Recently, the Ministry of Education announced the record and approval results of undergraduate majors of ordinary colleges and universities in 2019, and 180 colleges and universities across the country have newly added the undergraduate major of artificial intelligence.
Jiangsu
Suzhou University, Nanjing University of technology, Changzhou University and other 13 Jiangsu Universities are among them. In addition, the first batch of 5 universities approved to add the artificial intelligence undergraduate major. Up to now, 18 universities in Jiangsu Province have succeeded in seizing the new blue ocean of artificial intelligence.
The College of artificial intelligence of Nanjing University published the education and training system of artificial intelligence major of Nanjing University in 2019. In the face of the controversy over whether the curriculum is difficult for undergraduates, Zhou Zhihua said: "after more than 60 years of development, artificial intelligence has a huge and self consistent knowledge system, and now it is not a course that can be covered by one or two courses." In his opinion, the existing discipline training system is not enough to achieve the goal of artificial intelligence talent training.
In the process of exploration, Suzhou University has taken the route of "interdisciplinary". Li Fanchang said that the original artificial intelligence talent training was based on the "x + artificial intelligence" model for master students. Students have their own subject background. In the specific teaching, according to the characteristics of artificial intelligence, different colleges carry out joint teaching. Now the new undergraduate students can use "artificial intelligence + X" mode, students first learn the knowledge of artificial intelligence, train related abilities, and then go to match other disciplines.
"In terms of personnel training, our guiding ideology is to lay a solid foundation, emphasize application, and highlight the characteristics of intelligent manufacturing and ship intelligence." Professor Qi Yunsong, director of artificial intelligence at Jiangsu University of science and technology, said.
Zhejiang
Recently, the Ministry of Education officially issued a document approving the cooperation between Zhejiang Business University and Sussex University in the UK to set up "Sussex Institute of artificial intelligence of Zhejiang Business University", becoming the first Chinese foreign cooperative school in the field of artificial intelligence in China. This year, the first batch of students will be enrolled.
background
According to media reports, China's artificial intelligence talent gap is more than 5 million, and the supply-demand ratio is 1:10. According to the forecast, the scale of China's artificial intelligence core industry will exceed 150 billion yuan in 2020, driving the scale of related industries to exceed 1 trillion yuan. There is a sharp contrast between the shortage of artificial intelligence professionals and the booming artificial intelligence industry.
At the beginning of the year, the new crown epidemic accelerated the growth of online diagnosis and treatment, online education and other new formats. Qi Yunsong believes that with its performance in epidemic prevention and control, artificial intelligence has gained more social recognition, and more colleges and universities are treating it as a key specialty of talent training. "From this point of view, AI technology will surely be more popular.".
