How does artificial intelligence empower interdisciplinary integration? This declaration states... Innovation | Artificial Intelligence | Discipline
On July 5th, the Forum on Artificial Intelligence Empowering Interdisciplinary Integration, Innovation and Development, hosted by Tongji University, opened at the Zhangjiang Science Hall in Shanghai. At the meeting, the Zhangjiang Declaration on Empowering Interdisciplinary Integration, Innovation and Development with Artificial Intelligence was released. The declaration points out that cross integration leads innovation, and artificial intelligence empowers the future. The attending parties will work together to draw blueprints, set goals, clarify paths, and coordinate actions for cross disciplinary integration empowered by artificial intelligence, so that artificial intelligence can continue to play a leading role in the development of cross disciplinary innovation.
Fang Shouen, Secretary of the Party Committee of Tongji University, stated that artificial intelligence is an interdisciplinary field that involves a wide range of fields, and its impact and importance on other disciplines cannot be ignored. In recent years, Tongji University has explored the establishment of a new artificial intelligence talent training system that integrates interdisciplinary advantages and combines science, education, industry, and education, and has made positive progress. Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongji University, said that the cross integration of AI enabling disciplines is not a simple physical superposition, but a chemical reaction of deep integration. Tongji University aims at the urgent needs of the country, with talent cultivation as the core, major platforms as carriers, scientific research tasks as the driving force, and mechanism and system innovation as the guarantee, to promote the cross disciplinary integration of artificial intelligence empowerment and continuously achieve new progress and results.
"Currently, Shanghai is fully supporting high-level universities such as Tongji University in Shanghai to focus on strengthening top-notch innovation and urgently needed talent cultivation, strengthening basic research and key core technology research, relying on artificial intelligence to upgrade and transform traditional disciplines and majors, and carrying out practice of cross disciplinary integration and innovative development of artificial intelligence." Zhou Yaming, Director of the Shanghai Education Commission, said that he looks forward to deepening cooperation among universities, research institutes, enterprises and institutions, and associations to jointly cultivate future talents in the field of artificial intelligence. "Disciplinary integration innovation is an inevitable choice for the development of higher education, empowering artificial intelligence is an inevitable choice for disciplinary integration innovation, and deepening industry education integration is an inevitable choice for the development of artificial intelligence," said Sun Zhicheng, Deputy Director of the Social Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission.
The conference officially released the Zhangjiang Declaration on Empowering Interdisciplinary Integration, Innovation and Development with Artificial Intelligence. The declaration points out that while artificial intelligence deeply empowers industries, it also brings new opportunities for interdisciplinary integration and innovative development. The attending parties reached the following consensus on how to further accelerate the interdisciplinary integration of artificial intelligence empowerment:
Grasp the trend. Promote the integration and development of education, technology, and talent, empower traditional disciplines through artificial intelligence, bring new perspectives and means, and create new models of interdisciplinary integration. Strengthen the triggering of chain breakthroughs in interdisciplinary frontiers, accelerate the integration of academic ideas and technology, assist in the transformation of systematic thinking and research paradigms, and generate significant scientific breakthroughs.
Clear direction. The focus of AI empowering interdisciplinary integration is to target international frontiers, connect with national needs, and serve industry scenarios, breaking down disciplinary barriers and achieving systematic integration in a "sea embracing all rivers" style. Through the cross discipline of AI enabling, it supports the intelligent transformation and innovative development of high-tech in all fields of society, and injects continuous vitality and energy into Chinese path to modernization.
Innovation ecosystem. Empowering artificial intelligence, optimizing the layout of disciplines and specialties, adjusting the structure of disciplines and specialties, improving the planning of discipline construction, and reforming the model of discipline and specialty construction. Facing the demands of industries in the new era, breaking down disciplinary barriers, innovating mechanisms, strengthening connotation construction through disciplinary clusters, stimulating the multiplication effect of disciplinary integration, expanding the depth and breadth of disciplinary intersection, innovating education ecology, and cultivating interdisciplinary and composite innovative talents with artificial intelligence thinking.
Collaborative promotion. Break down the barriers between schools, enterprises, and academies, and deepen the connotation of interdisciplinary integration through the integration of industry and education, and the integration of science and education. Empowering artificial intelligence as a catalyst, gathering multidisciplinary forces, focusing on the real needs of the industry, exploring cutting-edge challenges, and promoting close collaboration between universities and society, scientific research and services, discipline construction, and industry demand.
