How to Learn in the Age of AI: Prof. Zhang Yu on What Makes Us Irreplaceably Human

Professor Zhang Yu of Tsinghua University explores how young people can learn, think, and grow in an AI-driven world. He explains why relying too heavily on AI before building a solid foundation may weaken knowledge development and independent thinking, and highlights mathematics, philosophy, deep reading, humanistic awareness, unique experiences, and creativity as essential capacities for the future. Guided by the idea of “learning for self-fulfillment,” he encourages students to use AI as a tool while preserving their autonomy, curiosity, and distinctly human ability to create meaning and innovation.
