Am 29.09.2023 veranstaltet das Kölner Asienhaus eine interessante Veranstaltung im Hybridformat, allerdings leider über ZOOM.
As protests are erupting in China Westerners can be reminded that China is not a quiet country. In different Chinese cities people marched organised against the government policies.
The article „Soziale Kontrolle 4.0? Chinas Social Credit Systems“ (Social control 4.0? China’s Social Credit Systems), first published in „Blättern für deutsche und internationale Politik“ , was translated into French and published in „La Revue nouvelle“. The translator is Geneviève Warland.
In her talk Weizenbaum Fellow Katika Kühnreich will speak about past and present attempts of (digital) social control or „social management” in China.
For more than a year China’s efforts to build so-called social credit systems have become a widely discussed topic. In her talk Katika Kühnreich will speak about past and present attempts of (digital) social control or „social management” in China and about political programs of and influences of China’s Communist Party. The Chinese government’s current plans to construct social credit systems and the inclusion of data collected by governmental agencies as well as private sectors are often criticized by Western media.
However, the foundations of the programs are rarely mentioned. By reflecting on the consequences of these programs and their central players the talk will highlight the role of a communist party as a leader in social regulation via datafication and its relationship with Confucianism. Taking a look at the past of China’s government programs, their implications as well as at the situation of social regulation in the West, this talk discusses important implications of datafication and quantification for social regulation and social control from a comparative perspective.
China’s Social Credit Systems
I had the great honour to present my talk on China’s Social Credit Systems on the 2017th Chaos Communication Congress (34C3) in Leipzig, Germany. It was the first time I gave that talk and it was great being at the Chaos Computer Club’s annual conference.
With „Gamified Control – China’s Social Credit Systems“ I am invited to deliver the keynote on this years „ML Conference – The Conference for Machine Learning Innovation“ in Munich. Gamified Control meets machine learning developers.
