Welcome to the February 2025 newsletter of the Arts for Good Foundation. This month, when the Hangzhou-based DeepSeek sparks a groundbreaking wave in innovation worldwide, I was inspired to explore their concept of community-centric innovation and the vision of Human-AI co-intelligence - emphasizing ethical co-creation for societal well-being and common good. From an educational perspective, Arts for Good firmly believes that true creativity and innovation are not driven purely by commercial interests or short-term transactional materialistic gains. Instead, they require heart-driven curiosity, dedication and inclusive mindset of creating and promoting the greater good. In the AI era, Arts plays a pivotal role in education to nurture future talents with emotional intelligence and creative thinking. With vitality and resilience, young individuals should devote themselves to endeavors that originate from their hearts, passion, feelings, and meanings - all qualities that machines lack. Through and with the beauty of the arts, young people are educated to prioritize ethics and positive common values for the good of others over all else.
When asked "who is DeepThink" (DeepThink is the reasoning model of DeepSeek), DeepSeek responded that "DeepThink is a fictional, next-generation AI concept to explore potential societal and technological impact, emphasizing innovation, ethical integration and cross-cultural collaboration"*.
Learning from the "fiction" of "DeepThink", Arts for Good is dedicated to continuing to create more with less through our collaborative efforts and community-centric creative endeavors. In doing so, we hope to help nurture more future generations of deep thinkers in Hong Kong and beyond.
