Why is this major good?
The development trend of all walks of life is automation and intelligence. In recent years, with the substantial improvement of computing power, some artificial intelligence theories accumulated in the past decades can be realized and reached the level of mature commercialization, thus promoting this wave of artificial intelligence. At present, the most typical theory supported by technology is the neural network model proposed by 1943, and the most typical product is image recognition.
The artificial intelligence specialty is born in response to this trend. Its most realistic purpose is to make full use of the existing theories and technologies, accelerate the automation and intelligence covering all industries, and actively explore and make further breakthroughs.
Description of employment direction
To put IT bluntly, automation and intelligence are IT's own jobs, so naturally the most suitable major for artificial intelligence is IT industry. At present, we are mainly engaged in the research and development of image recognition, speech and semantic recognition, content (including commodity) recommendation and other related products.
For the financial industry, it is essentially a very complex nonlinear system-such as the stock market. There are many factors that can be influenced, so this industry has always had a quantitative dream-that is, to avoid risks and gain profits to the maximum through mathematical models, and all this will be done automatically by computers. So there is also a strong demand for artificial intelligence.
As for equipment manufacturing, communication and other fields, it is expected to improve its automation and intelligence level through artificial intelligence technology. This is easy to understand, such as the smart home equipment closest to ordinary people.
Problems in employment
This part belongs to throwing cold water on it. As mentioned earlier, this wave of artificial intelligence realized the theory more than N years ago because of its sufficient computing power. In fact, there are not many mature technologies this time, mainly image recognition, speech recognition and semantic recognition, the latter is not very mature (speech recognition can only recognize Mandarin, semantic recognition is not very mature), and there are also some recommended data analysis &; Mining technology, etc.
These mature technologies were quickly made into universal platforms or products by unicorn and head companies-such as Shang Tang's face recognition products.
Then there are not many opportunities for latecomers, which is why a large number of ai companies closed down after 65,438+08 months in 2065,438+08-and this time he was right.
There are only two ways to change this situation: 1) make another theoretical breakthrough; 2) Transform and optimize mature technologies; 3) Apply technology to specific fields or scenarios. For example, automatic identification of garbage classification based on image recognition. 2) and 3) There are still many opportunities and gaps; And 1) also needs top talents to complete. So even with these problems, it is still a good major.
abstract
To sum up: good major and wide employment, but don't be the first in the universe.
Welcome to follow me and comment!
Wang Wansen, director of the Education Committee of China Artificial Intelligence Society, experienced the whole process of the establishment and development of undergraduate majors in intelligence science and technology. In his eyes, there is no essential difference between intelligence science and technology major and artificial intelligence major, but the name is different.
At the same time, Wang Wansen said: "Artificial intelligence is not an isolated major, but a professional course." For example, the major of "Data Science and Big Data Technology" has been derived along the discipline field of big data intelligence; The specialty of "Robot Engineering" is derived from the discipline of intelligent autonomous system ... "With the rapid development and in-depth application of the new generation of artificial intelligence, it is likely that new specialties will be continuously derived, thus forming a new professional category of artificial intelligence with intelligence science and technology specialty/artificial intelligence specialty as the core and derivative specialty."
At present, the enrollment of artificial intelligence is still in control science and engineering (automation) or computer science and technology without the first-level discipline of artificial intelligence.
Intelligence science and technology major was proposed by the Department of Intelligent Science in 2003. The predecessor of the Department of Intelligent Science is the Information Science Center of Peking University. Established in 1985 10 department of mathematics, computer science and electronics in Peking University, it is mainly engaged in the research and teaching of interdisciplinary subjects such as machine perception, intelligent robots, intelligent information processing and machine learning. As of 20 19, there are 155 intelligence science and technology majors in Chinese universities. 38 people majoring in artificial intelligence; Data Science and Big Data Technology: 509; Robot engineering major: 194. Up to now, there are more than 200 colleges and universities offering artificial intelligence, and most of them have evolved from majors in intelligence science and technology, or even changed their names directly, just as Wang Wansen said. So I will explain the artificial intelligence major in detail based on intelligence science and technology major.

This major is suitable for entrance examination.
This major is a better university.
Tsinghua University, Peking University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Nanjing University, Fudan University, Harbin Institute of Technology, China University of Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Southeast University, Beihang University, Xi Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University, Sun Yat-sen University, Sichuan University, Jilin University, Tongji University, Wuhan University, Shandong University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Nankai University, xidian university, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, South China University of Technology, Hunan University.
I'm YiRon, focusing on the field of college entrance examination planning. Welcome attention. I will bring you more professional, volunteer and university information about the college entrance examination.
This is a very good question. As an educator, let me answer.
First of all, the current artificial intelligence major is a hot major. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, there is a great demand for artificial intelligence professionals, so choosing artificial intelligence major at present will have broad employment prospects.
With the joint promotion of industrial internet and industrial structure upgrading, a large number of industrial resources and social resources will be gathered in the field of artificial intelligence in the future, and the post added value of artificial intelligence-related posts will be relatively high, which is obvious in graduate employment in recent years. With the current large-scale Internet (technology) companies starting to lay out the field of artificial intelligence, there is still much room for growth in the demand for artificial intelligence professionals in the future.
For a long time, the cultivation of artificial intelligence professionals is mainly based on graduate education. At present, some universities have set up artificial intelligence majors at the undergraduate level, and more universities will set up artificial intelligence majors at the undergraduate level in the future. After the application of artificial intelligence technology, the field of artificial intelligence needs not only high-end talents with innovative ability, but also a large number of skilled talents with industrial application ability, and the demand for skilled talents is often greater. From this perspective, undergraduates and even junior college students will study artificial intelligence in the future, and their employment prospects will be better.
Artificial intelligence is a typical interdisciplinary subject, involving philosophy, mathematics, computer, control, economics, neurology and linguistics, so it is not only a large amount of knowledge, but also relatively difficult to learn. Therefore, if you choose artificial intelligence, you must be fully prepared.
Finally, although you can choose the major of artificial intelligence at the present undergraduate stage, you should consider studying for a graduate student in the direction of artificial intelligence if you want to get better development.
If you have questions about the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, or postgraduate entrance examination, you can leave a message in the comment area or privately trust me!
It is worth noting that at present, artificial intelligence majors are being run from the Ministry of Education to local universities.
To a large extent, this is a great prospect for the future of the artificial intelligence industry. Therefore, it is also timely to choose artificial intelligence major, big data science major and Internet of Things major at this time. In a few years' time, I'm afraid my scores will shrink when I fill in my volunteers for the college entrance examination. Ordinary schools are difficult to get into.
Specifically, I have a special analysis in the column of salt selection in cooperation with Zhihu:
Of course, first of all, I suggest you carefully understand the relevant theories of artificial intelligence and data analysis, otherwise it is very embarrassing not to know if you are interested. Here, I recommend reading the following free materials:
More than 100 schools have opened artificial intelligence majors this year. Moreover, the future employment prospects of artificial intelligence major are very broad, and the selectivity of students is also very wide.
Therefore, choosing an artificial intelligence major after completing the college entrance examination is not completely without problems.
However, at present, when the college entrance examination fills in volunteers, in fact, everyone should pay attention to such a pit: if you choose artificial intelligence major, you must carefully judge whether this school is qualified to offer this artificial intelligence major.
Because on the one hand, there is a serious shortage of teachers in many universities, resulting in only the name of this major, but there is no real faculty.
At present, objectively speaking, it is suitable for a few top universities such as Tsinghua, Peking University, Fudan University and Jiaotong University, as well as teachers such as Harbin Institute of Technology, China University of Science and Technology and Xi Jiaotong University.
Many other schools, especially local newly-built undergraduate colleges, generally offer this major only for the convenience of college enrollment, adding a gimmick. Many teachers are patchwork, and there is no more authoritative artificial intelligence teaching team.
Of course, what we said earlier is that it is normal for college majors to have pits. Because as a new major, it faces great uncertainty.
But in general, the artificial intelligence industry has great potential, as long as you choose a school with good school strength. The future development prospect is still very good.
Finally, I attach the teaching plan of artificial intelligence specialty to you.
It can be said that these two years are the first two years for the professional development of artificial intelligence, and they are the era of artificial intelligence. Many countries in the world are stepping up their research on artificial intelligence, which can be said to be the future world. Whoever has mastered artificial intelligence will have mastered the future.
Therefore, this major is very good, and now it belongs to the field supported by the state, and the future employment prospects are very broad. It is also a newly opened major in many first-class universities in China in the past two years.
School choice: a double-class university (2 1 1985 University). Besides, don't look.
In addition, because the major is relatively new, the construction level of each university is definitely different, so we should pay attention to screening (check the background of university teachers through various channels).
Everyone's answers are similar, and the artificial intelligence major is introduced in detail. Let me say something different.
I think artificial intelligence will lead human society to the third industrial revolution.
The first industrial revolution, the steam engine era liberated people's hands and greatly improved the productivity of society;
The second industrial revolution, the rapid development of electricity-based related technologies, made the communication between people closer, shortened the distance between people, and further enhanced social productivity. Promote the rapid development of human science.
I think the third industrial revolution will be represented by artificial intelligence technology, which will liberate the human brain, combine artificial intelligence with all walks of life, explore things that the human brain has never touched, and release infinite possibilities.
So the importance of artificial intelligence is unparalleled.
Doctor of computer science, sharing knowledge, welcome to pay attention.
It is difficult to find a tall job, that is, a code farmer a few years ago. Major is a good major, a very good major. But it is also necessary to analyze specific problems. In fact, artificial intelligence is very easy to find a job, and the national strategic needs are very professional. Ivy League and other good universities, such as MIT, come back from studying abroad, get a chief engineer, a senior engineer or something, or start their own high-tech company. If the candidate is studying artificial intelligence in an unknown vocational college or technical school in a small local city, forget it. Looking for a job is not as good as a normal computer major. After graduation, I will teach computers in primary and secondary schools. Listening to the name is very avant-garde, and looking for a job is too advanced. Not in a city like Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hangzhou, it is equivalent to an adventure island.
Artificial intelligence is a popular major with great potential, and it can do all kinds of identification. And data analysis. You can look at the courses of hundreds of programmers.
With the joint promotion of industrial Internet and industrial structure upgrading, artificial intelligence will gather a large number of industrial resources and social resources in the future, and the post added value of artificial intelligence-related posts will be relatively high, which is obvious in graduate employment in recent years. With the current large-scale Internet (technology) companies starting to lay out the field of artificial intelligence, there is still much room for growth in the demand for artificial intelligence professionals in the future.
After the application of artificial intelligence technology, the field of artificial intelligence needs not only high-end talents with innovative ability, but also a large number of skilled talents with industrial application ability, and the demand for skilled talents is often greater. From this perspective, undergraduates and even junior college students will study artificial intelligence in the future, and their employment prospects will be better.
