trong bối cảnh kinh tế Trung Quốc đang tăng trưởng chậm lại, đầu tư nước ngoài vào Hoa Lục sụt giảm, cuộc đọ sức Mỹ- Trung không có dấu hiệu thuyên giảm. Dù vậy trên đài RFI Pháp ngữ Eyck Freymann, nghiên cứu sinh trường Harvard Kennedy School, tác giả cuốn, One Belt One Road, Chinese power meets the World -Một vành Đai, Một Con Đường, Quyền Lực Trung Quốc với Thế Giới (NXB Harvard UP, 2020) giải thích vì sao đối với ông Tập BRI là một thành công. « Theo tôi thì có ba mục tiêu. Đầu tiên và quan trọng hơn cả là ông Tập Cận Bình muốn củng cố vị trí của mình về mặt đối nội với một chương trình đầy tham vọng. Con Đường Tơ Lụa trở thành một khẩu hiệu mà tất cả các cơ quan trong guồng máy của Đảng và Nhà Nước phải quảng bá và ca tụng. Chủ đích thứ nhì nhằm áp đặt kỷ luật và trật tự vào lúc mà các ngân hàng Trung Quốc bắt đầu vươn ra quốc tế. Ông Tập vẫn muốn tiếp tục đặt các định chế ngân hàng này dưới sự lãnh đạo và kiểm soát của nhà nước và nhất là của Đảng Cộng Sản. Điểm thứ ba là Tập Cận Bình muốn thế giới hiểu rằng dưới sự lãnh đạo của ông, Trung Quốc càng lúc càng chiếm một vị trí quan trọng trên sân khấu quốc tế và Bắc Kinh muốn rằng ảnh hưởng kinh tế đó sẽ tạo dựng ảnh hưởng về chính trị của Trung Quốc với các đối tác mới, đặc biệt là với các quốc gia đang phát triển (...) Khi thông báo dự án Một Vành Đai Một Con Đường, Tập Cận Bình và nhiều nhà lãnh đạo khác đều mặc nhiên dựa trên giả thuyết là kinh tế Trung Quốc sẽ tiếp tục tăng trưởng vững mạnh trong nhiều thập niên sắp tới. Nhưng chỉ một chục năm sau, chúng ta thấy tăng trưởng của Trung Quốc đang bị chựng một cánh đáng kể. Cũng rất có thể là Trung Quốc rơi vào một chu kỳ tăng trưởng chậm trong nhiều năm. Điều đó có nghĩa là Bắc Kinh sẽ không thể tiếp tục cấp tín dụng dài hạn hàng trăm tỷ đô la cho thế giới. Ông Tập Cận Bình đã phải rà soát lại và thu hẹp những tham vọng của mình. Tuy nhiên, đầu tư vào cơ sở hạ tầng và cấp tín dụng cho các đối tác chỉ chiếm một vị trí khiêm tốn trong Sáng Kiến Một Vành Đai một Con Đường. Bởi theo tôi, BRI chủ yếu theo đuổi mục đích chính trị và ông Tập có một mục tiêu kép đó là vừa mở rộng kiểm soát của Đảng và Nhà Nước đối với hệ thống tài chính ngân hàng Trung Quốc, vừa khẳng định ông là một vĩ nhân trên bàn cờ quốc tế. Hơn bao giờ hết quyền lực của ông Tập đã được củng cố tại Trung Quốc ».Trong báo cáo công bố cuối 2021 cơ quan tư vấn Mỹ AIDDATA ghi nhận đã « có tổng cộng gần 13.500 dự án đầu tư với tổng số vốn lên đến gần 1.000 tỷ đô la đã được thực hiện trong khuôn khổ Sáng Kiến Một Vành Đai Một Con Đường ». Trong Sách Trắng về BRI công bố ngày 10/10/2023 Trung Quốc tự hào đưa ra những thành tích như là « tổng kim ngạch trao đổi mậu dịch với 150 nước tham gia BRI đạt 2.900 tỷ đô la năm 2022 (…) và trong tháng 6/2023 Bắc Kinh đã ký hơn 2.000 thỏa thuận hợp tác » với các bên tham gia Con Đường Tơ Lụa Mới.Điều đó không che dấu được một thực tế đó là đầu tư của Trung Quốc trong khuôn khổ BRI giảm mạnh từ sau đại dịch Covid 19 nhất là khi nhìn vào thống kê các dự án Trung Quốc đổ đổ về châu Phi. Theo báo cáo của đại học Mỹ Boston, tín dụng cấp cho châu Phi đang từ 8,5 tỷ đô la năm 2019 đã giảm xuống còn chưa đầy một tỷ vào cuối 2022.Nhưng trong 10 năm qua, nhờ Sáng Kiến Một Vành Đai Một Con Đường Trung Quốc trở thành chủ nợ chính của nhiều quốc gia. Cũng vì những khoản nợ khổng lồ những dự án phát triển cơ sở hạ tầng, đường thủy, đường bộ … mà nhiều nước như Sri Lanka hay Zambia và trong một chừng mực nào đó là Lào đã bị « cột chặt » vào với Bắc Kinh. Theo thống kê của AIDDATA 35 % các dự án hợp tác với Trung Quốc trong khuôn khổ BRI đã đặt ra « rất nhiều vấn đề » cho các đối tác của Bắc Kinh. Sri Lanka bị rơi vào « bẫy nợ » Trung Quốc. Pokhara thành phố lớn thứ nhì của Nepal không biết phải làm gì với phi trường quốc tế mới tinh nhưng không có bóng người qua lại.Từ BRI đến Con Đường Tơ Lụa DigitalCũng vì tránh mang tiếng là đã « giăng bẫy nợ » cho các nước nghèo với những công trình xây dựng khổng lồ nhưng vô bổ, tại diễn đàn Bắc Kinh vừa qua ông Tập Cận Bình đã nhán mạnh đến khái niệm một « Cộng đồng có chung định mệnh ». Trả lời RFI Pháp ngữ giáo sư Trần Kiến Phủ (Chen Chien Fu) giám đốc Viện Nghiên Cứu Trung Quốc -Đại Học Đạm Giang (Tamkang) Đài Loan ghi nhận nhiều thay đổi trong chính sách của Trung Quốc về dự án Con Đường Tơ Lụa Mới so với những mục tiêu ban đầu hồi 2013 :« Mười năm vừa qua dự án BRI đã có nhiều thay đổi. Trung Quốc càng vững mạnh, nhất là sau khi thành lập Ngân Hàng Đầu Tư Cơ Sở Hạ Tầng Châu Á – AIIB năm 2016, nhiều nước châu Âu bắt đầu tham gia vào ngân hàng này. Có thể nói đấy là thời kỳ vàng son của chương trình Một Vành Đai Một Con Đường, về khía cạnh ảnh hưởng của Trung Quốc. Dự án sau đó đã tiếp tục có nhiều chuyển biến khác. BRI không chỉ còn tập trung vào các chương trình phát triển cơ sử hạ tầng mà đã mở rộng đến nhiều lĩnh vực khác như là các dự án xây dựng đường ống dẫn dầu và khí tự nhiên. BRI bao gồm luôn cả các nguồn nhiên liệu hiếm. Với châu Phi chẳng hạn thì Trung Quốc chỉ có một mục tiêu đó là bảo đảm các nguồn cung cấp về khoáng sản hiếm và xây dựng căn cứ quân sự tại châu lục này ».Từ 2020 ngoại trưởng Trung Quốc Vương Nghị đã bắt đầu đề cập đến « Con Đường Tơ Lụa digital (DSR Digital Silk Road) : Bắc Kinh xem việc kết nối Hoa Lục với phần còn lại của thế giới về công nghệ kỹ thuật số là « một ưu tiên trong các chương trình hợp tác » trong tương lai. Nhưng không chỉ có thế giáo sư Trần Kiến Phủ đại học Đài Loan giải thích tiếp :« Trong tương lai sẽ còn có nhiều thay đổi khác nữa. Chẳng hạn như BRI sẽ không tạo cảm giác đây là một công cụ để Bắc Kinh mở rộng ảnh hưởng về ngoại giao bằng những chương trình đầu tư hào phóng. Có thể là Trung Quốc sẽ nhắm đến những mục tiêu chính xác hơn và mang tính cách lâu dài hơn, thí dụ như là các chương trình liên quan đến quyền của phụ nữ, hay các chương trình phát triển năng lượng xanh. Rất có thể Một Vành Đai Một Con Đường không chỉ tập trung vào các dự án đầu tư cơ sở hạ tầng mà sẽ chuyển hướng sang các dự án mang tính xã hội hay… Mục tiêu là nhằm cải thiện hình ảnh của Trung Quốc với các đối tác nhận tài trợ của Bắc Kinh ».BRI mượn tay doanh nghiệp Trung Quốc vì một trật tự mới ? Về phần nghiên cứu sinh trường Harvard Kennedy School Eyck Freymann thì BRI trước hết là một công cụ để ông Tập Cận Bình vừa củng cố vai trò của các doanh nghiệp Trung Quốc ở hải ngoại, vừa vẫn kềm tỏa số này trong vòng kiểm soát của Đảng và Nhà nước :« Khi ông Tập Cận bình lên cầm quyền, ông thừa hưởng chính sách đẩy mạnh đầu tư của Trung Quốc ra nước ngoài. Tuy nhiên đó cũng là cơ hội để nhiều doanh nghiệp Trung Quốc chuyển vốn ra khỏi Hoa Lục và như vậy thì đâu có phải là vì lợi ích quốc gia. Đó là lý do vì sao ông Tập Cận Bình đã nhanh chóng giành lại quyền để định hướng lại chính sách phát triển và đầu tư của Trung Quốc ở hải ngoại. Bắc Kinh đã loại bỏ những dự án không có lợi cho Nhà nước Trung Quốc (…). Trong chiều hướng đó, những mục tiêu của Sáng Kiến BRI đã thay đổi theo thời gian. Trung Quốc thích nghi, học hỏi và cũng đã phạm phải nhiều sai lầm : trong những năm đầu Con Đường Tơ Lụa Mới còn lỏng lẻo trong cách tổ chức. Giờ đây, mọi người ý thức là túi tiền của Trung Quốc cũng có hạn và Bắc Kinh thì chủ trương thu hoạch những thành quả về mặt chính trị tối đa với một số vốn phải bỏ ra ít chừng nào tối chừng nấy. Nói cách khác Trung Quốc đang mở ra mối quan hệ với các đối tác của mình dưới một góc độ khác hẳn và cũng đang tìm kiếm những dự án khác ». Song cũng không thể chối cãi là nhiều đối tác của Bắc Kinh thất vọng vì BRI. Nhiều thành viên trong Liên Hiệp Châu Âu từng hào hứng đón nhận đầu tư của Trung Quốc, đứng đầu là Hy Lạp hay Bồ Đào Nha và nhiều nước ở Trung và Đông Âu. Phần lớn đã rất « kín tiếng » nhân lễ mừng sinh nhật BRI 10 năm tuổi. Ý thì đang chuẩn bị chia tay với dự án được ông Tập Cận Bình coi là tủ kính của nền ngoại giao Trung Quốc từ khi ông lên cầm quyền.Small is beautifulChính vì thế mà trong diễn văn khai mạc Diễn Đàn BRI ở Bắc Kinh vừa qua chủ tịch Trung Quốc cam kết tiếp tục đầu tư 100 tỷ đô la cho Sáng Kiến Một Vành Đai Một Con Đường, chú trọng nhiều hơn đến những dự án phát triển sạch, chú ý hơn đến môi trường xã hội của các đối tác cùng làm ăn với Trung Quốc. Có điều như nghiên cứu sinh Harvard Kennedy School, Eyck Freymann, rất có thể là chu kỳ tăng trưởng mạnh của kinh tế Trung Quốc đã qua do vậy Bắc Kinh hô to khẩu hiệu Small is beautiful một phần là tránh để phải tiếp tục chi ra những chương trình đầu tư hàng chục triệu đô la. Tuy nhiên theo kinh tế trưởng ngân hàng Pháp Netixis, bà Alicia Garcia Herrero, chính vì cuộc đọ sức Mỹ Trung không có dấu hiệu thuyên giảm nên BRI lại càng là công cụ để Bắc Kinh lôi kéo thêm đồng minh về phía mình. Hơn nữa Nga, Iran đang bị Hoa Kỳ và phương Tây trừng phạt, cộng đồng quốc tế đang bị chia rẽ sau hơn 600 ngày chiến tranh Ukraina. Gần đây hơn, mọi chú ý đang dồn về Trung Cận Đông nơi mà tình hình được ví như một « thùng thuốc súng » từ sau đợt tấn công phong trào Hồi Giáo Palestine Hamas tiến hành trên lãnh thổ Israel, một phần thế giới Hồi Giáo và Ả Rập đang phẫn nộ. Đây lại càng là cơ hội để ông Tập Cận Bình đã nhắc nhở rằng Trung Quốc là một « yếu tố hàn gắn » những chia rẽ trên thế giới hiện. Trong cương vị chủ nhà lãnh đạo Trung Quốc tại diễn đàn BRI vừa qua đã nhắc lại những thành tựu đã đạt được trong thập niên vừa qua trong khuôn khổ dự án Con Đường Tơ Lụa Mới. Bắc Kinh đưa ra hình ảnh một nước Trung Quốc bảo vệ mô hình kinh tế toàn cầu « rộng mở » chống lại mọi chủ trương bảo hộ, mọi biện pháp dùng đòn kinh tế, thương mại « đơn phương trừng phạt hay uy hiếp các quốc gia khác », mọi quyết định làm xáo trộn chuỗi cung ứng toàn cầu. Một nhà ngoại giao châu Âu nhận định : với phát biểu này, không hiểu là lãnh đạo Trung Quốc muốn « chỉ trích đường lối của chính quyền Biden hay của chính ông ? »Nhà báo Alex Wang, cây bút trên tạp chí chuyên về địa chính trị Revue des Conflits đi xa hơn khi cho rằng tiếp quan khách nhân Diễn Đàn BRI lần thứ ba tuần trước, ông Tập Cận Bình để lộ rỏ những ưu tiên về kinh tế, chính trị và địa chính trị : ông không chỉ chuẩn bị công luận trước viễn cảnh « một cuộc đối đầu với Hoa Kỳ mà còn trình bày với thế giới về một mô hình phát triển khác, hấp dẫn hơn đối với các nước đang phát triển so với những gì mà phương Tây đã đề nghị với các quốc gia này từ lâu nay ».Đành rằng sau 10 đi vào hoạt động, BRI không hoàn hảo và là một « bẫy nợ » nguy hiểm nhưng Trung Quốc là một chủ nợ hiếm hoi cấp tín dụng cho những quốc gia bị các chủ nợ phương Tâ coi là những điểm đầu tư « không an toàn và những đối tác không đáng tin cậy ».

On this episode of Free Range, host Mike Livermore is joined by Alex Wang, Professor of Law at UCLA, co-director of the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, and expert on the law and politics of Chinese environmental governance. Beginning with Wang's initial experience in environmental issues in China, the US, and the NGO community, he discusses the generational and globally formative transformation he witnessed over his three decades in the field (1:37 - 9:36). After China's entry into the WTO, there were some expectations for a broader economic and political liberalization. While there has been an increase in marketization and economic freedom, the Communist Party has maintained tight political control (9:37-14:26). Although formal political freedom is limited in China, Wang emphasizes that there are many mechanisms through which politics occurs; he also discusses important developments in the state's administrative law and responsiveness to citizen demands in the past several decades. Wang discusses protests, concessions, and accountability that operate through less formal means, which can be effective at mediating social conflict, even if lacking traditional procedural fairness (14:27-22:18). The conversation highlights the difference between the US and China in regard to responsiveness to recent large-scale protests which also speaks to the extremity of Chinese policy. While rapid change is possible in China, it is core to the design of the US political system to diffuse power, which limits capacity for rapid change (22:19-35:24). Over the last two decades, there has been a large shift toward greater prioritization of eco-civilization and environmental protection in China. This transition is at the intersection of environmental, political, and economic change. Pollution began to be seen as a governance and social stability problem. Regarding the shifting geopolitics and the changing relationship between the US and China, the level of respect towards China has gradually changed throughout Wang's experience over the past three decades. Globally, China has taken on a much more substantial leadership role, and power in the global system has shifted away from the United States and the single dominant player. Politics, energy security, and economic opportunities played a large role in China's investment into green technologies, where they are now dominating the supply chain (35:25-53:47). Wang covers the human rights story, symbolic politics versus implementation, and the issue of achieving climate goals in light of economic consequences (53:48-56:41). The US and China may be in competition for the foreseeable future, so maybe this competition can be socially beneficial. But is it an open question whether this proxy battle will be enough to fuel serious decarbonization (56:42-1:04:59).
Becoming VFX supervisor on HBO's The Last of Us has fulfilled a lifelong dream for movie and game fan Alex Wang. In this podcast, Alex tells Chris about his journey to this hugely prestigious position via his work on movies including The Day After Tomorrow, Sin City, Tron: Legacy, Deadpool, Fast & Furious 8, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Dominion, and Terminator: Dark Fate. Alex also shares some of the key lessons he's learned throughout his career, including whether it's better to work on animation or VFX, how working in-house compares to being employed by a studio, and the benefits of technical versus artistic knowledge. Chris and Alex also discuss the growing prevalence of AI in the VFX industry.
Enacted in 2021, China's National Carbon Market based on tradable performance standard, was promoted as a new effort to engage with international climate policy. It's too early to assess the emissions reduction impact of the so-called biggest carbon market in the world. Despite of the essential differences of market design, contextual institutions and the mild effects of the California's system in delivering carbon emissions reduction and environmental justice, Professor Alex Wang of UCLA School of Law explains why China may still learn from California's Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Program. In this episode, the discussion also touches the new direction of climate policy in the context of EU Green Deal and U.S. Inflation Reduction Act. Professor Wang shares his opinion on the academic exchange challenges facing scholars from both U.S. and China.

For much of 2022, the entire planet has been struggling to cope with extreme weather events, ranging from brutal heatwaves and severe droughts in some regions to record rainfall and catastrophic flooding in others. Despite this, in early August, Beijing suspended ongoing U.S.-China talks on climate change in response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan. While some climate experts have argued that what matters most in the fight to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is for the United States and China to take action domestically, the suspension of talks represents a shift in the effort to shield the climate agenda from geopolitics and has implications for the ability of each country, and the world, to meet essential reduction targets. In conversation with Alex Wang on November 1, 2022, Michael Davidson and Joanna Lewis discuss the significance of the downturn in U.S.-China relations on multilateral climate action. 2:22 How will U.S.-China tensions affect COP27? 6:24 How important is U.S.-China cooperation to global climate action? 9:18 Can the U.S. and China cooperate after COP27? 15:00 Will U.S.-China competition benefit or harm climate action efforts? 25:30 How can the U.S. support domestic climate action initiatives? 30:38 Why is energy security so important?

With COP26 set to kick off at the end of the week and President Xi's attendance looking unlikely, we were joined by three experts for a panel discussion on China's efforts to combat climate change - and what a successful COP 26 would look like. All three panellists have worked closely with China on climate change. Former Climate Change Secretary Amber Rudd led the UK's delegation at COP15 in Paris, Isabel Hilton founded the influential ChinaDialogue, and Alex Wang is a Professor at UCLA and Faculty Co-Director of the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, having previously worked for an American NGO in China. The discussion touched on China's long-term attitude to climate change, the effectiveness of Western pressure and the false dichotomy between cooperation and competition. The three panellists also discussed how China and the West's standing with lower-income countries could shape the outcome of the Glasgow summit. Read the full transcript here on our website.

Artificial intelligence can seem like automated magic, but it takes an army of human data labelers to do the trick. Their work may appear monotonous, but Scale CEO Alex Wang, says that for many around the world, it’s a welcome opportunity. “It’s really hard for us being in America to fully grasp this, but around the world the reality is in a lot of areas there are really, really poor employment opportunities. . . . as our platform scales and as the Internet scales in the world, many, many people are getting access to jobs and employment opportunities when otherwise they simply wouldn’t.” Get email updates about new episodes.

China has declared “war on pollution” with several new environmental laws and the willingness to take action against climate change. Awareness of the severe and lingering environmental problems in China is increasing, both domestically and externally. Does this truly mean that China will finally take meaningful, active steps to combat air, water and land pollution, or are the initiatives merely aspirational with other issues continuing to take precedence despite much promising rhetoric? In this podcast, Myanna Dellinger interviews three law professors with unique insight into Chinese environmental law and its potential enforcement. Joseph W. Dellapenna is a Professor of Law at Villanova Law School. His research focuses on water management (national and international) and international and comparative law. He has previously taught at several universities in the United States and abroad. He is the only person ever to be a Fulbright Senior Lecturer in Law in both the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of China. Professor Dellapenna has also served as a consultant to numerous private entities and foreign governments, including the World Bank, the Harry S. Truman Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the People’s Republic of China, as well as the Republic of China. Professor Dellapenna lived for two years in China and still returns several times a year for professional purposes. He lived in China for two years and speaks Mandarin. Joel A. Mintz is a Professor of Law at Nova Southeastern Law Center where he has taught courses related to environmental law since 1983. Before entering academia, Professor Mintz was an enforcement attorney and chief attorney with the EPA in Chicago and Washington, D.C. Widely viewed as one of the nation’s leading legal academic experts on environmental enforcement, Joel Mintz has testified before the United States Congress on the subject and published three books and numerous book contributions and law review articles regarding it. Professor Mintz is also the author or co-author of six other books regarding environmental law, sustainability, and municipal debt financing. He is a recipient of several awards for his work as an attorney, teacher and scholar. He is also an elected member of the American Law Institute and a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation. Alex Wang is an Assistant Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law. His research focuses on Chinese law, politics, and environmental regulation. Professor Wang previously served as senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in Beijing and as the founding director of NRDC’s China Environmental Law & Governance Project. In this capacity, he worked with China’s government agencies, legal community, and environmental groups to improve the environmental rule of law and strengthen the role of the public in environmental protection. He helped to establish NRDC’s Beijing office in 2006. He was a Fulbright Fellow to China from 2004-05. Professor Wang was a fellow of the National Committee on United States-China Relations (2008-10) and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Advisory Board to the Asia Society’s Center on U.S.-China Relations.

Talk by Alex Wang, UCLA Law School
Dr. Alex Wang, Sachin Desai, and Jisung Park discuss prospects for balancing environmental protection and economic growth in China.
Red Alert: China Time, China Scale Peter Greenwood, Executive Director of Strategy, China Light and Power Group Stephen Leeb, Co-author, Red Alert Alex Wang, Visiting Professor, UC Berkeley School of Law Julian Wong, Attorney, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati; Former Advisor, U.S. Department of Energy The four China watchers assembled for this Climate One panel debate the motives for, and the implications of, China’s domestic climate action, particularly its abundant clean energy investments. Stephen Leeb, co-author, Red Alert, is the panel’s contrarian. “I don’t think China does anything with the world’s interest at hand; I think they do everything with China’s interest at hand. Climate change is very much a mixed bag for them. Much more important to them is the issue of resource scarcity.” Leeb was suspicious of the intent of China’s renewable energy investments. China, he says, aims to control the solar market to the detriment of foreign players, including the United States. Julian Wong, an attorney with Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, agrees with Leeb, up to a point. Yes, energy is a pivotal issue in China’s economic growth, he says, and scarcity issues are “high in the minds of China’s leaders.” He also cites the increasing importance of environmental protection in preventing unrest. “Ultimately, this Communist Party is in power as long as the people allow it to be. If you are getting protests by citizens, by residents, on very fundamental needs, that’s going to get the attention of leaders.” Alex Wang, a visiting professor at the UC Berkeley School of Law, emphasizes the importance of the environmental protest movement, citing events this summer at a chemical plant in the city of Dalian and at facilities operated by Jinko Solar. “People are getting more wealthy. They are getting better educated about environmental issues, and they realize that is impacting their health, their children’s health,” he says. Counter to Stephen Leeb, Peter Greenwood, Executive Director of Strategy, China Light and Power Group, says we should vaunt not vilify China’s investments in wind and solar. “It’s not actually, necessarily, a bad story for the rest of the world. Wind turbine prices have fallen in the last couple of years by about 20%. A lot of that is due to the efficiency and scale of Chinese manufacturing,” he says. “What does that do? It means that wind projects that were previously uneconomical become economical. Sites that were previously not feasible become feasible. Subsidies that might otherwise have to be paid by Western and other governments can perhaps operate at lower levels. That’s a beneficial story.” This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on October 12, 2011
