The top 10 universities in artificial intelligence major are: University of Electronic Science and Technology of China 1, xidian university, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Southeast University, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Nanjing University and Zhejiang University.

Artificial intelligence (AI)

The English abbreviation is AI. It is a new technical science to study and develop theories, methods, technologies and application systems that simulate, extend and expand human intelligence. Artificial intelligence is an important driving force for the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation.

Artificial intelligence is an important part of intelligence. It tries to understand the essence of intelligence and produces a new intelligent machine that can respond in a way similar to human intelligence. The research in this field includes robot, language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing and expert system.

Since the birth of artificial intelligence, the theory and technology are becoming more and more mature, and the application fields are expanding. It is conceivable that the technological products brought by artificial intelligence in the future will be the "containers" of human wisdom. Artificial intelligence can simulate the information process of human consciousness and thinking. Artificial intelligence is not human intelligence, but it can think like human beings, or it may exceed human intelligence.

Consciousness and artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is essentially a simulation of human thinking information process. The simulation of human thinking can be carried out in two ways. One is structural simulation, which imitates the structural mechanism of the human brain and creates a "human brain-like" machine.

The second is functional simulation, which temporarily abandons the internal structure of the human brain and simulates it from its functional process. The appearance of modern electronic computer is a simulation of the thinking function of human brain and an information process of human brain thinking.

Weak artificial intelligence is developing rapidly now, especially after the economic crisis in 2008, the United States, Japan and Europe all hope to realize re-industrialization through robots. Industrial robots are developing at an unprecedented speed, which further promotes the continuous breakthrough of weak artificial intelligence and related industries. Many jobs that must be done by people can now be done by robots.
