"Tsinghua University establishes new School of Artificial Intelligence, aiming for self-reliance and excellence at a high level"
In the wave of technological development, Tsinghua University officially announced today that it will establish a new Institute of Artificial Intelligence. The purpose of this move is to focus on the "core theoretical foundation and architecture of artificial intelligence" and the "artificial intelligence + X" two core directions. Through high positioning and new mechanisms, it will consolidate the top talent cultivation and innovation foundation of China's independent artificial intelligence, injecting strong impetus into the country's technological self-reliance and self-strengthening.
It is understood that the first dean of the Tsinghua University Institute of Artificial Intelligence will be the renowned Turing Award winner and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yao Qizhi. Academician Yao's joining undoubtedly injects strong academic leadership and international influence into this emerging institute.
As a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence in China, Tsinghua University has accumulated profound knowledge in talent cultivation and scientific research over the years. The institute not only has the earliest history of teaching and research in artificial intelligence in China, but also many of its alumni have become the backbone of China's artificial intelligence industry, making significant contributions to the country's technological progress.
The newly established Institute of Artificial Intelligence will closely focus on the national strategic layout, devote itself to innovative talent cultivation models, and attract top artificial intelligence talents from around the world. The institute will strive to promote breakthroughs in basic research and key core technologies, build cooperation platforms in vertical fields, and deepen collaborative innovation in industry, academia, research, and application. It aims to lead the development of artificial intelligence in China and become a world-class talent and innovation hub.
This initiative by Tsinghua University will undoubtedly further promote the rapid development of China's artificial intelligence field and contribute Chinese wisdom and strength to global artificial intelligence research and applications. We look forward to the Institute of Artificial Intelligence at Tsinghua University cultivating more outstanding talents and making new and greater contributions to China's technological innovation and social progress in the future.
