WASHINGTON, USA – In Season 7, Episode 3 of Global Taiwan Insights, Ben Sando interviews Dr Brett Benson, Associate Professor of Political Science at Vanderbilt University, on his groundbreaking research into Chinese companies selling mass surveillance services to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Using leaks from two Chinese firms—Golaxy and Geedge—Benson has shed light on a private industry leveraging artificial intelligence to conduct massive surveillance of citizens in China, Taiwan, the United States, and around the world.
Dr Benson discusses how such Chinese companies are not only marketing their services to the CCP, but also to authoritarian governments beyond China’s borders.
