What is artificial intelligence? What are the development trends, changes and opportunities of artificial intelligence? How to understand the true meaning of artificial intelligence from traditional Chinese culture? In order to promote the development of artificial intelligence and its cross-integration with other disciplines and majors, Hubei Institute of Artificial Intelligence will launch a series of artificial intelligence general course activities in ordinary undergraduate colleges and universities across the province starting from the fall semester of 2024. On October 27, Zhu Songchun, a global artificial intelligence expert, chair professor of Peking University and chief scientist of Hubei Institute of Artificial Intelligence, came to Wuhan Engineering University to deliver the first general course on artificial intelligence to college students in our province.
Empowering Machines with Humanity and Humanity As the pace of scientific and technological progress and industrial transformation accelerates, in recent years, artificial intelligence has become a technological innovation highland that countries are competing for. If we want to take the lead in international competition, artificial intelligence has become an important direction of opportunity. Zhu Songchun has been exploring artificial intelligence for more than thirty years. He believes that the research on artificial intelligence needs to shift from "reason" to "heart". "Li" is a mathematical model, and "heart" is a cognitive structure and value alignment. Zhu Songchun said that "the ability to complete infinite tasks, independently define tasks, and be value-driven" are the three basic characteristics of general artificial intelligence.
Zhu Songchun introduced the world's first general-purpose intelligent agent to the students: the little girl "Tongtong". "Tongtong" is a prototype of the embodied AGI system driven by value and cause and effect. It is mainly designed with the original cognitive architecture theoretical framework as the top level, and is supported by the self-developed domestic learning and reasoning framework as the bottom level. Daily learning and training do not require large computing power. , big data, big models. The birth of "Tongtong" has paved a new development path for general artificial intelligence. In the test, "Tongtong" has the mind of a 3 to 4-year-old child, showing strong environmental adaptability - entering a new space, he will recognize the new environment and actively explore; understand other people's intentions through observation and reasoning; training and acquisition Various athletic abilities. It even surpasses humans in playing chess and solving math problems. "Just like monkeys evolve into humans and more people form a society, individual-level intelligence will form social-level intelligence after participating in the operation of virtual society." Zhu Songchun believes that individual-level intelligence can achieve autonomous perception and cognition , decision-making, execution, learning and social collaboration abilities, in line with human ethics and values. Zhu Songchun has set up relevant research on social-level intelligence in Wuhan. Social-level intelligence has created large-scale social simulators to interpret the past, interpret the present, and predict the future at three scales: community, city, and country, and contribute to social governance and smart city construction. Provide innovative solutions.
Zhu Songchun
, a first-generation artificial intelligence expert with a training background, shared a story from his school days with online and offline college students. In an era when artificial intelligence was not an "excellent science", Zhu Songchun, who was still an undergraduate, took it as an interest. "What is a human being?" "What is intelligence?" "Is there a unified theory of artificial intelligence?" These questions lingered in his mind. At Harvard University, he met like-minded mentors and made this his lifelong pursuit. Career, I have been exploring it to this day. In 2004, China’s first international private non-profit scientific research institution, the Lianhuashan Institute of Computer Vision and Information Science, was founded in Lianhuashan, Ezhou. Zhu Songchun led foreign experts to formulate data annotation standards here. “Therefore, Ezhou is There is no doubt that it is the birthplace of big data in the world." Zhu Songchun believes that artificial intelligence is a big science, not a simple engineering or technology, and it is necessary to cultivate the first generation of artificial intelligence experts with professional backgrounds. .
"With the rise of central China and the rise of Hubei, artificial intelligence is the first to bear the brunt. There should be a Hubei Legion." As a scientist born in Hubei, Zhu Songchun is optimistic about the development of artificial intelligence in Hubei and is also very concerned about the cultivation of artificial intelligence talents in Hubei. More than three years after returning to China, Zhu Songchun opened a general artificial intelligence experimental class at Peking University, referred to as "Tong Class", which gathered a group of outstanding young people in my country. The Hubei Institute of Artificial Intelligence was established on July 22 this year. Driven by Zhu Songchun, it has now cooperated with many universities in the province and more than 30 enterprises across the country. Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, Huawei and other well-known enterprises have joined, and through the gathering of high-tech First-level teacher courses and industrial resources, high-standard construction of new talent training models, and integration of industry and education to jointly cultivate talents. The deep integration and long-term intersection of artificial intelligence and humanities and social sciences will open up new paths for the development of artificial intelligence and be a new source of power to drive the sustainable development of artificial intelligence. Zhu Songchun encouraged every student to make a professional study plan, open up their knowledge, and welcome the era of artificial intelligence. Zhu Songchun added that in the following courses, experts from the field of artificial intelligence from Peking University will give lectures on topics such as large models, embodied intelligence and robots, cultivating everyone's data thinking, computational thinking and intelligent thinking, and improving the ability of artificial intelligence. General knowledge, skills and application level.
