中小學校長智能創新教育研討會
日期:
2018年9月21日
活動名稱:
中小學校長智能創新教育研討會
地點:
嶺南大學林炳炎樓LBY G02講堂
簡介:
近年人工智能的發展，已滲入到我們日常生活中，例如Facebook對用戶上載照片的人臉辨識、Google的語音辦識、手機中文輸入因應使用者的習慣而提供關連字詞等，都是日常接觸到的例子。從人類的歷史看到，每一輪科技革命，都會帶來新一輪工作革命，例如工業革命讓大批的農民變成了工人、服務員及白領；在今後10到20年，人工智能技術，將會取代一部份傳統行業，帶來新一輪的工作革命。二十一世紀我們的教育，應培養一些怎麼樣的人才？
人工智能是新一輪科技革命和產業變革的核心驅動力，世界各國紛紛搶灘佈局。中國政府於2017年中推出了首份國家級人工智能發展規劃：《新一代人工智能發展規劃》，力爭到2030年實現把我國建設成為世界主要人工智能創新中心；今年初，中國教育部公佈了新的課程標準，將人工智能、物聯網、大數據處理正式劃入高中「信息技術」學科。
嶺南大學與英特爾公司合作，在嶺大建立全港首個「英特爾智能創新中心」，運用英特爾公司的硬件及技術，向中小學提供人工智能的體驗活動及培訓。是次研討會，將會介紹英特爾公司在人工智能方面的研究及應用，以及一些面向中小學生的人工智能課程及活動。
