WHAT THEY SAY?

“We’re not aiming to make machines human, but to make them understand humans, think like humans and do things humans cannot... AI should not replace us, but free us, better understand us and serve us well.” 　

“Key environmental factors in a student’s development, from school to family and peers, all influence their reliance on mobile phones. When students are under psychological pressure, lack emotional support or feel insecure, they tend to overuse phones to make up for what’s missing in real life. Phones become both a comfort and a shield against loneliness. If educators focus only on restricting phone use and neglect students’ mental well-being, strict controls may in fact trigger new psychological issues.” 　

“We can eliminate various exam subjects, but we cannot eliminate social competition. The intense competition for the zhongkao (high-school entrance exam) and gaokao (national college entrance exam) is essentially a prelude to broader social competition. As long as society remains fiercely competitive, the education system will inevitably reflect that.” 　

“The first stage of the competition in the new energy vehicle industry focused on electrification, an improvement on traditional cars. But the second stage, centered on integrating smart functions, is disruptive and moving much faster, perhaps in just two to three years. In the past, we measured progress by EV penetration. From this year on, we must look to advanced intelligent driving to push the industry’s high-quality development.” 　

“The knowledge, business models and algorithms we’ve developed should not be used to exploit society’s most vulnerable. Our profits, market value and wealth should never come at the cost of grassroots workers living without basic protections.”
