Jason Copeland

A veteran tech operator with a long view on AI in Silicon Valley and China.

Builder, not pundit. Knows the Valley from the inside and China from the ground.

Jason Copeland has spent more than twenty years building products in Silicon Valley. At Apple he launched iCloud and co-invented Find My iPhone. At AWS he led edge computer vision products, and he co-founded an AI chip company. Before the Valley, he lived and worked in China and Taiwan and studied Chinese history at Harvard. He now runs the Farallon Group, advising CEOs and CPOs on how to build great AI products, and advises startups at Stanford's StartX accelerator.

The U.S.-China AI competition is not a Cold War. He'll be talking about where the two countries actually compete, where they still depend on each other, and where they are building different kinds of AI for different ends. Most China-and-AI commentary comes from people who know one side. Jason has built in the Valley and lived in China.

You'll take away: a working map of U.S.-China AI and a view into what China is actually building, why it differs from the U.S. approach, and how that split will shape tools, rules, and markets for the next decade.
