“Looking ahead, we are at a crossroads in learning how to live with AI. Young people need to understand AI, learn to use its vast knowledge and endless energy, and guide it to become a lifelong partner. From today to the future, rebuilding will be essential. Artificial intelligence will become an assistant for each of us. We encourage students to use AIGC to excel in the great challenge of modern creative writing and catch a glimpse of the future!”

Vice Dean of the School of Computer Science and Technology, East China Normal University
“The issue is not whether artificial intelligence will make some of our current jobs obsolete. Certainly it will! If AI can do something better, it should be done by AI. The question is, as humans, what will we do next? How will we use new tools, adapt to the new reality, and enhance our intelligence as AI takes over tasks, jobs, and roles that were previously exclusive to humans? This is the significance of this competition.”

“In an era where humans and AI coexist and work together, we don’t need to fear technological innovations. What matters isn’t just predicting how ‘job roles’ will change, but understanding our own strengths. AI relies heavily on the data it receives. If the information fed into AI for a particular viewpoint isn’t from primary sources, the opinions AI generates might be biased. Additionally, lacking sufficient data or having poor-quality data can greatly affect the accuracy and performance of AI’s results. Data bias can directly influence AI’s decisions, potentially leading to unfair outcomes or discrimination. Therefore, a wise and rational person should use AI to handle structural tasks but still apply their own logical judgment to evaluate the conclusions AI provides.”

“In today’s fast-paced world of technological advancements and constantly changing knowledge, using AI tools is never the main goal of learning but a way to achieve it. In education, when we talk about mastering technology instead of being replaced by it, and about using technology ethically and for good, we are thinking about how to ignite children’s curiosity. We want to help them move from just learning how to use technology to critically understanding it, and then using it to invent, create, achieve their dreams, and make a difference in the world.”

“Use your favorite AI tool to shape your role as a content creator. Decide whether the future will be AI for Media or Media for AI.”

“AI is not just a tool; it’s a partner that broadens our horizons and breaks down barriers, enabling us to understand the world in new and profound ways. Through this competition, participants will engage deeply with AI, experiencing the remarkable fusion of technology and the humanities. This isn’t just a writing contest; it’s an opportunity to explore future collaboration. I’m confident that this will inspire new ideas and limitless possibilities for academic research and professional practice.”
