At a recent roundtable hosted by China Media Group (CMG), experts explored how digital technologies are reshaping cultural preservation and innovation. Moderated by CMG's Wang Guan, the dialogue "Cultural Innovation Empowered by Digital Technologies Development" brought together thought leaders to address technology's evolving role in bridging civilizations.
Reviving Heritage Through Digital Tools
Participants highlighted how AI and virtual reality are breathing new life into ancient artifacts and traditions. One panelist noted: "Digital platforms allow us to reconstruct lost historical sites in 3D, making heritage accessible to younger generations." Examples included AI-powered language revitalization projects preserving endangered dialects across Asia.
Platforms as Bridges, Not Barriers
The discussion emphasized corporate responsibility in fostering cross-cultural understanding. "Algorithms must prioritize empathy over engagement metrics," argued a tech executive, citing initiatives that amplify underrepresented artistic traditions through targeted content distribution.
Journalism's New Frontier
Media innovators demonstrated how immersive storytelling – combining spatial audio and 360-degree visuals – helps audiences experience cultural narratives firsthand. Wang Guan stressed: "Our challenge is to use these tools without diluting authenticity."
The consensus? Technology is becoming a universal language for cultural continuity, but its success depends on human-centered design and ethical implementation.
