Shu Jinlong, Director of the Shanghai Academic Degrees Office, stated that in June this year, eight national departments issued the "Implementation Plan for Empowering and Enhancing the Integration of Industry and Education in Vocational Education", providing a roadmap and guidance for building industry education integrated enterprises and consolidating the foundation of vocational education development in colleges and universities. Shanghai is one of the first pilot cities for the integration of industry and education in China. Currently, according to policy documents, it is promoting the implementation of industry and education integration projects in various districts and leading enterprises throughout the city.

Pudong is the largest cluster of Internet platform enterprises in Shanghai. Currently, there are about 200 cultural and creative Internet platform enterprises, with a group of leading Internet enterprises represented by games. The total revenue is about 130 billion yuan, accounting for about 1/4 of the city.

"Having gone through several transformations from PC games to web games, then to mobile games, and then setting sail to explore gaming+in the gaming industry, the exploration of AI gaming technology and AI talent cultivation is now our new focus." said Xu Renbin, one of the initiators of the AIGC Industry and Education Center and the General Manager of Pok City, AI technology is showing an explosive trend this year, which is even more rapid and intuitive for the gaming industry. On the one hand, AI technology empowers various aspects of the game product lifecycle, such as plot creation, music and sound effects, gameplay logic during the research and development period, user profiling and precise advertising during the release period, as well as data analysis and activity models during the operation period, which can play a good auxiliary role in improving output efficiency, operation quality, and creating high-quality content. On the other hand, games can also provide highly controllable simulation training environments and massive experimental data for AI technology, promoting the progress of AI in technological innovation, application expansion, and cross domain feedback. In the field of "gaming+healthcare", AI technology has been applied to digital medical products to provide assistance in addressing pain points in traditional healthcare. For example, the first gamified digital medical product in the gaming industry to obtain a Class II medical device registration certificate, Happy Vision Planet, released last year, applied AI algorithm visual recognition technology.

"Due to the co driving relationship between games and AI technology, the gaming industry has put forward new requirements for talent's ability dimensions." Xu Renbin revealed that Pok City will co host the 2023 China AI Game Developers Competition with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, recruiting college student game development teams to universities across the country. Through teaching AI game production tools, while helping participating students complete game works, they will further explore and cultivate a new generation of AI game development teams. The organizer will provide free systematic training to help the team complete the competition through practical training, comprehensive support, and precise service methods. Through the "Boosting the Horse and Sending Off the Journey" industry education course, local game companies in Shanghai are expected to help the birth of the new generation of "AI Game Four Dragons".

This conference is supported by the China Association of Audiovisual and Digital Publishing, the Education Guidance Committee of the Ministry of Education for College Animation and Digital Media, and the Shanghai Student Affairs Center. It is jointly organized by the National Computer Basic Education Research Association of Higher Education Institutions and the Propaganda Department of the Pudong New Area Committee. The conference is jointly organized by the China International Game Education and Industry Alliance, the China University Electronic Sports Alliance, the Shanghai Online Game Industry Association, the Shanghai Cultural and Creative Industry Promotion Association, and the Pok City.
