On March 24th, jointly sponsored by Shanghai International School of Chief Technology Officer （East China Normal University） and Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, the Strategic Cooperation Signing and Innovation Forum for Artificial Intelligence：Empowered Science, Technology and Innovation Industry was successfully held in the lecture hall of Building A1, Zizhu International Education Park, within the Minhang Neo Bay technological innovation strategic resource area.
Education, Technology, Talent Synergetic Development
InMarch 2023, Shanghai released the Plan for promoting the construction of the ”Neo Bay” Technological Innovation Strategic Source Area, and Shanghai International School of Chief Technology Officer (East China Normal University) was listed as a special key task. The plan points out that it is necessary to focus on the three leading industries of biomedicine, artificial intelligence, and high-end equipment, cultivate and form multiple high-energy industrial clusters, and rely on the CTO School to strengthen the layout of new track industries such as the digital economy, green and low-carbon, and the meta-universe; At the same time, we will give full play to our advantageous resources and carry out a series of advanced training for innovative talents. In order to serve the national strategic needs and contribute to the construction of Neo Bay, the CTO School and Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Research Institute have reached a strategic cooperation intention, and the two sides will expand the cultivation of talents in the field of artificial intelligence together. At this forum, both sides officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The second phase of the CTO Innovation Leadership Advanced Seminar for the Beauty and Wellness Industry and the second phase of the CTO Innovation Leadership Advanced Seminar for the Biomedical Industry held a project release ceremony; At the same time, senior experts are invited to focus on topics such as artificial intelligence enabling innovation in science and innovation industries, and deliver keynote speeches and in-depth discussions and exchanges. Professor He Jiaxun, Executive Dean of Shanghai International Chief Technical Officer College, delivered a speech at the event, while Professor Wang Zhenghuan, Vice Dean of Shanghai International School of Chief Technology Officer.
In his speech, Professor He Jiaxun first pointed out that Shanghai International School of Chief Technology Officer (CTO School)and Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Research Institute will engage in strategic cooperation, and congratulated the convening of the Artificial Intelligence Empowered Science and Technology Innovation Forum, and warmly welcomed all the guests. He pointed out that under the leadership of Qian Xuhong, president of East China Normal University and academician of the CAE Member, East China Normal University founded the CTO School. The School is committed to realizing the social value of science and technology through the collaborative transformation of people and technology, adheres to the core value of innovation changes the world, It focuses on the interdisciplinary construction, creates a science and technology business discipline system with the coordinated development of undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students, and shapes the thinking or ability of technology and innovation management leaders and trains chief technology officers and future strategic entrepreneurs with a global vision and a sense of social mission. In addition, for corporate executives and industry leaders, the School has also established executive education non-degree programs in the relevant industries such as biomedicine, beauty & wellness, and financial technology. In the past two years of development, many technology-based strategic entrepreneurs have brought a lot of support to the school, especially Dr. Chen Bingliang (Chief Scientist of Xinda Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) and Dr. Liu Yuliang (Chairman of Shanghai Diar Data Technology Co., Ltd.). Through them, we have seen talent cultivation goals for the future. At the same time, he proposed that the cooperation between CTO School and the artificial intelligence research institute is at the same altitude. CTO School takes education as its fundamental mission and task, while the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Research Institute takes empowering the development of the technology industry as its core mission and task. The cooperation between the two sides reflects the core spirit of the 20th National Congress report - the coordinated development of education, technology, and talent in unity. This spirit is known as the source of strategy. Firstly, artificial intelligence, one of the sources of technological development, is the source of technology. How can artificial intelligence become the source of industrial development in various industries? Secondly, education is the source of talent cultivation. The cultivation philosophy has shifted from being driven by factors and efficiency in the past to being driven by innovation in the present. Do our talents truly have creative and critical thinking? The fundamental principle of innovative thinking and creativity is the changing the way of thinking.
In the construction of the Neo Bay, the cooperation between the two sides can better leverage the function of innovative policy sources through education, respond to the needs of national strategies, and truly contribute to the development of future society
Professor Wang Zhenghuan, Vice Dean of CTO School, and Ms. Liu Yanjing, Vice Dean of Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, have officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement between the two parties. Subsequently, Ms. Liu Yanjing expressed congratulations on the signing of the strategic cooperation in her speech. From the mutual visit between both sides, in early March to the formal formation of the strategic cooperation relationship today, it can be described as a perfect fit. She hopes that in the future, the Institute of Artificial Intelligence can provide more empowerment for the cultivation of CTO talents in the field of artificial intelligence.
Round Table Forum of “Artificial Intelligence Empowering Science and Technology Innovation“ started.
Dr. Shen Hao, Deputy Chief Engineer of Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, delivered a speech titled Development and Empowerment of Artificial Intelligence. He pointed out that both the CTO School and the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Research Institute are based in Shanghai and oriented towards the international community. The cooperation between the two institutes will undoubtedly promote the development of the Neo Bay science and technology innovation center in the southern part of Shanghai. Artificial intelligence has become a new engine driving economic development. As a new generation of high-end professional think tanks, Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Research Institute is a research, development and industrial transformation innovation platform, collaborating with top academic forces to build a common source of technology; Thick planting of innovative ecology, supporting the research and development of cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies and industrial transformation in the Yangtze River Delta; Build an artificial intelligence 3+1 platform and a heterogeneous integration ecosystem.
Sun Li, Director of the Digital Economy Research Center of Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, gave a speech titled AI empowering the digital economy, which is mainly divided into two parts: macro background of the digital economy and AI empowering the digital economy. She pointed out that as the world entered a new era of digital economy, data has become the most important strategic resource, the digital economy has become the key force for countries to promote economic recovery and improve governance capacity. Digital transformation has become the largest growth engine, and the overall situation, agility and intelligence are the new features of Digital transformation in the new era; The integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy is gradually deepening, and innovative applications of artificial intelligence are constantly emerging. The integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy has spawned a large number of new technologies, products, and models, and AI empowers the digital economy.
Dr. Liu Yuliang, Chairman of Shanghai Diar Data Technology Co., Ltd., delivered a speech at the second phase of the CTO Innovation Leadership Advanced Training Course for the beauty and wellness industry.
