SHANGHAI, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The ASU+GSV Summit, co-hosted by Arizona State University (ASU) and Global Silicon Valley (GSV), recently kicked off at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, California. Themed ‘Learning at the Speed of Light’, the event drew over 7,000 educators, business owners, investors, and policymakers, including Khan Academy founder Sal Khan and Stanford University’s Prof. Andrew Ng (co-founder of Coursera).

Among the distinguished speakers was Dr. Joleen Liang, co-founder of Squirrel Ai Learning, who joined a high-profile panel with Khan Academy Chief Learning Officer Kristen DiCerbo and SchoolAI CEO Caleb Hicks to explore “Cultivating Critical Thinking in the Age of AI Tutors”. 

Hailed as the ‘Davos of EdTech’, the ASU+GSV Summit is one of the most influential events in global education and workforce learning. It provides a platform for leading innovators across the “PreK to Gray” (early childhood through lifelong learning) sector to exchange ideas, share best practices, and explore opportunities for collaboration.

Dr. Liang opened the discussion with a compelling thesis: “AI won’t replace human thought—it’s a tool to ignite deeper cognition”. She elaborated on this viewpoint by citing the company’s proprietary large adaptive model (LAM) for multimodal education as an example.

With the growing popularity of general-purpose AI led by LLMs and ChatGPT, Squirrel Ai Learning ‘s multimodal LAM remains laser-focused on the education sector. Leveraging 117 patented technologies, including fine-grained knowledge component decomposition and root-cause analysis, it dynamically tracks students’ problem-solving processes to deliver truly personalized learning solutions. This ensures every learner discovers their optimal study method, accelerating the progress of adaptive education.

Squirrel Ai’s all-subject multimodal adaptive learning model enhances intelligent human-computer interaction, enabling seamless voice and text-based engagement with students. For instance, when a student solves a math problem, instead of just grading the answer, Squirrel Ai Learning’s adaptive tutoring system guides them with Socratic questioning: “Would the conclusion hold if the conditions change?” This approach encourages students to think independently and deepen their understanding by prompting them to verify their logic and re-evaluate problem-solving strategies.

Squirrel Ai Learning’s MCM (Model of thinking, Capacity, Method) model further helps students uncover latent strengths. Dr. Liang emphasized, “We’re nurturing adaptable thinkers—not training machine-dependent learners—and we believe it will benefit them for life.”

Squirrel Ai Learning’s innovations earned it a spot on the 2025 GSV 150 list, which evaluates over 2, 500 global companies backed by venture capital and private equity, and won the Most Transformational Growth Companies In Digital Learning and Workforce Skills award.

During the summit, many international educators recognized and praised Squirrel Ai Learning ‘s LAM model. Michael Horn from the Harvard Graduate School of Education shared that he frequently cites the company’s adaptive tutoring system as a case study in his courses, commending its decade-long technological evolution and continued innovation.

According to publicly available data, the company allocates 30% of its annual revenue to R&D as part of its mission to make quality education more accessible. It has built a top-tier research team that brings together leading AI scientists and education professionals from around the globe, while collaborating with leading universities and research organizations worldwide. To date, Squirrel Ai Learning has opened over 3,000 physical learning centers across China and partnered with more than 60,000 public schools, collecting  nearly 10 billion learning behavior data points from over 24 million students.

As the deep integration of AI and education emerges as a central theme in education reform, Squirrel Ai Learning ‘s adaptive learning system offers the industry a tangible solution: AI should never replace student thinking but rather serve as a cognitive partner that cultivates critical thinking. The future of high-quality education requires both relentless innovation in technology and the commitment to preserve the human element that nurtures original thought.

Creating Art of the Era, Shaping a New Global Art Landscape

HANGZHOU, China, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On April 8, 1928, at the opening ceremony of the National Academy of Art, Mr. Cai Yuanpei delivered his renowned speech and proclaimed, “The Academy was founded by West Lake to create beauty—to transform the superstitious minds of people into hearts that cherish beauty, thereby truly fulfilling human life.” Thus began the chapter of China’s higher education in fine arts.

For 97 years, unwavering in its original mission, China Academy of Art has remained dedicated to nurturing individuals and enriching life, fostering cultural awareness, agency, independence, and strength among the Chinese people.

On the occasion of CAA’s 97th anniversary, the “2025 CAA Report” unveils three key initiatives: Donation ceremony of Zao Wou-Ki’s artworks & Inauguration Ceremony of the Zao Wou-Ki Research Center, Inauguration of Zhejiang Key Research Base: Chinese Calligraphy and Seal Research Center, Launch Ceremony of Design Intelligence Award’s Innovation Incubation Initiative.

On the same day, CAA also launched a series of events celebrating its 97th anniversary:

• Black Myth: Wukong Art Exhibition — A visual exploration of the acclaimed video game’s mythopoeic aesthetics.
• “Painting 100” Program — A state-backed initiative to cultivate 100 New Era Youth Art Talents.
• Xiao Feng Art Museum Opening — Debuting with “Children of the Era: The Art Exhibition of Xiao Feng & Song Ren“.

Donation ceremony of Zao Wou-Ki’s artworks & Inauguration Ceremony of the Zao Wou-Ki Research Center

Ninety years ago, the 15-year-old Zao Wou-Ki arrived in Hangzhou and enrolled at the Hangzhou National College of Art (now the China Academy of Art), formally embarking on his artistic journey. West Lake became a lifelong artistic inspiration for him, while his alma mater remained an indelible creative origin etched into his very being.

Ninety years later, in recognition of the profound impact of the China Academy of Art’s major exhibition The Way is Infinite—Centennial Retrospective Exhibition of Zao Wou-Ki, the artist’s family has generously donated 213 works to CAA, including his early oil paintings, prints, and ceramics. This invaluable cultural treasure, now returned to China, to Hangzhou, and to his alma mater, not only fills a critical gap in the collections of mainland China’s public art museums—particularly in Zao Wou-Ki’s oil paintings—but will also significantly contribute to China’s role in reshaping the narrative of global art history, exerting a lasting and positive influence on Chinese art education and cultural innovation.

With selfless generosity, the donors have entrusted these precious works—imbued with both family memories and immense art-historical significance—to CAA and to Hangzhou, ensuring that Zao Wou-Ki’s artistic spirit continues to inspire future generations. This act of vision and magnanimity will be remembered in the annals of world art history.

To mark this historic donation, the China Academy of Art and the Zao Wou-Ki Foundation will jointly establish an internationally influential Zao Wou-Ki Research Center. Housed under the China Academy of Art Museum, the center will focus on the study and promotion of Zao Wou-Ki’s art through research publications, exhibitions, public education, and global exchanges. By engaging with Zao’s transcendent synthesis of tradition and modernity, East and West, the center will actively participate in shaping the new landscape of world art history.

Launch Ceremony of Design Intelligence Award’s Innovation Incubation Initiative

On April 9th, the Design Intelligence Award (DIA) Innovation Incubation Initiative was officially launched at China Academy of Art. With a decade of innovation, DIA is shaping the future of intelligent manufacturing. In collaboration with tech innovation enterprises like QiangBrain, Yushu, and Yunshen, the initiative introduces a closed-loop model of “Enterprise Proposals – University Solutions – Industry Transformation”, seamlessly connecting industry, academia, and research to turn creativity into reality. The first wave of supporting companies shared their inspiring messages, opening a new chapter in intelligent manufacturing.

Organized by the Zhejiang Provincial Government, DIA seeks to drive industrial transformation and talent development through design. Over the past decade, it has become China’s most globally influential innovation design award and a hub for technological innovation. DIA provides a platform for enterprises to cultivate talent, encourages independent innovation, and fosters design and R&D professionals. Moreover, DIA provides a global stage for collaboration between designers and enterprises, promoting international cooperation and development in design.

Inauguration of Zhejiang Key Research Base: Chinese Calligraphy and Seal Research Center

On April 9, as part of the 97th anniversary celebrations of the China Academy of Art, the Inauguration of Zhejiang Key Research Base: Chinese Calligraphy and Seal Research Center was held.

In 2023, upholding its pioneering spirit, the China Academy of Art formally established the School of Calligraphy. Now, with the accreditation of this provincial-level research base, the Chinese Calligraphy and Seal Research Center will join forces with the school to carry forward the academy’s tradition of balancing heritage preservation with innovation.

The institute is structured around three core research pillars:

• Chinese Script and Cultural Studies
• Theoretical and Textual Research on Calligraphy and Seal Engraving
• Creative Practice and Dissemination of Calligraphy and Seal Engraving

This initiative not only pays homage to the educational ideals of past masters but also reaffirms CAA’s academic mission as “the birthplace of higher education in calligraphy”. By strengthening autonomous discourse in Chinese calligraphy and seal engraving, it will provide robust scholarly support for enhancing the social influence and global reach of traditional Chinese culture.

“Painting 100” Program

On April 9, 2025, the “Painting 100” Program officially commenced at the China Academy of Art.

Initiated by the China Artists Association, the program encompasses multiple disciplinary modules including “Children’s Picture Books 100”, “Ceramics 100”, “Animation 100”, and “Painting 100”. Designed as a “seed project” for discovering, nurturing, and promoting young artistic talents, the program aims to preserve and revitalize outstanding traditional Chinese culture while facilitating its creative transformation and innovative development. By producing high-quality artistic works that meet the spiritual and cultural needs of the people, the initiative further promotes the core ethos of Chinese arts in the new era and highlights the diversity and richness of realist art creation.

The program features a broad selection of participants, a diverse panel of judges, a multi-tiered evaluation system, an innovative and comprehensive curriculum, as well as clearly defined teaching objectives and training approaches.

As a breakthrough initiative for cultivating young talents, “Painting 100” Program will drive the enduring legacy and continuous renewal of fine arts, fostering artistic roots for the times and creating enduring narratives for the people.

Black Myth: Wukong Art Exhibition

The “Black Myth: Wukong” Art Exhibition opened on April 9 at the CAA Art Museum in Hangzhou and will run until May 21.

Curated into seven thematic sections, the exhibition showcases “Black Myth: Wukong”, a groundbreaking Chinese AAA game, through original concept art for game environments and characters, reference photographs from field studies, models, statues, and merchandise. Many of the works are being publicly displayed for the first time.

The exhibition breaks down the boundaries between the virtual and physical realms of digital art, recreating the game’s iconic narratives, characters, environments, and props within a tangible space, allowing visitors to closely explore the artistic blueprints, production intricacies, and behind-the-scenes development stories of the game.

Xiao Feng Art Museum Opening — Debuting with “Children of the Era: The Art Exhibition of Xiao Feng & Song Ren“

On April 9th, the Xiao Feng Art Museum officially opened in celebration of the 97th anniversary of China Academy of Art, accompanied by the launch of the exhibition “Children of the Era: The Art Exhibition of Xiao Feng & Song Ren“.

At the opening ceremony, the 93-year-old Xiao Feng donated 503 core works from their eight-decade artistic journey. These pieces, spanning from the 1950s to the present, offer a comprehensive overview of their creative legacy. These masterpieces, representing a lifetime’s dedication, not only trace the evolution of their artistic trajectories but also embody their cultural mission. The exhibition serves as a valuable resource for contemporary art research and highlights their profound love for their nation and dedication to the spirit of their era.

As the 10th president of CAA, Xiao Feng brought unique intellectual vigor and bold reforms, leading the academy into a new chapter in the 1990s and making significant contributions to the development of art education in China.

HAIKOU, China, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from HIMC:

On Apr. 13, the 5^th China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE) opened in Haikou, capital city of Hainan Province. This year, over 1,700 companies from 70+ countries and regions put more than 4,100 brands on display at the event.

“The Hainan Expo gave me a sense of the huge potential of China’s consumer market,” said Ramel François Félix, CEO of Vignerons du Castelas, who is attending his 5th CICPE in a row. Over the past four years, he has met over a hundred Chinese business partners at the Expo, greatly facilitating his business.

As China’s only national-level consumer product themed expo, China’s huge market advantage makes attending the Expo very attractive. 

There are several notable differences at this year’s Expo. Exhibition groups from Slovakia, Singapore, Brazil, and several other countries attended for the first time, special exhibition areas for AI and the low-altitude economy were a new feature, and an online pre-matching plus in-person in-depth negotiation supply and demand matching model also debuted.

As of Apr. 16, the midpoint of the Expo, a total of 150 billion yuan ($20.56 billion) of transaction agreements had already been made, with 52 project agreements signed in three official supply and demand matchmaking meetings. Twenty of these were signed at country-specific sessions, with Chinese and international exhibitors reaching agreement for a wide variety of procurement and transaction projects.

At this year’s Expo, Hainan also welcomed large numbers of new orders and collaborative agreements. Many project agreements in the areas of autonomous driving, smart transportation infrastructure, and smart travel services were achieved.

Hangzhou’s Unitree Robotics exhibited varieties of robot products, and received many orders from Hainan for items related to university-level scientific research, public security patrols, and other fields.

The Fosun Tourism Group announced that ULTRAMED, a major tourism and cultural project, will open in Haitang Bay, Sanya.

There was a sense of great openness both inside the venue as well as outside.

Unlike in the past, many international exhibitors and buyers no longer needed to apply for visas to participate, thanks to Hainan’s 59 Country Visa Free Entry Policy along with nationally applicable comprehensive bilateral and unilateral visa-free policies, which combined permit travelers from 77 countries to enter Hainan visa free.

In Hainan, special management measures for cross-border trade in services and greater market access for foreign investment access have been implemented. The province is also accelerating the exploration and establishment of a coordinated model for domestic and international investment access suited to the unique conditions of the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP).

This year, special customs operations will be established in the FTP. “The institutional opening advantages of Hainan will become more and more available, bringing greater investment opportunities.” William Huang, EY China South Managing Partner, believes that thanks to the opportunities brought by the CICPE and the favorable development conditions of the Hainan FTP, more multinational companies will increase their presence in Hainan.
