If you chase stars, chase scientists! Future Forum and iFlytek jointly launch campus science lectures
How much is the world’s first AI painting worth? Recently, the "Chasing Stars, Follow Scientists" campus public welfare science popularization activity jointly launched by the Future Forum and iFlytek of HKUST went to Yangming Middle School in Ganzhou City. Zhang Ya, a young scientist from the Future Forum and chief researcher of the School of Telecommunications of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, led the students to explore artificial intelligence The secret of intelligence.
It may be difficult to imagine that humans have imagined intelligence in the 8th century BC: in Homer's epic "The Iliad", Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, created a group of mechanical maids out of gold. Able to interpret meanings, have a mouth to speak, hands to use force, and proficient in manual manufacturing." In the epic "Argonauts" of the 3rd century BC, Hephaestus created the first "killer robot." It can be said that humanoid machines have always been pursued by humans.
What are the AI scenarios in life? In addition to common autonomous driving, unmanned warehouses, etc., Zhang Ya introduced some interesting application examples, such as: AI agriculture’s “smart pig farming”, AI industry’s “safety patrol robot”, AI medical’s “intelligent imaging doctor” "wait.
"How much did the world's first AI painting cost? 3 million yuan!" This was an answer that surprised the students present, but this is the value created by AI. Ever since AlphaGo defeated Ke Jie, AI has shocked people time and again. Music creation, video enhancement, art creation...it can do much more than people imagined. And the "emerging" ChatGPT made people feel the "emergence of wisdom" of AI.
During the interactive session, students asked Zhang Ya: "Will artificial intelligence cause social conflicts and will some jobs be replaced?" Zhang Ya said that as AI develops more rapidly, some simple and repetitive jobs may be replaced. Jobs that are replaced by AI but require unique human skills such as judgment, creativity, and high emotional intelligence will not be replaced for at least ten years.
"Chasing Stars, Follow Scientists" campus science popularization lecture was jointly sponsored by Future Forum and iFlytek. Over the past six years, more and more young scientists have entered many primary and secondary schools across the country. In 2023, the new season of "Chasing Stars, Follow Scientists" series will focus on the winning areas of the "Future Science Award", inviting young scientists to share the progress of cutting-edge science and technology, aiming to provide young people with an opportunity to communicate closely with scientists in the form of dialogue and guide the future Establish a scientific spirit in one generation.
