Beirut Book Fair: Resilience and Renewal
Prime Minister Nawar Salameh participated in the opening of the Beirut Arab International Book Fair, warning of the overlap between technological advances and artificial intelligence with the responsibility of human thought. He emphasized that an abundance of information does not Equate to depth of knowledge, and that technology cannot replace conscience and human imagination, highlighting the importance of fostering critical thinking. He also noted that Beirut has historically been a center of culture and freedom, and that restoring its cultural role requires a genuine renaissance that invests in education and culture, especially amid Lebanon’s economic and social crises. He called for the development of the publishing industry and translation movement, and for investing in a society built on knowledge and freedom of thought, considering that resilience alone is not enough to achieve a cultural renaissance.
