Topic: As AI Continues to Grow More Intelligent, What Skills Are Most Important for Humans to Develop?
In the face of the rapid development of AI, how should we respond?
As algorithms increasingly dominate our lives, how we maintain independent thinking, preserve our humanity, and nurture the next generation’s ability to harness technology rather than be defined by it has become a central concern for every parent and educator.
Whether you are an educator, a parent or an explorer with a curiosity about the future, this cross-disciplinary dialogue blending philosophy, technology and art is sure to offer you fresh insights.
