time: 2018-05-12

With the rapid development of the mobile Internet, the concept of professional disciplines is being reconstructed. The boundaries between the original disciplines and disciplines have been continuously broken, and they have been continuously divided and dispelled. Interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary studies have begun to rise in large numbers and gradually established their legal status in practice. Universities as an important front for knowledge innovation, interdisciplinary development studies have undoubtedly become the growth point of emerging disciplines, the development of dominant disciplines, and breakthroughs in major innovations.


At the same time, with the rapid development of Internet technology and artificial intelligence, all social forms have been unknowingly reshaped. AlphaGo's chess sweep has greatly stimulated the public's awareness of smart technology, promoted the development of artificial intelligence, and inspired humans to create machine brains and machine brains to help people solve their urgent problems. It can be said that artificial intelligence technology will surely become the incubator and booster for new industries, new formats, and new models in the future. With the introduction of the Brain Project, Artificial Intelligence 2.0, Intelligent Manufacturing and Robotics and other technological innovation 2030 strategies, how colleges and universities will undertake this major opportunity of the national strategy will combine the integration of artificial intelligence with other areas of research. A high-quality, interdisciplinary, integrated development platform that allows discipline results to better serve the needs of society and the country will become a major issue worth exploring.
