The 2026 Fangtang Forum included AI epistemology as a thematic direction, asking what it means for machines to “know.” As AI enters processes of knowing, the formation and reliability of knowledge, as well as the place of human judgment, require renewed examination.
The discussion returns epistemological questions to the concrete development of AI: when machines participate in generating, organizing, and processing knowledge, how should people discern their capacities, limits, and responsibilities?
