Artificial intelligence is so hot. Why is there no artificial intelligence?

When it comes to artificial intelligence, we have to answer one question - what is artificial intelligence? But from the current point of view, experts have not yet clearly defined the main reason is that its concept is too broad. Queries on Baidu Encyclopedia, artificial intelligence is generally defined as a branch of computer science: artificial intelligence attempts to understand the essence of intelligence and produce a new kind of intelligent machine that can respond in a similar way to human intelligence. Research areas include natural language processing, machine learning, neural networks, pattern recognition, intelligent search, etc.; applications include machine translation, language and image understanding, automatic programming, and expert systems.

From this it can be seen that artificial intelligence is a broad concept in which both technology and theory are developing, and as the application continues to expand, its scope is constantly expanding. Some experts even believe that artificial intelligence belongs to the cross of social sciences and natural sciences, involving mathematics, psychology, neurophysiology, information theory, computer science, philosophy and cognitive science, uncertainty theory, and cybernetics.

In fact, since artificial intelligence belongs to the direction of in-depth research and requires a certain foundation, many undergraduates do not have specialized or in-depth AI or ML majors. Although undergraduates do not have artificial intelligence, many universities in China have started researching artificial intelligence very early.

It is reported that China is a C9 university (the nine-school alliance, that is, the nine first-rate universities constructed by the country's first batch of 985 key projects, including Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Nanjing University, Zhejiang University, University of Science and Technology of China, Harbin Industrial University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, a total of 9 colleges and universities and the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute are the representatives. At present, artificial intelligence research has done a better job.

For example, teacher He Zhijun from Zhejiang University established a computer science major in 1978, and positioned artificial intelligence as a key development direction of computer majors at Zheda University, laying a direction and foundation for Zhejiang University’s artificial intelligence research. He Zhiyun trained Pan Yunhe and Professor Wu Zhaohui as the presidents of Zhejiang University. Academician Pan Yunhe is currently leading the work of the National Expert Committee on “A new generation artificial intelligence (AI) 2.0”.

NetEase Intelligence learned from the Chinese Artificial Intelligence Society that the Institute has cooperated with the China Institute of Automation, the Chinese Institute of Electronics, the China Institute of Communications and other 20 institutions and Beijing University, Zhejiang University and other 42 universities, made a "smart science and technology" Level Disciplinary Report. At present, 36 universities and colleges have set up undergraduate programs for “Intelligent Science and Technology” under the formal approval of the Ministry of Education. In the Ministry of Education’s postgraduate professional directory, there are 79 specialties related to “Intelligent Science and Technology”.

The urgent need for talents forced the setting of the first-level disciplines in the field of artificial intelligence to speed up. Wu Fei, deputy dean of the School of Computer Science at Zhejiang University and director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence at Zhejiang University, said in an interview with the media that there are currently no majors in artificial intelligence at the domestic university level. Artificial intelligence is currently a research direction in computer science. In addition, artificial intelligence is closely integrated with informatics. Therefore, the majors of computer science and technology, control science, software engineering, and statistical mathematics are closely integrated with artificial intelligence and have high correlation in the discipline. At present, there are universities that have set up related majors in data science and directly link applications in the field of artificial intelligence.

However, artificial intelligence disciplines and related technologies are not yet a first-level subject in China. Yang Fangchun, executive deputy director of the China Artificial Intelligence Society and professor at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, pointed out in an interview with the media: “Because AI is not a first-level discipline, AI-related professional teaching and research activities are scattered among many other first-level disciplines. The curriculum is not the focus of learning content, and the proportion of school hours is also relatively low. There are problems with high and low development, fragmentation, and low level of repetition, which seriously hinder the development of China's intelligent science and technology and the cultivation of intelligent technical personnel."

In July this year, the State Council promulgated the “New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan” clearly stating that we should vigorously build artificial intelligence disciplines. "Planning" pointed out that improving the disciplines in the field of artificial intelligence, setting up artificial intelligence, promoting the establishment of first-level disciplines in the area of ​​artificial intelligence, establishing artificial intelligence colleges as soon as possible in pilot colleges, and increasing the number of doctoral and master's degrees in artificial intelligence-related disciplines. Encourage colleges and universities to broaden the content of artificial intelligence professional education on the basis of the original, form a new model of “artificial intelligence +X” composite specialty, and pay attention to artificial intelligence and mathematics, computer science, physics, biology, psychology, sociology, law and other disciplines Cross-integration of professional education. Strengthen the cooperation between industry, university and research institutes, and encourage universities, research institutes, and enterprises to cooperate in the development of artificial intelligence disciplines.

This affirms the status of the first level subject of artificial intelligence from the government level. With the introduction of "Planning", colleges and universities around the world have started to build artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence colleges. For example, the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences recently announced that it has officially announced the establishment of an artificial intelligence technical college, becoming the first new type of college in the field of artificial intelligence technology to fully carry out teaching and research work.

China's AI has a talent gap of one million and good salary, but academic gap between China and the United States is still very large

The fire in the artificial intelligence industry has spurred the employment of AI talent. According to estimates of relevant experts, the gap in the demand for talent in the artificial intelligence field in China is approaching 1 million every year!

Wu Fei believes that artificial intelligence is highly permeable, and it can be combined with robotics, economics, and medicine to form an innovative application of 'artificial intelligence +X'. It can be linked with engineering, humanities, law, etc., supporting these disciplines to undergo tremendous changes in the context of big data.

According to a university's director of enrollment this year, currently artificial intelligence is a research direction of computer science. Currently, it is mainly recruiting students at graduate level.

According to the “Global Artificial Intelligence Development Report” produced by Netease Technology and Wuzhen Think Tank in 2016, the top ten Chinese artificial intelligence universities are respectively Tsinghua University, Peking University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University, Fudan University, and Nanjing University. , Southeast University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, etc.

In addition, the ranking of global universities in artificial intelligence is: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, Harvard University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of California, Berkeley, University of Toronto, Yale University, University of Edinburgh ,Cornell University. In addition, American giants such as Microsoft, Google, Facebook and Amazon have also established artificial intelligence research institutions.

In the TOP50 AI discipline rankings summarized in the “Report” above, most of the top rankings are universities in Europe and the United States, especially American universities, and none of the universities in China are in the top 50. It can be seen that the gap between China and the United States in the academic field of artificial intelligence is still large. However, fortunately, China’s academic research in the field of artificial intelligence has seen explosive growth in recent years. The number of patent applications and licenses has increased a lot, and the number of patent applications and authorizations has exceeded that of the United States.

As for compensation, some experts pointed out that the current domestic Internet and technology giants are vigorously recruiting artificial intelligence related talents, which makes this part of professional students very sought-after. These companies include not only BAT giants but also NetEase, Hikvision, Huawei, HKUST, and other famous companies. According to Wu Fei, the current initial salary of doctors who graduated from artificial intelligence research can reach 300,000 yuan.
