The two-day "Qinglan Mountain Innovation Education Forum" was held in Qinglan Mountain School in Songshan Lake, Dongguan City, where experts from Tsinghua University, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Microsoft, Huawei and other education and science and technology circles shared their thoughts and practices on innovative education. The forum attracted more than 500 education experts and scholars from all over the country, as well as many principals and teachers to observe.
Wang Dianjun, the national school inspector, said at the forum that the new generation of technology represented by artificial intelligence is changing people's work, life and other aspects, the world is changing with each passing day, and it is very necessary to discuss education and future talent training. "We should consider how to train children to better adapt, create and even navigate the era of artificial intelligence, and protect their curiosity and imagination, especially the ability to actively find, analyze and solve problems. ”
In the keynote speech session, Chen Weijian, Vice Dean of Tsinghua University Shenzhen International Graduate School, Hou Yang, Chairman and CEO of Microsoft Greater China, and other guests delivered keynote speeches. In the era of artificial intelligence, what kind of education model is in line with the trend of the times?Hou Yang said that artificial intelligence is not a new thing, and it will not stop moving forward, and every student must embrace AI.
Hou Yang believes that in the past, knowledge and technology were traditionally learned for the purpose of using them in work practice, but now that technology is changing so fast that what students learn in school may become obsolete in their work. "Not only that, but the differences in social and work abilities caused by differences in students' knowledge and skills will be greatly reduced or even eliminated by AI tools. In this case, educators should consider what children learn to be useful to them for the next two decades. ”
In the two roundtable forums that followed, guests from the field of science and education had in-depth discussions on "how to adapt to the changes of primary and secondary education in the era of artificial intelligence" and "exploration of cultivating top-notch innovative talents in the international education environment".
