Artificial intelligence has been applied to every corner of our lives. The recommendation algorithm of "Today's Headlines" APP belongs to the category of artificial intelligence. Google ads are targeted by artificial intelligence algorithms, and even the face recognition system and mobile phone automatic retouching software used by children to punch in and out of work every day have applied artificial intelligence technology. The news that Google's artificial intelligence Go robot "Alpha Dog" beat the world's top Go players Li Shishi and Ke Jie in succession is still fresh in my memory.
The concept of artificial intelligence was first put forward in the summer of 1956. At that time, a group of far-sighted young scientists led by McCarthy, Minsky, Rochester and Shennong got together to study and discuss a series of related problems of simulating intelligence with machines, and put forward the term "artificial intelligence" for the first time, which marked the formal birth of this new discipline. But it is well known to the public and only started in recent years.
Therefore, at present, no university has set up the major of "artificial intelligence" at the undergraduate stage, and some universities have set up corresponding research directions at the postgraduate stage. However, we can still choose some majors closely related to artificial intelligence according to the relevance of disciplines, provide reference for candidates and parents interested in artificial intelligence, and prepare for future research and study of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence belongs to the cross-discipline of natural science and social science, and it has strong correlation with computer science, informatics, mathematics, neurophysiology, cognitive science, psychology and many other disciplines. At present, artificial intelligence has been widely valued in the computer field, and has been applied in robotics, economic and political decision-making, control systems, simulation systems and so on.
Therefore, from these interpretations, we can choose majors related to computer and mathematics at the undergraduate level, such as computer science and technology, software engineering, communication engineering, applied mathematics, statistical mathematics and other majors, as well as intelligence science and technology, data science and big data technology newly opened in colleges and universities in recent years. In addition, you can also consider automation and machinery majors, and some universities extend to artificial intelligence on the basis of such majors.

Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Nanjing University, Zhejiang University, University of Science and Technology of China, Harbin Institute of Technology, Xi Jiaotong University, etc. 2065438+On May 28, 2007, the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences issued a document to establish the Institute of Artificial Intelligence Technology, becoming the first new college in the field of artificial intelligence technology in China. These universities can be the first choice, but the research direction of artificial intelligence in each school is different and should be distinguished.
At present, there are more than 30 colleges and universities in intelligence science and technology, and you can also choose from them, such as Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Central South University, Nankai University, Xiamen University, Hunan University, Capital Normal University, xidian university, Wuhan University of Technology, University of Science and Technology Beijing and so on. Intelligence science and technology major was proposed by the Department of Intelligent Science of Peking University in 2003. The Department of Intelligent Science is mainly engaged in the research and teaching of interdisciplinary subjects such as machine perception, intelligent robots, intelligent information processing and machine learning.
Career prospects
According to the "20 17 Spring Internet Talent Trend Report" directly hired by BOSS, jobs related to big data and artificial intelligence have penetrated into the whole industry, and the supply of talents is seriously insufficient. Among them, the big gap is the search algorithm, and the supply can only reach 44% of the demand, and there is still a gap of 56%. The gap ratio of recommended algorithms is 50%, the gap ratio of algorithm researchers is 43.9%, the gap ratio of image algorithms is 43%, and the gap of deep learning ranks tenth with 33.8%.
At the same time, in July this year, the State Council released the "Development Plan for the New Generation of Artificial Intelligence", which clearly put forward the "three-step" development strategy for the new generation of artificial intelligence in China. In 2020, the artificial intelligence industry will become a new important economic growth point, and the application of artificial intelligence technology will become a new way to improve people's livelihood; In 2025, artificial intelligence will become the main driving force of China's industrial upgrading and economic transformation; In 2030, the theory, technology and application of artificial intelligence reached the world's leading level and became the world's major artificial intelligence innovation center.
Artificial intelligence has very high requirements for the basics of mathematics, so it is not recommended for students with unsatisfactory math scores to choose artificial intelligence.
In addition, artificial intelligence belongs to the high-tech field, which has high requirements for practitioners and needs further study after graduation. LinkedIn China's report shows that the general feature of artificial intelligence talents is high education. In China, 62.2% of artificial intelligence practitioners have a master's degree or above, and 12.6% have a doctor's degree or above. At present, the talents in the field of artificial intelligence in China are concentrated in the post-80 s group, accounting for more than 56%; Only 38.7% employees have more than 10 years of working experience. The three-year experience in the field of artificial intelligence is only entry-level.
