Following the successful hosting of the 2025 lecture series themed around AI applications in medicine and healthcare, the "Smart Future" lecture series will continue in 2026. The content will be further expanded to focus on practical AI applications across more professional fields and their impact on society and individual development.
Over the past year, "Smart Future: AI Empowerment" centered on AI applications in medical diagnosis, clinical workflow optimization, and drug discovery. Invited experts from academia and industry shared their insights, receiving positive feedback from professionals and the public alike. Building on this foundation, the new 2026 season will transcend a single-industry perspective to systematically explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping financial markets, education systems, career development, and policy governance.
The planned 2026 lecture series will revolve around six major themes, including: trends and emerging opportunities in AI development, AI-assisted programming and data processing, AI applications in quantitative trading and financial markets, education and talent cultivation in the AI era, AI policy and global governance, and work patterns and human value in the context of AI. These themes are directed at professionals, entrepreneurs, educators, and relevant practitioners, aiming to foster rational, in-depth, and practically significant discussions.
The series organizers state that "Smart Future" is not merely about showcasing technical progress, but hopes to help professionals better understand how artificial intelligence changes decision-making methods, improves production efficiency, and redefines learning and career development paths through cross-disciplinary exchange.
The first forum of the 2026 "Smart Future" series will focus on AI applications in financial markets. The opening event is titled: Smart Future: AI Applications in the Financial Sector — Identifying Investable Signals in the Rapidly Changing Commodities Market. (See poster for details).
