Passage 1

We understand that none of the big global challenges we face—climate change, nuclear proliferation, terrorism, humiliating poverty—can be solved without the active engagement of a prosperous and successful China. And the embrace of the digital is as vital to China today as its decision thirty years ago to take its place in the global economy. China now has a chance to open its digital door. How is media being transformed? And how can the Chinese media take advantage of that transformation?
    Chinese media and entertainment companies have a remarkable opportunity to expand their international influence and revenues. That possibility was recognized in recent days by the Chinese government. I genuinely look forward to that competition, but I fear the ability of creative companies to prosper globally could be undermined by a lack of intellectual property protection domestically. There are impressive media companies emerging in China, but piracy will make it difficult for them to generate the profits at home.

I’m not worried about artificial intelligence giving computers the ability to think like humans. I’m more concerned about people thinking like computers without values or compassion, without concern for consequences. That is what we need you graduates to help us guard against. Because if science is a. search in the darkness, then the humanities are a candle that shows us where we’ve been and the danger that lies ahead.
    As Steve once said, technology alone is not enough. It is technology married with the liberal arts married with the humanities that make our hearts sing. When you keep people at the center of what you do, it can have an enormous impact. It means an iPhone that allows the blind person to run a marathon. It means an Apple Watch that catches a heart condition before it becomes a heart attack. In short, it means technology infused with your values, making progress possible for everyone.
