Artificial intelligence talents have a gap of 1 million a year _ need to focus on training high-end talents

According to preliminary estimates, the annual artificial intelligence talent gap in China is around 1 million.

In October 2017, an artificial intelligence robot, Sofia, developed by Hong Kong's Hanson RoboTIcs, acquired citizenship in Saudi Arabia, which is 20 years away from the 1997 "Deep Blue" victory over the Chess World Championship. The future has come, brushing face, brush face payment, driverless, medical aid diagnosis and other "black technology" is profoundly changing the human life experience, the bridge section of the previous science fiction movie has also entered the "ordinary people's home."

Artificial intelligence talents have a gap of 1 million a year _ need to focus on training high-end talents

At what stage is the development of artificial intelligence? What are the challenges facing the development of artificial intelligence industry in our province? How to break the question? Recently, Hunan University of Technology held the inauguration ceremony of the Artificial Intelligence Institute and the Artificial Intelligence and Industrial Internet Summit Forum. This is the first new type of college to carry out teaching and research work in the field of artificial intelligence technology. At the meeting, three experts including the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Vice Chairman of the China Artificial Intelligence Society, Tan Tieniu, made academic reports on the development of artificial intelligence, the development trend and outlook of the industrial Internet, and the industry 4.0 and IoT perception.

[Industry] The rapid development of artificial intelligence is still in its infancy

What is artificial intelligence? In 1956, at a special summer speech at Dartmouth College in the United States, MIT professor John McCarthy first proposed the concept of artificial intelligence. Since then, artificial intelligence has quickly become a hot topic. Despite the many definitions of the concept, the scientific community has reached a consensus on the basic content of the artificial intelligence discipline: to study the laws of human intelligence activities, so that the machine can simulate, make it have the ability to learn, and even think and work like humans.

"In the past five scientific and technological revolutions, China has not occupied a dominant position or even been seriously absent. Therefore, GDP has fallen from more than one-third of the world's total to about a few percent of the world before the founding of New China. We should suffer from this pain. In the experience, I learned the lesson.” Academician Tan Tieniu pointed out in the report that a new round of scientific and technological revolution is in the process of gestation and is already visible. "A new round of technological revolution and industrial revolution driven by artificial intelligence as the core technology will greatly expand the human brain and become another major leap in the development of human society." However, in the eyes of many experts, despite 60 After years of development, China's artificial intelligence has made great progress, but it is still in its infancy.

[Status quo] Professional talents, teachers gaps become bottlenecks

“Currently, there are about 250,000 professional talents in the world, of which the United States accounts for two-thirds. According to preliminary estimates, the annual gap of artificial intelligence talents in China is about 1 million.” Associate Dean of the School of Computer Science, Hunan University of Technology, Artificial Zhu Wenqiu, head of the preparatory team of the Intelligent Academy, said that this level of talent pool is far from meeting the macro demand for rapid growth of artificial intelligence in the consumer market in the next few years.

“Although our province has certain advantages in terms of data accumulation and traditional industries, some sub-sectors have leading results, and relevant research investment is increasing, but compared with Beijing, Shanghai and other places, the overall talent reserve and level are still relatively high. Behind." In Zhu Wenqiu's view, artificial intelligence is a collection of multidisciplinary theories including computer and physics, especially the requirements of the mathematical foundation. "Whether it is in the field of research and development, or in the field of application, the demand for talents in all aspects of artificial intelligence has increased, which will become an important factor restricting the development of artificial intelligence in our province."

[Coping] "Science, education, education and education" double integration, training high-end talents

Faced with bottlenecks such as talent shortage and limited teacher resources in the artificial intelligence industry, the cultivation of high-skilled personnel has become the only way to "Made in China 2025", and the action of incremental talent training has been quietly carried out. On January 13, the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Hunan University of Technology was officially unveiled. At the same time, Liu Chenglin, deputy director of the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and researcher Sun Zengnan were hired as dean of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence and vice president. Academician Tan Tieniu served as the director of the academic committee of the college.

In July 2017, the state issued the “New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan” (hereinafter referred to as “Planning”), which clearly established the first-level discipline of artificial intelligence and encouraged the university to set up an artificial intelligence college. "Whether it is the "Government Work Report" or the 19th National Congress Report, artificial intelligence has been explicitly proposed as a development content, which means that artificial intelligence has risen to the national strategic level." Tan Yimin, president of Hunan Industrial University, introduced the newly established artificial intelligence. The college is positioned as an applied college.

How to build a strong faculty? It is reported that in recent years, the school and the Chinese Academy of Sciences Key Laboratory of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence have closely carried out "coordination of science and education, cooperation between industry and education", jointly carried out discipline construction, scientific research, joint training of graduate students, etc., and supported and helped the academician Tan Tieniu. Under the establishment of the "intelligence and information processing" academician workstation, creating conditions for the growth of the artificial intelligence discipline teacher team. "On the one hand, the school integrates computer science, electrical college, automation college and other faculty-related faculty. At the same time, it introduces professional talents and special professors through multiple channels. While building basic laboratories, it also cooperates with artificial intelligence enterprises to build an internship. Training base, and hired senior engineers and senior technicians as training instructors."

At present, the school has signed a school-enterprise cooperation agreement with Baidu, Tencent and many robot companies. “In addition, the Institute of Artificial Intelligence will also cooperate with Zhuzhou’s local CRRC, 608, and China Southern Airlines in talents and projects, focusing on new industrialization that focuses on serving national strategic emerging industries and Hunan’s smart manufacturing, and assisting Zhuzhou China Power. Valley construction." Tan Yimin said.

It is understood that since 2016, Hunan University and National Defense Science and Technology University have established the School of Robotics and the School of Intelligent Science respectively, and have developed undergraduate talents for artificial intelligence.
