Session 1: Restructuring Learning Paradigms in the Age of AI — From Knowledge Acquisition to Creative Generation

Location: West Lake State Guesthouse

AI is reshaping human learning mechanisms and the structure of knowledge systems, shifting education away from a knowledge-centered paradigm toward one driven by creative production and cognitive collaboration. This topic explores the tension between AI as a 'cognitive partner' versus an 'algorithmic supervisor,' and examines its implications for educational equity, privacy, and the evolving role of teachers. It also considers institutional and technological pathways for achieving knowledge democratization.

Panel: AI+Education - Yan Yuqing, Wang Wei, Liu Yuegang, Bella Ren, Zheng Haoyun, Sun Zhigang
