Analyzing the Innovative Thinking and Optimization Strategies of Artificial Intelligence Development from the Wisdom of Thought in the Tao Te Ching

The timeless masterpiece “Tao Te Ching” is one of the greatest works in Chinese history, focusing on the philosophical concept of “morality” and discussing the ways of self-cultivation, governance, military strategy, and health preservation. It mostly focuses on politics and is known as the study of “inner sage and outer king”. Its profound meaning and broad content make it the king of all classics. The Tao Te Ching has had a profound impact on traditional philosophy, science, politics, religion, and more. According to UNESCO statistics, the Tao Te Ching is the cultural masterpiece with the highest number of translations into foreign languages after the Bible. Known as the “source of Chinese culture” and the “king of ten thousand classics”. This article takes an interdisciplinary and historical perspective, using scientific and mathematical analysis methods, to analyze the guiding spirit of the philosophical ideas in the Tao Te Ching for innovative thinking and optimization strategies in the development of artificial intelligence. This article combines artificial intelligence technology to develop the underlying logic of algorithms from four aspects: “Dao follows nature”, “governing by inaction”, “coexistence of existence and non existence”, and “knowing white and guarding black”; Ethical governance architecture for artificial intelligence algorithms; Analyze and elaborate on the future development direction of artificial intelligence in society. Provided new ethical foundations, governance models, and innovative paradigms for the development of artificial intelligence.
