Symbiosis of Digital Intelligence and Humanity: How to Enhance Cultural Strength of the GBA?

On May 21, the Forum on Building up China's Cultural Strength 2026 raised its curtain in Shenzhen, South China's Guangdong Province, providing a dazzling, vibrant cultural feast for the nation and beyond. 

As a flagship event under the Forum on Building up China's Cultural Strength 2026, the Forum on Enhancing the Cultural Strength of the Greater Bay Area in the Age of Digital Intelligence officially convenes on May 22. Through diverse, in-depth discussions, this profound cultural gathering reflects a deeper strategic shift: Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao are moving beyond economic integration toward true cultural and spiritual symbiosis, where shared humanistic identity becomes the anchor of the region's future. 

The forum's theme stares directly into the AI era. The core message it hopes to send is loud and clear: digital intelligence is the tool, and humanity is the soul. That means the challenge is to let technology serve people, not the other way around. In a time when AI is rewriting creativity, cognition, and culture, how can the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area ensure that cutting-edge technology amplifies, rather than erodes, our humanistic foundations?  

Now let's hear from six distinguished guests of the forum to gain deeper insights into the way forward.
