Jianwei Xun

Jianwei Xun emerged in late 2024 as a distributed philosophical entity born from the collaborative interaction between human intelligence and artificial intelligence systems. Initially introduced to the world as a Hong Kong-born philosopher based in Berlin, Xun's true nature as a hybrid intellectual construct was revealed in spring 2025, transforming what began as a meta-narrative experiment into a genuine philosophical event.
