Chapter 63 Ji Hong just wants to do something big
Wang Yao is indeed very capable.

Ji Hong also took a closer look at the work he participated in the robot competition and found out what it was. It was roughly the same concept as an all-terrain robot dog, except that Wang Yao was miniaturized. How miniaturized it was, about the size of a grasshopper.

"I originally wanted to make it smaller," Wang Yao said: "It would be best to make it directly to the nanometer level, but the related materials are too expensive and there is no place for customization, so I gave up."

"AI combined with bionic nanorobots? It's an ultra-cutting-edge technology field!" Ji Hong sighed.

However, compared to the AI ​​bionic nanorobot, Wang Yao's big grasshopper obviously has a much lower technical content, and all he did was assembly and C programming, coupled with subsequent extension ideas, he won the second prize. Prizes.

The hardware and limbs are all customized at a high price, and they have no special practicality - obviously this is not a child from a poor family.

Do rich kids also care about the "biochemical environmental materials" tiankeng? Don’t you just go home and take over after graduation? Then it’s the same thing if you don’t study anything? Or go directly to study business administration or something!

Ji Hong did not ask about such a privacy issue, but encouraged Wang Yao. Ji Hong himself was indeed very optimistic about the prospect of the combination of biotechnology and computers.

If computers and AI are tools and means, then if humans have the opportunity to make a leap in the future, they will probably be able to rely on biotechnology.

……

Throughout the day, Ji Hong found many volunteers who were trained in the Growth Pilot Model and chatted with them one by one. He found that there were very few people like Wang Yao who had a clear understanding of themselves.

As Professor Zhang Mingzhen said, most students can’t explain why they chose this major in college, or they were even directly transferred there.

After being transferred in, they neither liked nor were good at this major.

Moreover, there are not many such people.

"This is a big problem!" In fact, Ji Hong knew without investigating that they all came from college. It is not uncommon for students who have not been transferred to any major.

This is also one of the disadvantages of higher education - this should also be one of the factors that cause many students to change careers and not engage in professional work after graduation.

According to statistics, less than 30% of people are still working in this major three years after graduation.

This also includes fields such as medicine and law that are very professional and generally do not change careers. If these are removed, the ratio will be even lower.

"Actually, the problem is not as serious as you think." After Professor Zhang Mingzhen learned about the relevant situation, he also said to Ji Hong:
"Whether you are good at it or not is actually a pseudo-concept. Except for a very small number of people, most people are average, and the impact is actually not big."

"I agree with the term average, but if I don't agree, it won't have much impact." Ji Hong shook his head: "A person may be particularly good at one or two things, particularly poor at one or two things, and his other abilities may be relatively average.

"But average is roughly equivalent to mediocrity, and the bright spots are all stifled. In the end, everyone becomes exactly the same. How can this impact not be great?"

"Of course we know about this issue, and education experts have mentioned it countless times." Professor Zhang Mingzhen sighed:
"But with China's population of 14 billion and the number of college students close to million, compared with our teaching staff and educational resources, we cannot achieve precise education in any case, and can only train in batches."

"So, this is the significance of the growth pilot model, Professor Zhang." Ji Hong smiled: "The school is responsible for batch size, and AI is responsible for accuracy.

"I think that since AI is involved in students' future training and career planning, should we make an exception and provide some quotas for professional adjustment?" Ji Hong suggested: "In this way, we can achieve maximum effectiveness."

"I have considered this issue before, but we must ensure fairness." Professor Zhang Mingzhen said:

"Higher education seems to be free, but in fact it is very sensitive, and professional issues are the most sensitive. Anything unfair may cause an uproar."

"That's simple, allocate quotas and determine by examination." Ji Hong was not worried at all: "If the AI ​​comprehensively concludes that a person is suitable for this major and direction, then he is at least good at it. If he cannot even pass the assessment, he is good at hammering. Ah, the results of this AI analysis are too rubbish."

"In this case, it's no problem. The school already has a policy for changing majors. It's just a matter of coordinating and allocating more places." Professor Zhang Mingzhen said, "I will coordinate this matter."

In fact, Hezhou University's plan to use the intelligent computing center and large AI models to analyze students' strengths and develop personalized training plans for students has received great attention.

"Batch-style" talent training cannot cultivate business talents, which has always been a pain point in domestic higher education and has even been criticized. Some extreme views even believe that domestic education is obliterating creativity and cultivating identical product machines.

Not to mention Hezhou University is a mid-level 211. In fact, even Tsinghua University and Peking University are like this. It is impossible to provide such personalized training.

Just like what Professor Zhang Mingzhen said, tens of millions of college students, how can they be personalized? Where do so many people come from to do it?
"So, what we are doing now is attracting attention all over the country. People from education authorities, universities and media are stationed here." Professor Zhang Mingzhen said:

"However, there is no need to worry too much. The pilot itself is allowed to make mistakes and there is room for error."

"Well, that is." Ji Hong nodded. He was not worried in the first place. Backed by the capabilities of big data statistical analysis and large models, quasi-thinking makes decisions and analysis, and manual confirmation and evaluation are done in the early stage, so there is almost no failure. possible.

"Then let's confirm it first. I've confirmed it both with the Intelligent Computing Center and with the students." Ji Hong said:
"Cheng Hui is watching over the follow-up student volunteers. If there are any problems at the Intelligent Computing Center, Zhao Donghe will contact me as soon as possible."

"Are you leaving now?" Professor Zhang Mingzhen stopped him and said, "No, there is still work arranged for you here!"

"Ah? What kind of job? Why didn't you tell me before?" Ji Hong said in surprise.

"You didn't come before. Now that you're here, why don't you leave empty-handed? There are a lot of people here. You have to meet them. After all, you are the protagonist of the entire project." Professor Zhang Mingzhen laughed.

"Does anyone have any doubts?" Ji Hong got a taste of it as soon as he heard it, so he asked tentatively.

"It's not a doubt, just a bit cautious." Professor Zhang Mingzhen shook his head as if nodding:

“Since the emergence of whisper systems and personal assistants, people’s attitudes towards AI have been very polarized.

“A group of people from the Political Research Office are currently stationed here to find policy basis and evaluate the overall development situation. Our country advocates vigorously developing the artificial intelligence industry.

“But there are also some people who have doubts about where they will go as AI continues to grow stronger, and they even have some minor worries about whether they can adapt to the times.

"In particular, some media are deliberately creating anxiety and their rhetoric is very sharp. Their attitude towards AI is simply to avoid it. They even regard AI as a stumbling block to economic development and the culprit of economic downturn."

Ji Hong understood that the media, especially some so-called new media and self-media, seemed to be unable to speak unless they did some gimmicks. Is he worried?
He's worried as hell! It's nothing more than creating anxiety to make others worry, in order to gain attention and traffic.

Where is the development of artificial intelligence? Why would someone worry about choking before they are full? Isn’t this ridiculous?
"What do you want me to do?" Ji Hong asked.

"Give a speech? Convince them? Or there will be a symposium in the evening, and you will participate together?" Zhang Mingzhen was also considering whether it was appropriate for Ji Hong to participate, and finally posed the question to Ji Hong himself.

"Forget it about giving a speech. No matter how good your speech is, you can't wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep."

Ji Hong nodded: "Let's have a roundtable forum after the symposium. If anyone has any questions, please ask them on the spot, one-on-one."

People from the political research office, the education department, and the media were here. At this time, Ji Hong wanted to make something big - the intelligent computing center was officially launched, and it was time to make some splash.
