Cai Guo-Qiang

Perhaps AI Tai is that rash, clumsy boy Tai.

People often assume that I like fireworks, but what I really like are explosions.

I like their energy and magic.

Over the years, the goal of my Gunpowder creations has never been political, but their results do carry political significance.

At a recent Nobel Prize event, I said, using explosions to create beauty rather than warfare and violence provides a sliver of hope for our shared human future.

Gunpowder helped me set my timid personality and liberate myself in a repressive society.

Its uncertainty makes me both uneasy and exhilarated.

That's similar to my interactions with AI.

The unknown and uncontrollable aspects of AI are indeed unsettling.

But today, as contemporary art seems weak and conservative,

I hope that AI can help me unleash creativity, transcending the current dimensions of human cognition.

Can AI reveal heavenly secrets and open a door to inter-species civilizations for us?

If the disruptive nature of gunpowder can bring hope to people through the beauty of explosions,

Then, can the unsettling power of AI do the same, bringing hope to mankind's future by expanding the unknown world?

I'm always at the beginning of the next great journey.

Thank you, everyone.

And thank you, AI.
