Xi for Life? What Does It Mean for China and the World?
Rory Truex Assistant Professor of Politics and International Affairs, Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University Jointly sponsored by Princeton Area Alumni Association and the Association of Asian American Alumni of Princeton
Rory Truex's research focuses on Chinese politics and theories of authoritarian rule. His book Making Autocracy Work: Representation and Responsiveness in Modern China investigates the nature of representation in authoritarian systems, specifically the politics surrounding China's National People's Congress (NPC). He argues that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is engineering a system of “representation within bounds” in the NPC, fostering information revelation but silencing political activism. Original data on deputy backgrounds and behaviors is used to explore the nature of representation, policymaking, and incentives in this constrained system. His research on Chinese politics has been published in the American Political Science Review, Journal of Politics, Journal of Conflict Resolution, Comparative Political Studies, China Quarterly, and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Current projects explore how Chinese citizens evaluate their political system, the relationship between media bias and credibility in non-democracies, and patterns in dissident behavior and punishment.

“How AI is Empowering a Non-Collision Driving World: Possibilities, Limitations & Next Steps”
Speaker: Artur Filipowicz, Chief Technical Officer, Soterea
Since 2012, training of deep learning algorithms on large datasets using GPUs has powered another AI revolution. This combination of technologies has been applied, with various levels of success, to everything from driving to summarizing legal documents. What is behind this revolution? How can it make current vehicles safer? What is left to do for cars to be fully autonomous? While deep learning can solve some problems with perception and control, it introduces additional difficulties associated with data collection and testing. Soterea has been developing collision avoidance systems for commercial vehicles since 2014. Since that time, its systems have traveled more than 1 billion kilometers on over 100 different models of vehicles. Its CTO, Artur Filipowicz ’17, will explain how collision avoidance technologies and AI intersect and pave the way for autonomous vehicles. There will be ample time for Q & A, with priority given to viewer questions submitted in advance to: propellers@princetonaaa.org.
ZOOM LINK will be sent to the first 300 who register at propellers.princetonaaa.org
