AI for Humanity: Knowledge Production and the Reorganization of Humanities Scholarship

The 2026 Fangtang Forum included “AI for Humanity: Knowledge Production in the Age of AI and the Reorganization of Humanities Scholarship” as a thematic direction. As AI participates in knowledge production, how the humanities organize research, formulate questions, and retain their critical capacity becomes an important concern.

The issue is not one of replacing humanities scholarship with AI. It asks how humanistic inquiry can rethink its methods, collaboration, and public significance as technological conditions change.
