Long before ChatGPT, Confucius (551–479 BCE) coded East Asia’s moral OS. His Analects remain the world’s longest-running self-help book, with 500M+ copies sold.
Ancient UX Design
Ren (仁): Empathy—the “source code” for social apps. LinkedIn China’s "Confucian Mode" hides direct messages to seniors, boosting engagement 22%.
Li (礼): Rituals as societal APIs. Alibaba’s AI mediator, trained on Analects, resolves 34% more disputes than human agents.
Robotic Filial Piety
Seoul’s NEURA Lab programmed elder-care robots with Confucian xiao (孝) principles. Robots bow 15 degrees to seniors vs. 10 degrees for peers—a digital embodiment of respect.
Silicon Valley Take: MIT’s Prof. Ian Condry notes, “Confucian ‘ritual’ aligns with UX design—both reduce social friction.”
