Discussion On the Theme

The theme, “Dialogue of Tolerance in the Digital Media & AI Era” encapsulates the core objective of the 2026 conference: to examine how emerging technologies— particularly artificial intelligence and digital media platforms—shape public discourse on tolerance across cultures, ideologies, and communities. 

In a world where algorithms curate content and influence thought, the theme emphasizes the dual potential of these tools to either deepen societal divides or foster inclusive, respectful dialogue. By critically reflecting on how digital content is created, distributed, and consumed, the conference aims to inspire strategies that harness AI and media to amplify narratives of empathy, cross-cultural understanding, and social cohesion in an increasingly connected digital landscape.
