The 2026 Annual Meeting of the Yabuli Forum was held in Yabuli, Heilongjiang Province, from March 17 to 19. Xiji AJ, the initiator of the Path to AGI initiative, stated that the AI era represents the best time for liberal arts students. She explained that as technical barriers lower, content becomes king, and the ability to tell compelling stories is highly valued. However, she emphasized that true learning comes from hands-on experience, or "learning by doing."

She offered advice to young people: focus on learning new skills rather than old ones and actively embrace the present. "If you don't learn the tools available now, you will quickly fall behind as technology advances, and there will be no point in learning them later," she remarked.
