Core Requirement: AI as Academic Partner

The defining feature of this competition is the requirement that authors treat AI as an academic partner and conduct in-depth human-AI collaborative research.

What Does "AI as Academic Partner" Mean?

AI is NOT merely:

❌ A literature retrieval tool

❌ A language polishing assistant

❌ Data analysis software

❌ A passive question-answering system

AI SHOULD BE:

✅ Critical Interlocutor: rigorously questioning and rebutting your arguments

✅ Conceptual Co-constructor: building, revising, and reconstructing core concepts with you

✅ Thinking Stress-Tester: exposing blind spots and gaps in arguments through multi-turn recursive dialogue

✅ Multi-Perspective Simulator: role-playing different theoretical positions, cultural traditions, or critics

✅ Creative Experimental Partner: jointly conducting thought experiments, narrative generation, and conceptual exploration
