Recently, the State Council released the Development Plan of the New Generation of Artificial Intelligence (hereinafter referred to as the Plan), which clearly pointed out that artificial intelligence has become the new focus of international competition. It is necessary to gradually carry out the national intelligence education project, offer artificial intelligence-related courses in primary and secondary schools, gradually promote programming education, build artificial intelligence disciplines, cultivate compound talents, and form a highland of artificial intelligence talents in China.
In 2030, it will develop into a major artificial intelligence innovation center in the world.
In the overall development plan of artificial intelligence technology in China, the "three-step" development strategy of a new generation of artificial intelligence in China is also clearly put forward:
In 2020, the overall technology and application of artificial intelligence will keep pace with the world's advanced level, the artificial intelligence industry will become a new important economic growth point, and the application of artificial intelligence technology will become a new way to improve people's livelihood;
In 2025, the basic theory of artificial intelligence achieved a major breakthrough, and some technologies and applications reached the world leading level. Artificial intelligence has become the main driving force of industrial upgrading and economic transformation in China, and the construction of intelligent society has made positive progress;
In 2030, the theory, technology and application of artificial intelligence reached the world's leading level and became the world's major artificial intelligence innovation center.
Set up artificial intelligence courses in primary and secondary schools to promote programming education
The "Planning" proposes to implement the national intelligence education project, offer artificial intelligence-related courses in primary and secondary schools, gradually promote programming education, and encourage social forces to participate in the development and promotion of educational programming teaching software and games. Support the development of artificial intelligence competitions and encourage various forms of artificial intelligence popular science creation.
Among them, 20 17 "Science Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education Primary Schools" proposed that the starting grade of primary school science curriculum should be adjusted to grade one from the fall of 20 17 in order to further strengthen primary school science education. In principle, the first and second grades of primary schools shall be arranged with no less than 1 class hour per week, and the class hours of the third to sixth grades shall remain unchanged.
Colleges and universities increase master's training to form "artificial intelligence +X" mode.
The plan points out that it is necessary to further improve the discipline layout in the field of artificial intelligence, set up artificial intelligence majors, promote the construction of first-class disciplines in the field of artificial intelligence, establish artificial intelligence colleges in pilot universities as soon as possible, and increase the enrollment of doctoral and master's degrees in artificial intelligence-related disciplines.
Encourage colleges and universities to broaden the education content of artificial intelligence specialty on the original basis, form a new training mode of "artificial intelligence +X" compound specialty, attach importance to the cross-integration of artificial intelligence with mathematics, computer science, physics, biology, psychology, sociology, law and other disciplines, and cultivate high-level artificial intelligence innovative talents and teams.
Popularize intelligent interactive education and open R&D platform.
The Plan also points out that comprehensive intelligence education can not be ignored in the talent training plan. Through the construction of smart campus, we will promote the application of artificial intelligence in the whole process of teaching, management and resource construction, establish a learner-centered interactive education environment, and provide accurate education services to realize the customization of daily education and lifelong education.
In addition, the layout and construction of scientific and technological innovation bases, the improvement of artificial intelligence popular science infrastructure and the opening of artificial intelligence R&D platform to the public are also important components that cannot be ignored in the whole intelligent education development plan.
The development of artificial intelligence is the general trend, and all industries will be upgraded and changed with artificial intelligence in the future. More industries and emerging business models will be born. The education of children needs to keep up with the trend of the times. After all, the children we are cultivating now should consider the work and competition pattern after 10 -20 years.
It is good to receive children's intellectual education.
