　　人工智能專業(yè)現(xiàn)已面世

　　Universities in China will welcome the first group of undergraduate students majoring in artificial intelligence (AI) in September.

　　According to a list issued by the Ministry of Education, 35 universities received approval to establish the four-year undergraduate AI-related majors. They include many prestigious universities, such as Beijing Jiaotong University, Beihang University, Nanjing University and Xi'an Jiaotong University.

　　China's booming AI industry has resulted in a growing demand for talent.

　　It is common for students in AI-related fields to have already committed to companies before they even graduate.

　　Master's graduates majoring in AI can easily find jobs with salaries over 300,000 yuan per year, and salaries for doctoral graduates are even higher.

　　Many Chinese universities have set their sights on improving AI education and nurturing more AI talent and have established new AI departments and research institutes.

　　Universities in China will welcome the first group of undergraduate students majoring inartificial intelligence (AI) in September.

　　welcome v.=to be pleased that sb has come or has joined an organization, activity, etc. 歡迎(新來的人);迎(新)eg.They welcomed the new volunteers with open arms .他們熱烈歡迎這些新的志愿者。

　　undergraduate n.本科生 postgraduate n.研究生 master n.碩士 doctor n.博士

　　major v.從事，主修，major in +專業(yè) // n.專業(yè)課，少校 eg.He's a major in the US army.他是美國陸軍少校。// a.=very large or important 主要的;重要的;大的 eg.We have encountered major problems.我們遇上了大問題。

　　今年9月，我國高校將迎來首批人工智能(AI)專業(yè)本科生。

　　According to a list issued by the Ministry of Education, 35 universities received approval to establish the four-year undergraduate AI-related majors. They include many prestigious universities, such as Beijing Jiaotong University, Beihang University, Nanjing University and Xi'an Jiaotong University.

　　issue n.= ①an important topic that people are discussing or arguing about 重要議題;爭論的問題 eg.This is a big issue.這是一個重大問題。②報刊，期號 eg.The article appeared in issue 25.該文發(fā)表在第25期。// v.=to make sth known formally 宣布;公布 eg.They issued a joint statement denying the charges.他們發(fā)表聯(lián)合聲明否認(rèn)指控。

　　prestigious a.=respected and admired as very important or of very high quality 有威望的;聲譽(yù)高的 eg.a prestigious university名牌大學(xué)

　　根據(jù)教育部日前公布的名單，共35所高校獲批開設(shè)四年制人工智能本科專業(yè)，其中包括北京交通大學(xué)、北京航空航天大學(xué)、南京大學(xué)和西安交通大學(xué)等多所知名學(xué)府。

　　China's booming AI industry has resulted in a growing demand for talent.

　　boom v.激增，繁榮eg.Business is booming!生意興隆!// n.激增，繁榮eg.a boom in car sales汽車銷售額的劇增

　　我國日益蓬勃的人工智能產(chǎn)業(yè)推高了市場對人才的需求。

　　It is common for students in AI-related fields to have already committed to companies before they even graduate.

　　commit v.= ①to be completely loyal to one person, organization, etc. or give all your time and effort to your work, an activity, etc. 忠于(某個人、機(jī)構(gòu)等);全心全意投入(工作、活動等)eg. commit oneself to 致力于②~ suicide 自殺 ③ ~ a crime犯罪

　　人工智能相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的學(xué)生甚至還沒畢業(yè)就有企業(yè)與之簽約，這種情況非常普遍。

　　人工智能專業(yè)前景如何?

　　極其好。如果說計算機(jī)專業(yè)是上個時代的老大，那么人工智能專業(yè)就是下個時代的龍頭。因為：

　　1. 大數(shù)據(jù)、芯片計算能力、5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)的發(fā)展使得AI人工智能得以高速發(fā)展。目前在自動駕駛、智能家居、工業(yè)制造等很多領(lǐng)域，人工智能都在快速突破。例如預(yù)計5-10年后，美國有50%的車輛將是無人駕駛。

　　2. 真正的人工智能公司發(fā)展?jié)摿艽螅? 人才更容易脫穎而出。如人工智能芯片公司“深鑒科技”，由四名清華高手僅僅創(chuàng)立2年后被收購，收購價3-4億美元。當(dāng)然，該專業(yè)的工資也很高，真正的人工智能崗位年薪百萬比較容易。

　　人工智能專業(yè)的要求高么?

　　很高。該專業(yè)的前景有多好，對應(yīng)的專業(yè)要求就有多高。 人工智能是計算機(jī)+數(shù)學(xué)建模的結(jié)合，該專業(yè)要求有極其好的數(shù)學(xué)邏輯能力，能把該專業(yè)真正學(xué)明白的估計沒多少人。 例如給你1萬張手機(jī)自拍人臉照片，讓你通過編程，建立一個數(shù)學(xué)模型識別出照片中哪些人臉是高興的表情。你需要把照片轉(zhuǎn)化為計算機(jī)可處理數(shù)據(jù)，例如不同格式不同尺寸的圖片如何統(tǒng)一處理;你需要搭建模型來判斷數(shù)據(jù)有什么規(guī)律是表示高興，例如計算嘴角的弧度、眉頭的皺紋等等，同時要考慮不同年齡不同人種的臉部特點;模型要經(jīng)過大量訓(xùn)練來優(yōu)化，這會需要大量的計算機(jī)處理能力(例如幾十臺服務(wù)器)，需要設(shè)計優(yōu)秀的程序來保證訓(xùn)練過程盡量減少計算機(jī)的消耗以及減少計算時間(如并行計算)。

　　因此，基本是絕對的數(shù)學(xué)學(xué)霸可以真正搞定該專業(yè)。
