As artifi cial intelligence reshapes global infrastructure\, China is rapidly establi shing one of the world’s most comprehensive regulatory frameworks for the t echnology. This panel concludes the 2026 China Law Symposium by examining the specific mechanisms of Chinese A I governance—from algorithm filing systems to the newly proposed "AI Law." Moving beyond general comparisons\, the discussion will analyze how these r egulations are being implemented on the ground\, their impact on cross-bord er development\, and how China's "experimentalist" regulatory approach cont rasts with European and American models. Reception will follow after the pa nel discussion.

itute of Law at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)\, is a key ar
