The 2026 World Laureates Forum was recently held at the Lin-gang Center in Shanghai. Under the theme "Paradigm Transformation: The Next Decade of Scientific Breakthroughs," the forum brought together nearly 300 scientists, including laureates of the Nobel Prize, Turing Award, Wolf Prize, and Fields Medal, as well as representatives of leading sci-tech innovation enterprises. The event comprised an opening ceremony and main forum, six parallel forums, four thematic events, a closing ceremony and derivative activities, sci-tech visits, and special events. Zeng Yuqun, founder of CATL, delivered a speech in English at the event, noting that CATL has accumulated over 600TB of basic research data and more than 1 trillion test records. AI can screen thousands of compounds in a short period and identify seven potential materials. He stated that current AI capabilities remain far from sufficient and that more scientists and more advanced models are needed to accelerate the discovery of more research and innovation outcomes. Participants exchanged views on topics including the research paradigm of future science, the value chain, international cooperation, talent development, and sci-tech governance.
