When an AI-generated version of Confucius weighed in on modern commerce, he didn’t just talk profits—he invoked centuries-old wisdom. In a recent CGTN dialogue, AI-Confucius faced tough questions about balancing profit and principle in today's fast-paced market. Drawing on ancient teachings, he reminded entrepreneurs that profits must be earned righteously and serve the common good.
This digital discourse sets the stage for the Nishan Forum, taking place July 9–10 in Qufu, eastern Shandong Province on the Chinese mainland. The annual event brings together global thinkers, business and tech innovators, and policy changemakers to explore how traditional philosophies can inspire sustainable growth in the 21st century.
At the forum, sessions will pair data-driven insights with storytelling. Attendees will explore how core principles like treating others with respect can guide decisions in boardrooms and digital marketplaces—making ethics a strategic advantage.
For young global citizens and digital nomads eyeing emerging markets, the Nishan Forum offers a chance to connect real-world impact with time-tested values. Whether you’re a budding entrepreneur or a seasoned changemaker, AI-Confucius’s message is clear: ethical profit isn’t old-fashioned—it’s the future of business.
