Navigating the Digital-Intelligence Wave: How Should We Read?

Ahead of China’s 2025 National Reading Day, a survey by China Youth Daily revealed 89.9% of young respondents believe reading remains crucial despite AI’s rise. At an innovation forum, educators and media explored AI’s role in reshaping ideological education and digital reading ecosystems. Universities highlighted AI tools like virtual counselors and personalized book recommendations, while “youth bookstores” expanded into cultural hubs blending tradition with tech. Concerns over fragmented AI-driven reading were noted, but experts urged deep, critical engagement with texts. Initiatives like AI-powered ideological and political education case studies and a railway “bookstore-on-wheels” project were launched to foster youth development and cross-cultural dialogue.
