做人工智能时代的“六边形战士”

——盘古智库2026新年献词

2025年落幕，21世纪就走过了四分之一。人生百年的四分之一，是最富憧憬和活力的年纪。一个世纪的四分之一，则往往是动荡与变革的节点。

2025年，见证了世界太多变化，在地区战争延宕、大国竞争深化、全球经济低迷、民粹主义四溢的表像之下，是新旧问题的复杂交织，是一些人和国的欲念满盈却又张皇失措。

世界站在失序与分化的关口，唯有中国一张蓝图绘到底，以“十五五”锁定高质量发展的未来。不是没有承压和干扰，但果断有力的应对和思谋深远的布局起到拨云见日的作用，促成了竞争与博弈的攻守易势。

只是，国家的强势发展与人民的普遍繁荣尚未划上等号，还存在阶层下坠和规模性返贫的隐患，在稳预期、挽信心、反内卷、降风险等方面要做可做的事情很多。必须用事实效果告诉世界，中国是个内外兼修、表里均强的经济体。

我们每个人都在尽绵薄之力参与对时代样貌的塑造，我们所处的时代也在塑造我们的命运。对每个个体而言，重要的是在充满变化的时代以一种相对积极的自洽确立自我价值。

机会总是留给善于观察、思考和学习的人，而当今时代的最大机会在于技术与产业的结合。

当人工智能（AI）如洪流般奔涌而至，技术革命与产业变革的浪潮正以前所未有的规模和速度重塑世界，改变着生产力与生产关系、生活与学习方式、全球供应链运行模式，以及国家实力排行。

未来财富的密码就藏在“十五五”规划建议那句话里：“推动量子科技、生物制造、氢能和核聚变能、脑机接口、具身智能、第六代移动通信等成为新的经济增长点。”

一切都在以迅雷不及掩耳之势进行。也许再有不到一年，人工智能的“奇点时刻”就会到来，围绕AI技术将会形成完整的产业生态。也许再过不到十年，通用人工智能（AGI）就将出现，技术应用场景也会以我们难以预料的广度和深度扩展。

“事机一失应难再,时乎时乎不我待”。我们要行动起来，做人工智能时代的“六边形战士”，至于“六边”是指哪些能力，AI助手提供如下参考答案：

一是‌数字素养与数据能力。收集、清洗和整理数据，是AI模型训练的基础性技能。未来，谁能够娴熟运用数据分析工具解读数据，并通过可视化手段呈现分析结果，谁便能坐稳各种“AI+”行业发展的潮头。

二是‌批判性思维与问题解决能力。AI将会投喂海量信息，而人的优势在于独立分析和判断，能对AI提供的信息和建议做出甄别，并且面对复杂问题，结合AI技术提出创新性的解决方案。‌

三是‌创造力与创新思维。AI可以模仿、可以思考，但可能永远无法替代人类进行有温度的创造。人必须成为利用AI创造新世界的“掌控者”，未来最具潜力的工作属于那些需要运用创造力来解决问题的岗位。

四是‌人际交往与联结能力。在全球化背景下与来自不同文化背景的人有效沟通，在AI项目中与技术、业务等方面人员充分协作。

五是‌自主学习与适应性能力。具备终身学习意识，时刻关注AI领域最新动态和技术趋势，不断更新自己的知识体系，掌握新的技术和工具。

六是道德和伦理观念。对AI输出保持价值校准和伦理过滤能力，确保AI技术的使用符合社会道德和法律规范，并在AI应用中对自己的决策和行为负责。

我们要把AI培养成事业线上的得力助手，以把自己的双手解放出来，有更多时间和精力思考大问题，进行更高层面的创作、创造与创新。

我们要用技术帮助人、服务人，而不是用技术控制人、欺骗人，这应是每一个从业者坚守的信条。技术向善，归根结底是掌握技术的人要向善。

盘古智库是较早举腿迈入人工智能时代的社会机构，2016年就曾系统调研国际先进经验，发布《中国创新创业加速器发展战略思路及具体建议》报告，提出“人工智能引领的战略性新兴产业孵化核心”。

2022年，易鹏理事长提出“新大航海时代”理念，认为人工智能、物联网、区块链和生物技术等前沿科技正引领人类驶向知识的未知领域，探索着商业、社会乃至整个人类文明的新边疆。

2025年，易鹏理事长又提出“灵识社会”概念，指导发布《迈入灵识社会：超越知识与见识的认知跃迁》报告，强调随着AI技术的深度渗透，必须重新思考人类应当发展怎样的认知能力，才能保持自我主体性与未来引领力这一根本性问题。

这是一篇跨科学、技术、生物、经济、哲学、心理领域的大成之作，既体现了盘古智库对科技革命与产业变革的全情拥抱，也反映了盘古智库对自由王国的精神追求。

2025年，盘古智库以“AI+”赋能产业升级和社会治理为业务主轴，为国家以及各行各业的高质量、可持续发展提供智力支持。

基于广泛深入的实地考察，撰写发布了“建设中国大腹地”主题系列报告（《打造内循环主平台》《大力推进内陆运河建设》《布局国家实验室与重大创新平台》），以及《中国汽车企业“战国七雄”时代将至——全球汽车工业进程与国内汽车产业发展预测》《27座万亿之城，谁又称得上“耐心资本城市”》《31省区市与GDP前50城的增长密码》《中国算力能耗研究报告暨2030年发展预测》《从“就业”走向“乐业”：AI时代就业认知变革》等专题报告，为国家的“十五五”规划提供决策参考。

盘古AIGC超创者内容创作大赛（2025GIS＆AURA灵光AIGC创作大赛）业已面向全球正式启动，这是盘古智库积极参与深港科技协同创新的重要举措。

盘古智库在其他领域的努力没有停歇，老龄社会研究院以“聚焦银发经济、赋能银创企业”为宗旨，通过峰会论坛、专题研究、生态合作等举措，形成更加完整的“理论研究—实践探索—资源对接”学术生态链，《中国银发经济市场与投资赛道66条（2025）》报告是最新成果。

2025年，盘古智库成为工信部“中小企业出海服务联盟”首批副理事长单位，入选“中国智库综合评价2025年AMI智库”，“搭建老龄社会30人论坛研究机制，激活银发经济发展新动能”获评2025年中国特色新型智库建设十年回顾特色案例。

新的一年，盘古智库将在AI+产业和社会赋能赛道上以更加昂扬的姿态奔跑，前瞻布局未来产业，探索多元技术路线、典型应用场景、可行商业模式，围绕政府、地方、企业、社会层面的急难愁盼议题做出更专业化人性化的分析判断，拿出更务实有用的咨询建议，就像《迈入灵识社会》报告结尾处写着的：灵识社会不是一个答案，而是我们共同提出的新问题；“它不是终点，而是一次更深层次的出发”。

我们正身处新一轮科技革命与产业变革的“漫江碧透，百舸争流”阶段，很快就到“千帆阅尽，巨轮出海”之时。值此新年到来之际，盘古智库与大家共勉，期待与你一起不断学习、持续更新，以同登巨轮，共阅沧海连天的时代美景。

Become an Unbeatable “Hexagon Warrior” in the AI Era

—The Pangoal Institution’s 2026 New Year’s Message

As 2025 draws to a close, we are bidding farewell to the first quarter of the 21st century. Measured against a person’s lifespan, the first quarter is the blossoming of promise and vitality; while measured against the scale of a century, it is often marked by turbulence and transformation.

The year 2025 saw momentous changes. Prolonged regional conflicts, intensified international rivalries, a sluggish global economy, and the rise of populism—legacy and emerging issues present a complex knot that is only the tip of the iceberg. Beneath the surface lies the unchecked expansion of greed and the disguised anxieties of various countries and groups.

As the world teeters at the crossroads of disorder and fragmentation, China remains steadfast in pursuing its development roadmap, with the launch of the 15th Five-Year Plan (15th FYP) charting a clear pathway toward high-quality development. There have been inevitable pressures and disruptions, but through resolute responses and a far-sighted vision, China has navigated uncertainties and helped reshape the global balance of power.

That said, challenges remain. As national strength continues to grow, shared prosperity has yet to be realized. Individuals still face the risk of downward social mobility, and a return to poverty is not impossible. Significant efforts are also required to stabilize growth expectations, restore confidence, foster healthy domestic competition, and mitigate systemic risks. We must use facts and data to demonstrate that China’s economic resilience is solid, both internally and externally.

Every action we take, no matter how small, contributes to shaping our era; in turn, the era we live in shapes each of our destinies. In the face of constant change, every individual must establish their own coherent value system.

When opportunities arise, those who continue to observe, think, and learn are the ones best positioned to seize them. Currently, the most promising opportunities are brought by the integration of technology and industry.

As artificial intelligence (AI) sweeps across the globe, a new wave of technological and industrial transformation is reshaping the world at an unprecedented scale and speed. From productivity and production relations to the way people live and learn, from the operation of global supply chains to the ranking of national competitiveness, change is visible everywhere.

The key to future wealth creation is already embedded in the 15th FYP: “We will promote quantum technology, biomanufacturing, hydrogen and nuclear fusion power, brain-computer interfaces, embodied intelligence, 6G mobile communications, and other frontier technologies to become new drivers of economic growth.”

Change is unfolding at a remarkable speed. It is not inconceivable that the AI singularity may arrive within the coming year, accompanied by the formation of a complete AI-centered industrial ecosystem. Looking further ahead, we may even see the emergence of artificial general intelligence (AGI) within a decade, with application scenarios so expansive and so deep that they are beyond our imagination today.

As the expression goes, “Opportunities lost will never return, and the passage of time waits for no one.” We must act now to become the unbeatable “hexagon warrior” in the AI era. The word “hexagon” refers to the following six capabilities suggested by AI that could provide us with some insights:

First, digital competence and data capability. Data collection, cleaning, and wrangling form the foundation of AI model training. Those who can skillfully leverage data analytics tools to interpret datasets and present analysis results through visualization will be positioned to take leadership roles across various “AI+” industries.

Second, critical thinking and problem-solving ability. While AI excels at processing massive volumes of data, humans possess independent analysis and judgment, capable of critically evaluating AI-generated information and suggestions and harnessing AI power to devise innovative solutions to complex problems.

Third, creativity and an innovative mindset. AI can imitate and think, but it cannot replace humans in creating content with empathy. We must remain in control of the newly created world with the help of AI and seize the most promising roles that require creativity to address future challenges.

Fourth, communication and collaboration abilities. In a globalized world, we must communicate effectively with colleagues from diverse cultural backgrounds and collaborate seamlessly with technical and business colleagues on AI-related projects.

Fifth, self-directed learning and adaptability. We must become lifelong learners who continuously track AI developments and technological trends, update our knowledge systems, and master new tools and technologies.

Six, ethics and moral values. We must be able to identify AI-generated content in line with our values and ethical standards to ensure AI’s compliance with moral values, social norms, laws, and regulations. In using AI, we must take responsibility for our decisions and actions.

AI should be our capable, professional assistant, liberating us from repetitive tasks and enabling us to focus on the big picture and higher-level creation, making, and innovation.

Technology should help and serve people, not control or deceive them. This is a fundamental principle that everyone in the industry must uphold. Technology for good ultimately depends on humans.

The Pangoal Institution has been among the first social organizations to embrace AI. As early as 2016, it conducted systematic research into international best practices and published the report titled “Strategic Thinking and Practical Suggestions on the Development of China’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Accelerators,” which advocates the establishment of “core incubators for AI-led strategic emerging industries.”

In 2022, Yi Peng, President of the Pangoal Institution, introduced the concept of the “New Era of Discovery,” highlighting how frontier technologies such as AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and biotechnology are guiding human beings into uncharted territories and opening new horizons for business, society, and even civilization.

In 2025, President Yi further advanced the concept of “Spiritual Cognition Society” and guided the publication of the report titled “Entering the Spiritual Cognition Society: Cognition Leap Beyond Knowledge and Insight.” The report emphasizes that as AI technologies penetrate deeper into our society, we must revisit a fundamental question: What forms of cognition are required for us to retain subjectivity and leadership?

Spanning science, technology, biology, economics, philosophy, and psychology, the publication reflects the Pangoal Institution’s commitment to technological revolution and industrial transformation, as well as its pursuit of intellectual freedom.

Throughout 2025, with a focus on “AI+”-empowered industrial upgrading and social governance, the Pangoal Institution continued to provide intelligence support for high-quality, sustainable development across China’s industries and sectors.

The Pangoal Institution has published a series of reports to support the strategic planning of the 15th FYP, including the “Establishing China’s Great Economic Hinterland” series based on extensive and in-depth field research (including “Building the Main Platform for Domestic Circulation,” “Pressing Forward with the Hinterland Canals Construction,” “Establishing National Laboratories and Key Innovation Platforms”); “Ushing in the Era of Seven Powerful Automakers: Global Auto Industry Progress and Domestic Industry Development Forecast,” “Who is the “City of Patient Capital” among China’s 27 Trillion-Yuan Cities,” “The Growth Secrets of 31 Provinces, Districts and Cities and Top 50 GDP Cities,” “China’s Computing Power and Energy Consumption Research Report and Development Predictions Towards 2030,” and “From ‘Employment’ to ‘Enjoyable Employment’: Transformation of Employment Cognition in the Era of AI.”

The Pangoal AIGC content creator contest (2025 GIS & AURA AIGC Creation Contest) is now welcoming global participants, marking a key initiative in promoting Shenzhen-Hong Kong collaboration in technological innovation.

Beyond these feats, the Pangoal Institution has continued to expand its efforts in other areas. The Pangoal Institute for Ageing Society, guided by the mission of “focusing on the silver economy and empowering start-ups,” has developed a comprehensive academic ecosystem that integrates theory, practice, and resources matching through a series of conferences, themed research, and ecological collaborations. Its latest outcomes include the publication of “China’s Silvery Economy Market and 66 Investment Channels (2025).”

In 2025, the Pangoal Institution was recognized as one of the first batch of Vice-Chairman Units of the China SME Go Abroad Service Alliance (CSGASA), a platform established under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. It was selected as an AMI Think Tank in the China Think Tank Comprehensive Evaluation Project 2025, and its initiative to establish the Aging Society 30 Forum to unleash new development momentum for the silver economy was cited as an exemplary case in the 2025 review of the decade’s development of new-type think tanks with Chinese characteristics.

Looking ahead to 2026, the Pangoal Institution will advance at full steam in AI+ industries and social empowerment, leveraging its forward-looking perspectives to identify future industries and diverse technological pathways, application scenarios, and feasible business models. By conducting professional, human-centered analysis and judgment, we will provide more actionable, valuable insights to address the needs, challenges, concerns, and expectations of governments, communities, enterprises, and society. As stated at the conclusion of the report on “Entering the Spiritual Cognition Society,” a spiritual cognition society poses a new question for all: “It is not an end, but the beginning of an elevated journey.”

Countless vessels are venturing into uncharted waters amid this technological revolution. Before long, frontrunners will emerge and shape the new landscape. As the new year approaches, the Pangoal Institution looks forward to joining hands with all of you to keep learning, keep moving forward, board on the leading vessel of our time, and witness together the magnificent unfolding of the new era.

Pangoal Institution
