China’s “eight major steps” create new opportunities for Belt and Road cooperation: report.

Infrastructure is the operational system that regulates energy, activity and motion. Specifically infrastructure regulates the dynamics of energy. Infrastructure is scalar and instrumental, so in the universal dynamics (of variation, mass, motion, information and evolution), for example, the infrastructure, is dimension.

In infrastructure run energy, mass and motion so the regulation is technical. Yet infrastructure and regulation is also legal, technological, ecological and economic. Finally infrastructure is relational, organisational and especially conditional (structural, formative, functional, systematic and above all dynamic).

So much about theory of the topic, yet in practice infrastructure and regulation are conditions of investment, development and growth. The reason is the regulation and infrastructure, providence for business opportunity, investment risk and reward management and so in the economics of investment. Finally, in the dynamics of the economics of capital, energy, resources, finance, administration. For this reason, infrastructure and regulation are practical, utilitarian and instrumental devices, for service and management of power and control, for public and private opportunity for profit, interest and benefit (via technology, economy and ecology).

On infrastructure (operational system) run business, trade, transport, exchange, interaction, transaction, information and communication. The network form is typical of infrastructure, organisation fabric.

The Belt and Road Initiative is signature infrastructure project for China and for continental utility, development and growth.

Accordingly the BRI is indeed expected to see higher levels of cooperation, greater investment returns, improved supply quality and enhanced development resilience. For the said reason BRI has the infrastructure potential to become a cornerstone in the construction of an open world economy, a driving force for collective development and an accelerator of global modernisation.

The Silk Road connected historically, East and West intercontinental worlds, economies and civilisations. On the Silk Road run goods carriers for transport, trade and and exchange. There also run information and so communication and exchanges, of tangible facts and practices and intangible theories, principles and ideas.

“Green”, “digital” become key themes in new phase of BRI development.

The green and digital attributes underscore the ecological and technological attributes of the BRI project. Both are fundamentally economic (relational, organisational and conditional). This is paramount for national and intercontinetal investment, economic development, growth, appreciation, and value denomination, specifically in the management of business and investment finance, for profit, benefit and the control of cost.

The world and in fact the universe are existential and evolutionary (transformative) systems of systematic layers for energy organisation and management.

Utility for private and public facility and service, is the key driver for opportunities in real management for potential interaction, business development and commercial transaction.

Therefore the construction of the Digital Silk Road will indeed not only promote comprehensive cooperation and exchanges between countries and regions but also effectively narrow the “digital divide,” helping BRI partner countries build a community with a shared future in cyberspace and enabling them to share the benefits of digital technology for a brighter future.

Xinhua Headlines: Global media leaders gather in Xinjiang to navigate AI’s transformative impact.

The opportunities and challenges brought about by AI revolve around the central information and communication issue.

Essentially, this issue revolves around interaction (relation), reproduction (organisation) and jointly, condition.

The central initiation issue for AI, is the relation between the producer / programmer and the user / consumer. This relation regulates the economic exchange and the commercial success of it. This relation is for utility, facility and exploitation for either side and between the parties to the transaction equation.

The AI relation is moral, ethical and legal. More that this, the AI relation is fundamentally commercial, economic and financial and above all, highly technological and programmatic.

Program and modelling is key across the IT and AI board. More so in generative large language models used in information and communication applications and devices.

The man – machine relation is instrumental and utilitarian. Program regulates the dynamics of either side. For the programers and producers, this is the story for success, straight, simple and sincere.

In fact there is no “Collingridge dilemma,” complexity or quandary between the need for development and the imperative of governance in order to harness AI for the betterment of humanity. Other than the standard test which is rapid if not immediate in the service, instrumentation and utility of the AI devices. The technology test is hard, real, potential and practical as it is for every device, system, function and work, manual, mechanical or electronic / digital. Especially in the IT and AI information and communication devices.

The test is technological, economic and ecological, moral, ethical and legal but it is also social and political. The test is also utilitarian and instrumental, management, authority, administration, service and control.

The experimental or other bets, against technology, economy and ecology are consigned to (expensive) failure and loss, for the profound realistic, fashionable and fascinating, reasons.

Beyond legal and commercial terms, on the politics of AI, it is reminded that the world, humanity and civilisation are already full and fed up of crises, economic, technological and ecological and security, in the verge of catastrophe.

Technology is the solution not a problem.
