1. Origin of the problem and research significance Promoting the integration of youth from both sides of the Taiwan Strait is a key link in the historical process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. For a long time, the mainland has always promoted cross-Strait youth exchanges with the greatest sincerity, and has played a positive role in enhancing mutual understanding between cross-Strait youths through traditional modes such as visits, study tours, and cultural festivals. However, with the changing times and profound changes in the information environment, traditional communication models are gradually facing new challenges. For “Generation Z” Taiwanese youth who have grown up with the Internet, short videos and artificial intelligence, the appeal of one-way visits or lecture-style communication is declining. They are more eager for experiences that enable in-depth participation, interactive collaboration and the realization of personal value. At the same time, Taiwan’s complex public opinion environment may interfere with the effectiveness of traditional exchanges, causing some Taiwan youth’s understanding of the mainland to remain at the level of fragmented and one-sided information, making it difficult to form a comprehensive and objective understanding. In this context, how to build a new communication paradigm that is more in line with the characteristics of contemporary youth, can better stimulate their inner driving force, and can better overcome information barriers has become an urgent issue in the current cross-strait youth exchange work. Against this background, the cutting-edge scientific and technological field represented by artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an important breakthrough to solve this dilemma.
