In an era where artificial intelligence is reshaping our world, ancient philosophies like Confucianism are providing fresh insights. The Confucian concept of “he,” which signifies harmony, might hold the key to addressing modern challenges such as resource scarcity and international tensions.
Wang Jian, a thought leader influenced by Confucian teachings, believes that the vast amounts of data generated by humanity can be viewed as a natural resource. “We can build a harmonious relationship with data rather than fear it,” he suggests.
By embracing harmony with data, we can more effectively share and utilize it, fostering better cooperation between nations and communities. This approach promotes a balance between humanity and nature, and bridges the gap between technology and the world.
As AI continues to evolve, integrating Confucian principles could help create a more equitable and united global society. By seeking harmony, we not only enhance technological advancement but also ensure it benefits all of humanity.
