Nishan Dialogue explores more possibilities of artificial intelligence, where "traditional" and "emerging" meet the world | culture | tradition

The question of how to continue the spiritual treasure trove of traditional Chinese culture, which is a treasure trove of all humanity, and open it in a more acceptable way for modern people, is undoubtedly a highly realistic solution. From June 25 to 27, the Nishan Dialogue on Digital Civilization of the World Internet Conference will be held in Nishan, Qufu, Shandong. The theme of the dialogue is "the era of artificial intelligence: building a digital world of exchange, mutual learning and inclusiveness".
Promoting excellent traditional culture and taking over the baton handed over by predecessors is an important task entrusted by the times.
Rooted in the profound fertile soil of Chinese civilization, traditional Chinese culture carries a profound reflection on the common values of all humanity - our image as an open, inclusive, shared, win-win, and civilized great country, and our efforts to build a "community of shared future in the cyberspace" that is jointly built, beautiful, and shared, are largely a continuation of traditional culture.
Thanks to the development of the Internet, the world's entrance has become wider, and the AI industry has undergone profound changes. This is the general trend that does not shift with the will of someone. It should also be noted that as artificial intelligence becomes increasingly powerful, many people have also developed conceptual concerns.
The author of "A Brief History of Humanity", Yuval Herali, once pointed out that we are not only experiencing technological crises, but also philosophical crises. When technology has surpassed the times, any wild imagination can be confirmed, whether good or bad. Especially the risks and challenges faced by artificial intelligence, such as data privacy, security risks, technological bottlenecks, algorithmic limitations, and social ethics, have become urgent questions that need to be answered, triggering the thinking of the entire human race.
In the Internet era, no place is a closed island, and no one can deal with the risks and challenges brought by AI alone. In the rapidly changing context of development, in order for humans to deeply grasp the "technological variable" of artificial intelligence, more "toolboxes" need to be opened. The wisdom of Confucian culture has provided us with many substantive references: the self reflection of "pushing oneself and others", the wisdom of "harmony but difference", the realm of "harmony between heaven and man", and the tolerance of "benevolence and love for the people", which contain important inspirations for solving the problems faced by artificial intelligence.
From using intelligent robots as opponents in Chinese chess games, to using artificial intelligence technology to depict traditional Chinese culture... and experiencing the deep integration of artificial intelligence and traditional Chinese culture, we are more confident in the "beauty and harmony" between tradition and modernity. The English abbreviation for artificial intelligence is AI, which is exactly the same as the emphasis on "love" in Confucian culture represented by Nishan.
The Nishan Dialogue will focus on topics such as "building a safe and trustworthy artificial intelligence", "empowering thousands of industries with artificial intelligence", and "where human civilization is heading in the era of artificial intelligence", exploring the opportunities and challenges that artificial intelligence technology brings to human civilization. We believe that when "traditional" and "emerging" meet, we can explore more possibilities of artificial intelligence.
For modern people, making traditional culture and Confucian culture represented by Mount Nishan shine with the brilliance of the new era, a beneficial attempt of conceptual innovation is enough to lift a heavy burden lightly. It is an active exploration that "artificial intelligence" has become the key word in the Nishan Dialogue on Digital Civilization at the World Internet Conference.
The way of benefiting all things, keep up with the times. To explore and elucidate the excellent traditional Chinese culture, we need to strive for creative transformation and innovative development, and constantly keep up with the times. Mount Nishan is the birthplace of Confucius. In this beautiful and culturally rich land, and in the dialogue theme of "Building a Digital World of Communication, Mutual Learning, and Inclusion in the Age of Artificial Intelligence", we witness the meeting of the "past" and "future" here.
