Stepping out of the comfort zone and making AI an application tool in various fields At present, four universities in China have established AI-related research and application centers. National Chengchi University, which specializes in humanities and social sciences, will also establish an "artificial intelligence and digital education center" this year. In addition to independent research and industry-university cooperation, Another important task of the center is to provide cross-domain teaching of various colleges, including basic knowledge and application of AI, as well as collaborative research with teachers of various colleges. Zuo Ruilin, director of the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Education, said that although National Chengchi University lacks the hardware resources of traditional electrical engineering and other engineering disciplines, at present AI can not only be applied in the engineering field, but almost all humanities and social fields can be connected across fields. National Chengchi University regards AI technology as an application, and sees which related departments can be combined with it for development. He said that at present, almost all departments can connect artificial intelligence technology for related applications or research, including history, philosophy, communication or natural science. The teaching purpose of the center is not to cultivate research talents with advanced technology. It is to let students have a basic understanding of the technical connotation of artificial intelligence, and at the same time be able to connect the knowledge of their own disciplines. Not just teaching, Zuo Ruilin mentioned that the center also hopes to provide teachers in various professional fields, and can provide corresponding resources when combining artificial intelligence related technologies when conducting research. AI combined with humanities, how to cultivate interdisciplinary talents? With the rapid development of information technology, a lot of news also revolves around the discussion of which jobs will be replaced by AI in the future, including many humanities or social science jobs, which also arouses the crisis awareness of many students, worrying about the knowledge they have learned Will it be replaced? Or does the department you are in have no ability to play in the AI era? Therefore, many people will hope to empower themselves by learning different professions. Zuo Ruilin suggested that in addition to investing in your own interests, you can also increase your understanding of information technology, especially in the two core areas of AI and information security. It is not necessary to have the ability to write programs in depth or depth. Strong, but you must be able to understand the basic logic of the program and know which convenient tools are available for work; at the same time, you should also have basic information security literacy. The application of artificial intelligence not only requires professional knowledge, but also requires an understanding of relevant technical backgrounds. However, if students without information background understand artificial intelligence, and even start learning programming languages, how do you accept it? Zuo Ruilin shared that since last year, the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Education has held six public AI lectures, mainly inviting well-known AI experts and scholars outside the school or researchers of the center to give lectures, and the teachers and students who signed up are not traditional Many students from business schools, social science schools, law schools, and foreign language schools are interested in learning about related issues.
