ReportThe Era of Artificial
Intelligence and Education - Paving the Path for AGIBy Mr Anson FUNG
To
foster a culture of continuous learning and future-proofing for our young
members, the HKIE YMC has invited Mr Nixon CHAU from SenseTime to give a
presentation at the Annual Seminar, dated 11 June 2024, on the overview of the
current and future potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education.
The
seminar outlines the evolution of AI technology from the 1980s to 2022,
including machine learning, online entertainment, smart healthcare, autonomous
driving, and language models. The seminar emphasizes the unprecedented
industrial revolution with generative AI targeting diverse user groups across
multiple dimensions, forming distinct AI application markets.
To
support the development of generative AI, AI computing power plays an important
role in providing sufficient support for research and development. SenseCore,
SenseTime's proprietary AI infrastructure, has been developed to provide
increased efficiency and enhance developer efficiency.
AI
governance principles are outlined, including algorithmic accountability, data
governance, and AI risk management. These principles aim to increase
transparency and oversight over the algorithms powering AI systems and
establish clear protocols for data collection, storage, and usage within AI
ecosystems.
Finally,
the seminar suggests a transformation strategy for embracing a digital-first
mindset, investing in data infrastructure and analytics, automating and
optimising core processes, enhancing customer experience, and exploring new
business models. To create an AI-empowered future through innovation, the
seminar suggests cultivating top AI talent, making AI available for
disadvantaged groups, developing AI-empowered brain-computer interface
technology, and providing voluntary public services for employees.
The
seminar highlights the potential of AI technology to transform education by
creating a more efficient and effective learning environment. The seminar
raised valuable discussions among our young members.
