AI is transforming the digital world, but it comes with a huge energy demand in the real world. Dai Hancheng 戴瀚程, Associate Professor at the PKU School of Environmental Science and Engineering, discusses how China could connect its growing AI industry with abundant renewable electricity during a PKU Masterclass. With initiatives linking data in the east with computing capacity in the west, Professor Dai shows the US college students in the 2026 China Deep Dive program how digital development and the transition to clean energy could work together. The future of AI may depend not only on smarter computing, but also on where its electricity comes from.

Having visited the Xiaomi factory, which has reached 85% automation, students of the 2026 China Deep Dive program from America asked Prof. Zhang Ying during a PKU Masterclass: How does the industry balance automation and a better-off workforce? The answer? Retraining the workers. Would that be enough in the race against automation? "We don't know for sure."

"Controlling the temperature is a matter of us, not a matter of the Earth." Imagine an Earth with temperatures around 10°C higher than today, far less ice, no deserts, and vegetation covering almost everywhere. It sounds like a thriving planet. But it may not be a world where humans can thrive. During the 2026 China Deep Dive program, Dai Hancheng 戴瀚程, Associate Professor at the PKU School of Environmental Science and Engineering, shared this striking perspective with US college students during a PKU Masterclass, using ancient climate records to show how resilient Earth can be and how vulnerable human civilization is. The Earth may be fine. Our future is the real question.

Incorporating Farsi as a secret language within the Batman universe certainly adds a layer of cultural depth and intrigue. It introduces new characters with Persian backgrounds, blending the rich history and poetic nature of the language with the dark and enigmatic atmosphere of Gotham. This also gives a refreshing twist to the storytelling, especially for fans seeking new, diverse perspectives in the Batman mythos. It’s great to imagine how Lauren LeFranc, known for her dynamic approach to characters, develops this further. #ThePenguin
