Regole dell'IA e fondamenti di un impero digitale

China defines law in the digital age through a unique model that combines state control, Confucian ethics, and technological development. This study examines four key pillars: (1) the strategy to lead AI by 2030 by merging legal frameworks with technical standards (“law is code”); (2) a “people-centered” approach rooted in relationality and collective welfare; (3) the state’s dual role in regulating Big Tech, balancing support and restraint; and (4) adaptive governance of the infosphere through sector-specific rules (e.g., generative AI) that reconcile innovation with digital sovereignty. The analysis reveals a distinct paradigm that diverges from Western models, where technology and law serve geopolitical objectives, reshaping global power dynamics.
