Author: Zhao Zhijiang
Focusing on the opportunities and challenges brought by AI to human civilization, the World Internet Conference "Nishan Dialogue" on digital civilization will be held in Qufu, Jining, Shandong Province from June 25 to 27. The theme of the conference is "The Age of AI: Building a Digital World of Exchange, Mutual Learning and Inclusion".
As the top event of global Internet development, the World Internet Conference has been held for nine consecutive sessions in Wuzhen, Zhejiang. This "Nishan Dialogue" is the first thematic international conference held by the conference. If artificial intelligence foreshadows the future development direction of humanity, Mount Nishan in Shandong records the glorious history of excellent traditional Chinese culture - it is the birthplace of Confucius and the birthplace of Confucianism.
"We have gone so far that we forget why we started." Artificial intelligence is still in its infancy, and technology has never had such a profound impact on human life, nor has it ever truly made people feel fearful: when "technology changes life" becomes a perceptible reality, how can we uphold the principle and bottom line of "technology for good"? Faced with new risks and challenges brought about by the uncertainty of artificial intelligence technology, how to gather wisdom from all directions and seek the governance of digital civilization?
Exploring the forms in which artificial intelligence will promote the development of human civilization, promoting all parties to better explore the historical and cultural values in the digital age, strengthening international cultural exchanges and cooperation, opening up new paths for the development of artificial intelligence technology, and jointly promoting the progress of human civilization... Crossing the sky of history, the "Nishan Dialogue" is a collision between tradition and modernity, as well as the integration of technology and culture.
In today's world, digital technology is fully integrated into various fields and processes of human society, and artificial intelligence has become an important symbol of human civilization progress. At the same time, if digital technology loses its norms and constraints, it may become a Pandora's Box, posing a threat and disaster to the real society. Therefore, "building a secure and trustworthy artificial intelligence" is an important topic of this forum. Only on this basis can we achieve "AI empowering thousands of industries", and explore "where human civilization is heading in the era of artificial intelligence", focusing on digital civilization leading future development.
Another highlight of this event is the extensive establishment of communication and cooperation platforms: launching a thematic discussion on "Jointly Welcoming the Opportunities and Challenges of Digital Cooperation: Confidence and Recovery"; Building an AI public welfare platform to promote the formation of AI public welfare concepts; Holding digital cultural exhibitions and promoting digital technology to light up the lamp of civilization... The rapid development of technology has created a richer interactive experience for cultural and artistic expression. Relying on the humanistic core of culture and art can not only make life more tense, but also make technology more warm.
Chinese civilization has outstanding continuity, creativity, unity, inclusiveness, and peace. Starting from the "Nishan Dialogue", using modern digital technology to promote innovative expression of traditional culture, empowering high-quality development of modern technology with excellent traditional culture, can fully utilize artificial intelligence as a "technological variable", achieve the integration of tradition and modernity, and usher in a new era of digital civilization.
