There's a growing backlash against AI worldwide. In China this is reflected in daily life by the sense of precarity felt by workers. There's a deep unease at the speed of technological disruption that's reflected in culture, online life, and a collective nostalgia — much of which is likely familiar to many people in North America. We talk to journalist Yi-Ling Liu, the author of the book "The Wall Dancers: Searching for Freedom & Connection on the Chinese Internet" about how people in China are responding to AI — and the parallels between the Chinese and American experience of AI.
