The artificial intelligence major is in the spotlight.
In recent years, the artificial intelligence major has attracted much attention and has become one of the hottest majors at present.
In 2019, the Ministry of Education launched the "Double Ten Thousand Plan" for the construction of first-class undergraduate majors, and a total of 9 universities with artificial intelligence majors were selected as "national first-class undergraduate majors".
These universities are Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Nanjing University, Xidian University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Southeast University, Central South University, Sichuan University, and Shandong University.
Among these nine universities, there is one in Shanghai, two in Jiangsu, one in Shaanxi, two in Sichuan, and one each in Hubei, Hunan and Shandong.
In addition, according to the national ranking of new majors in the past five years, artificial intelligence majors ranked first in the number of new majors in the country, and a total of 499 universities added artificial intelligence majors.
This is also one of the largest number of majors added by colleges and universities in the past five years.
Artificial intelligence is an interdisciplinary and emerging discipline based on computer science and interdisciplinary integration of computer, psychology, philosophy and other disciplines.
This provides students with a broader disciplinary vision and knowledge structure, and cultivates a more comprehensive professional quality.
In addition to 9 national first-class undergraduate majors, 19 universities have also been selected as "provincial first-class undergraduate majors".
In the 2023 Chinese University Rankings, the top 9 universities for Chinese artificial intelligence majors are Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Nanjing University, Xidian University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, University of Science and Technology of China, Harbin Institute of Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Southeast University.
Graduates majoring in artificial intelligence are paid very well.
After graduating, many graduate students can earn an annual salary of seven or eight hundred thousand or even millions.
This is also one of the important reasons for attracting more and more students to choose artificial intelligence majors.
To sum up, the development momentum of artificial intelligence is rapid, and it has attracted the attention and heated discussion of students and society.
Its comprehensiveness, forward-looking and excellent employment prospects make this major one of the most sought-after majors.
