TEDx 橘郡青年 × 斯坦福教授，4月25日共启未来重构！

For a long time, Peiheng Liu imagined the future the way many students are taught to: as something to be prepared for early, strategically, and competitively. The right major, the right college, the right path ahead. But he has started to wonder whether that mindset is already narrowing the future before it even arrives. We often picture the future as faster, smarter, and more efficient, yet rarely stop to ask whether it is becoming more meaningful, more reflective, or more deeply human. In this talk, Peiheng explores how his generation has learned to imagine the future, why that imagination may be more limited than we realize, and what we risk overlooking because of it. If the future is shaped not only by what we create, but by what we learn to value, then perhaps reimagining the future begins there.

长期以来，刘沛恒一直按照许多学生被教导的方式去想象未来：要尽早准备、讲究策略、充满竞争。选对专业、考上好大学、走对前方的路。但他开始怀疑，这种思维方式是否在未来尚未到来之前，就已经把它变得狭隘了。我们常常把未来想象得更快、更智能、更高效，却很少停下来问一问：它是否正变得更有意义、更具反思性、更富有人性？在这场演讲中，刘沛恒探讨了他这一代人如何被塑造出对未来的想象，为什么这种想象可能比我们意识到的更加局限，以及我们因此可能忽略了什么。如果未来不仅由我们创造的东西所决定，也由我们学会去珍视的东西所塑造，那么，重新想象未来或许正应从此处开始。

As a student with a passion for art, Celine Guo has posited a question: Is there any way AI can be used to help artists instead of replace them? Across the world, hundreds if not millions of people in the current moment are generating art with AI. After all, not only is AI art convenient, it's also easy to use. But this process, unbeknownst to many, does more harm to artists than one may think – it takes pieces of hundreds of drawings against artists' will to make one final piece. With this in mind, is there any way art could be made through AI? In this talk, Celine explores how AI can be used to aid artists in their creative process, not replace them. As technology further improves, imagination is the limit for what AI can do, not only for artists, but for creativity as a whole.

作为一名热爱艺术的学生，郭诗霖提出了一个问题：有没有什么方法可以利用人工智能来帮助艺术家，而不是取代他们？如今，在全球范围内，已有成千上万的人正在使用 AI 生成艺术。毕竟，AI 艺术不仅方便，而且易于上手。然而，许多人并未意识到，这个过程对艺术家造成的伤害远超人们的想象——它会在违背艺术家意愿的情况下，截取成百上千幅画作的片段，拼凑出一件最终的作品。既然如此，有没有可能通过 AI 来创作真正有益于艺术的艺术呢？在这场演讲中，郭诗霖探讨了如何利用 AI 来辅助艺术家的创作过程，而不是取代他们。随着技术的不断进步，想象力才是 AI 能力的极限——这不仅关乎艺术家，也关乎整个创造力领域。

As technology becomes more present in our emotional lives, Lucy Huang explores a quiet but important question: in the future, will we feel more understood or more alone? Today, many young people turn to AI not only for answers, but also for comfort, reassurance, and the feeling of being heard. What may seem like a small shift, Lucy suggests, reveals something more significant about the way human connection is changing. If being understood becomes easier than ever, will we still practice the patience, vulnerability, and effort that real human understanding requires? Through those questions, Lucy reflects on how technology is reshaping emotional support for her generation, and what kinds of connection we may need to protect in the future.

随着科技越来越多地融入我们的情感生活，黄子珈探讨了一个安静却重要的问题：在未来，我们会感到更被理解，还是更加孤独？如今，许多年轻人向人工智能寻求的不仅仅是答案，还有安慰、肯定以及被倾听的感觉。黄子珈认为，这看似微小的变化，却揭示了人际关系正在发生某种更深刻的转变。如果被理解变得比以往任何时候都更容易，我们是否还会去练习真正的人际理解所需要的耐心、脆弱和努力？透过这些问题，黄子珈反思了科技如何重塑她这一代人的情感支持方式，以及在未来，哪些类型的连接是我们需要去保护的。

AI can create, edit, and imitate—but can it replace what makes us human? As a young creator experiencing this revolution firsthand, Lu Sze Hang has been asking himself: in a world of constant change, what stays unbroken? This talk dives into the deepest, most lasting parts of humanity that technology can never touch. It’s about finding our power, not our limits, in the AI era.

人工智能可以创作、编辑、模仿——但它能取代我们之所以为人的本质吗？作为一名亲历这场变革的年轻创作者，陆思行一直在问自己：在一个不断变化的世界里，究竟什么才是永恒不变的？这场演讲将深入探讨人性中最深刻、最持久、技术永远无法触及的部分。它关乎的，是在人工智能时代找到我们的力量，而非我们的局限。

What if technology isn't here to replace us, but to free us? As a music lover, high school student Jessie has seen first hand how art connects youth beyond words. In this talk, she shares her vision: when AI takes over heavy labor and removes material scarcity, art-not trade or weapons-will become humanity's new common language. She believes young people must step up, think critically, and help shape the future, not just watch it happen. A fresh, hopeful take on reimagining tomorrow from a young creative mind.

如果科技来到我们身边，不是为了取代我们，而是为了解放我们呢？作为一名音乐爱好者，高中生谢语凡亲眼见证了艺术如何超越语言，将年轻人连接在一起。在这场演讲中，她分享了自己的愿景：当人工智能接管繁重的劳动、消除物质匮乏之后，艺术——而非贸易或武器——将成为人类新的共同语言。她相信，年轻人必须挺身而出，进行批判性思考，并帮助塑造未来，而不仅仅是袖手旁观。这是一个富有创造力的年轻心灵对重新想象明天所给出的清新而充满希望的视角。

Scoring grades, GPA sheets, and test results. There were always endless numbers following us. For years, we believed that the numbers were the authentic answer to a very personal question: "Are we good enough?" After spending a summer attending a sailing camp, Jack realized that nothing from the weeks of experience would ever appear on future transcripts. Nobody would grade it, rank it. Then he started to wonder. If the moments that he felt the most "alive" was invisible to the grading system, what exactly was this system measuring? In this talk, Jack challenges the invisible scoreboards that follow every student through high school. He argues how these metrics are flawed - and the first act of genuine intelligence is not by scoring higher, but learning to build a ruler of our own. The significance lies in identifying our true self within this rapidly changing era of AI.

分数、GPA 成绩单、考试结果——总有数不清的数字在我们身后紧追不舍。多年来，我们一直相信，这些数字对一个非常个人化的问题给出了真实的答案：“我们足够好吗？”在一个暑假参加帆船夏令营之后，陈德铭意识到，那几周经历中的点点滴滴，没有一样会出现在未来的成绩单上。没有人会给这些经历打分，也没有人会为之排名。于是，他开始思考：如果那些让他感到最“鲜活”的时刻在评分体系中是看不见的，那这个体系到底在测量什么？在这场演讲中，陈德铭对每个高中生身后那张无形的记分牌发起了挑战。他认为，这些衡量标准是有缺陷的——而真正的智慧的首要行动，并不是考出更高的分数，而是学会打造属于我们自己的尺子。其意义在于，在这个快速变化的 AI 时代，认清真正的自我。
