On September 28th, the Nishan Forum on World Civilizations 2026 and the International Confucian Culture Festival of China opened in Qufu city, located in Shandong province in eastern China.
As part of this event, artificial intelligence technology was used to pose a contemporary question to the great Chinese philosopher. Thanks to the Ask Confucius product, an interactive AI tool from CGTN, participants were able to engage in a dialogue with the master across the temporal barrier.
