Huawei, 5G, and the China-US Technology Race

March 7, 2023
7:00pm-9:30pm (Eastern Time)
Online via Zoom
Join Pitt NCTA for an investigation of the competition between the US and China in the sphere of cyber technology. From TikTok to Huawei to Artificial Intelligence, we will explore the current state of the field and consider what the future may hold. In addition to looking at cyber technology, we will also investigate how this competition between the US and China impacts society, government, economics, and international relations.
Participants in the program will be better equipped to share contemporary cyber-related case studies as they teach history, technology, government, sociology, and current events. Participants can also choose to receive a complimentary copy of Kai-Fu Lee, AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order (Mariner Books) after the program. All participants will receive a certificate of completion. Pennsylvania teachers will receive Act 48 hours for this program.
