Four-time Women’s World Chess Champion and Peking University lecturer 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) x “Davos 2026: A World in Transition”: AI is not a competitor but a partner.
Human–AI partnership can solve global challenges 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán), TIME, January 15, 2026  I believe the most powerful force in chess today isn’t a human grandmaster or a supercomputer but the partnership between the two. Pairing human creativity and intuition with AI’s precision and analytical power can achieve results neither could accomplish alone. I’ve experienced the power of this partnership firsthand. During tournament preparation, AI tools often uncover patterns and possibilities I hadn’t considered. Yet, it’s my strategic intuition and understanding of the game’s psychology and nuance that determine which paths to pursue. This collaboration is about complementing each other’s strengths as much as it is about competition. The lessons from chess extend far beyond the board. Whether it’s addressing climate change, combating public health crises or reducing economic inequality, humanity faces challenges too complex for humans or machines to solve alone. By combining AI’s computational power with human empathy, adaptability and creativity, we can unlock solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. I see a future where humans and machines work together to solve challenges, not against each other. Partnerships that combine human ingenuity with AI’s capabilities could help to create a sustainable, inclusive future. |
