On September 17, 20 18 World Artificial Intelligence Congress opened the "Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Sub-forum". At the forum, some students showed their own artificial intelligence product-Douding metronome, which is an "artifact" to pat the baby to sleep, which can alleviate the hard work of the mother with the baby. Some students think about whether the wheelchair can be controlled by body movements, and then complete the natural human-computer interaction.

In the era of artificial intelligence, whether teachers will be replaced is also a focus of discussion in the forum. Experts attending the meeting believe that with the development of the Internet, the traditional education model has undergone tremendous changes, but artificial intelligence will not completely replace teachers in the future, and the core value of human teachers in the future should be more about educating people.

Zhu, a junior one student in Xuhui Middle School, showed his artificial intelligence product-Douding metronome at the forum, which is an "artifact" to pat a baby to sleep. All pictures are provided by Shanghai Communist Youth League Committee.

The enthusiasm of teenagers to participate in artificial intelligence is budding.

How popular is artificial intelligence among teenagers?

In the Shanghai Youth Artificial Intelligence Innovation Competition held in August, 2065438+2008, there were nearly 1,000 entries from schools and students in the city. In the past two years, computer programming training courses for young students have mushroomed. Even in the love summer care class of 20 18, many classes frequently offer courses such as programming and robotics, and a wide variety of stem courses have gradually emerged in educational institutions, attracting many young people to participate.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that at the end of April 20 18, the world's first artificial intelligence general education textbook "Artificial Intelligence Basis" (high school edition) jointly compiled by Shanghai senior high school teachers was also released in Shanghai, and 40 schools across the country became the first batch of "Artificial Intelligence Education Experimental Base Schools", including the Second Affiliated High School of East China Normal University and the High School Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University. This is the first time that AI textbooks have been introduced into the domestic secondary education system, marking the first time.

The role that teenagers can play in the era of artificial intelligence should not be underestimated.

At this "Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Sub-forum", Xu Chenhao, a 4-year-old from Luwan Middle School/KLOC, told reporters that he is a member of the School Information Olympiad. Every afternoon after school, he learns to write code 1.5 hours with a group of "young students" of similar age. The youngest Shi Ji 'an is only 10 years old this year. He comes from Zhabei No.2 Central Primary School in Jing 'an District, and he has developed a set of small software "oral arithmetic gadgets". The original intention of software design is to help my deskmate practice oral arithmetic. My dream is to help more people with my professional skills.

The innovation and application of artificial intelligence products cannot be separated from reality. In this forum, Zhu, a junior one student of Xuhui Middle School, showed his artificial intelligence product-Douding metronome. This is an "artifact" that pats the baby to sleep, which relieves the mother of the hard work of taking care of the baby.

Jiang is a senior three student in No.1 Middle School in Jiading District. Because his grandmother has synovitis, he is highly paralyzed. "Can she control the wheelchair with her body movements" has become a question she has been thinking about. In this forum, Jiang introduced the use of surface electromechanical signals to control wheelchairs, thus completing natural human-computer interaction. The system can not only help disabled people, but also help stroke patients to carry out rehabilitation training and let them live a better life.

Han Bicheng, a doctor of brain science at Harvard University and founder of BRAINCO, believes that artificial intelligence not only brings technological innovation, but also further enhances the accessibility of ordinary people to high-tech products and further reduces the cost of innovative products.

In his eyes, the next generation technology of artificial intelligence is brain-computer interface. At present, the prosthetic limb controlled by Will in the world costs about 400,000 yuan. Han's team spent nine years inventing a cheap and easy-to-use intelligent prosthesis. The price is only 1/20 now. The product is worn on the arms of disabled people who have lost their hands for more than 20 years. He used his brain to control the prosthesis and completed a series of actions such as calligraphy and shaking hands.

Teachers are difficult to be replaced, but they must be transformed.

"Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Sub-forum" not only pays attention to innovation and entrepreneurship in the field of artificial intelligence, but also pays attention to youth artificial intelligence entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence education and future development trends.

At present, there is a saying that more than 50% of jobs will be replaced by artificial intelligence in the next 10 year. What impact does artificial intelligence have on the education industry?

Such worries are based on reality. Lin Hui, co-founder and chief scientist, pointed out the 3.0 education model at the forum. "1.0 is traditional education, like classroom teaching now, and 2.0 is online education. Online education existed as early as when the Internet first appeared, which was also called distance education. But because the network connection is not particularly good, the effect is not particularly excellent. At 20 10, the' curtain class' appeared. However, at present, with the rise of the Internet and the maturity of live broadcast technology, the interaction between teachers and students on the Internet has gradually strengthened, but targeted training and personalized courses are still lacking. "

Education 3.0 is Lin Hui's "intelligent education", which mainly relies on artificial intelligence technology. "Through the automation of artificial intelligence, there will be a more scientific evaluation system and a more efficient learning process can be realized. It can customize the learning path for each student, formulate learning methods, have fairer educational opportunities and low-cost replication. Send artificial intelligence teachers to some areas where educational resources are scarce. " Lin Hui said.

Will teachers be replaced in the era of artificial intelligence?

Lin Hui said that in the future, artificial intelligence will not completely replace teachers, but in the era of artificial intelligence, the role of teachers will change greatly. "Some repetitive tasks, such as knowledge transfer and skills training, can be replaced by artificial intelligence. The change of teachers' role can put their energy and talent in a more important place, that is, the part of educating people, that is, the part of preaching. I think the core value of human teachers in the future is more about educating people. "
