Keynote speech: Emerging and Imagination-originated Reality

Wang Hailin, vice president of the Script Writer's Guild of China, film critic and screenwriter, has a keen eye for new things. He continued his humorous and sharp-toned approach to the metaverse and breakthroughs in new artificial intelligence technologies. He said, "What are the tools? It's an extension of the human organ, and part of the person. It's the same with machines and robots. Whether it's robots, AI or ChatGPT, they are all extensions of humanity, part of who we are. The thinking and decisions made by machines are ultimately human thinking and decisions. Today, with the continuous progress of interactive technology, the most important issue we should pay attention to is: how to let the digital space interact with the real world and realize the liberation of human spirit. While there will still be fierce collision, AI and ChatGPT can be constraints, and virtual space can be oppressive, it's also an opportunity. What is coming is not only a technological revolution, but also a spiritual revolution."
