Abstract:

1. A short summary will be given of the Bloomberg Article ("AI Will Upend A Basic Assumption About How Companies Are Organized" by Azeem Azhar.

2. The workshop will continue with a short video 3 minutes long about "Artificial intelligence Translation Machines" and speculations about the future of human translators followed by the latest DeepSeek video less than 1 minute) advertisement on WeChat.

3. The session will conclude with a thought-provoking cartoon that encapsulates the ethical and existential questions surrounding the role of AI in our future.

4. The aim is to engage the audience in a 60-minute interactive exploration and encouraging them to think critically about the profound implications of AI development.

5. By the end of the workshop, hope participants will have grappled with the unsettling yet vital question: Who will win the battle between AI and the human brain?

6. Alternatively, could we imagine a hybrid future - a synthesis of human and artificial intelligence – where individuals, are born with neural architectures with large language models (LLMs) such as DeepSeek integrated into their brains?

7. The cartoon's final line, "We can't build an AI more powerful than #4, so we'll just have to take its word for it!" is a poignant reminder of the ethical and philosophical dilemmas we face. The accompanying Chinese character for "death" (死) underscores the gravity of these considerations, urging us to tread carefully as we navigate the intersection of humanity and artificial intelligence.

8. My personal summary of the Bloomberg article which is an essential basis for the WS is short: Can the existing LLMs achieve these following skis?

(1) Creativity, Innovative Thinking, Creating NEW Questions/Problems

(2) Cross-field Thinking, Interdisciplinary, Integrating Different Views

(3) Emotional Intelligence, Cultural Understanding
