At the 2026 Yabulu Forum Annual Meeting held from March 17 to 19 in Yabulu, Heilongjiang, Xiqi AJ, founder of Path to AGI, delivered a speech addressing the field of artificial intelligence.

She noted that with the vast amount of knowledge available, many people feel unsure where to begin learning about AI. Xiqi AJ emphasized that when studying AI, it is essential to focus on the latest developments rather than older materials. There is no need to start from the very beginning—for example, by reading "A Brief History of AI" or tracing back to foundational figures like Turing.

She said, "I often see highly knowledgeable speakers start from the basics, like explaining the history of AI or how computers operate. But that's not necessary. Begin directly with the newest technologies and hands-on practice—that way, you can catch up quickly."
