上周五我向访问华盛顿特区的中国律师代表团发表关于人工智能法律工具的演讲。OpenAI近日的戏剧性变化让此预先计划好的演讲出乎意料地及时。OpenAI对首席执行官山姆·阿尔特曼（Sam Altman）的解雇和重新聘用引发了大家深入讨论这些工具所带来的机会和担忧。就中国而言，中国领导层可能会得出这样的结论：这些工具带来的机会大于担忧，并会采取一些可以直接帮助开发更可靠的人工智能法律工具的措施，而这些措施可间接为该国带来有效的法律改革。Read more

Long before the emergence of AI chatbots, China had already prioritized the development of AI, resulting in the promulgation of pioneering legislation to boost foreign investment.
