According to Wushur Slam, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and professor of Xinjiang University, the impact of the new wave of artificial intelligence on technological and social development is "unquestionable."
"New technologies will bring more challenges and more opportunities to students studying this major." Academician Wu Shouer told reporters from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily in the 2023 high recruitment season.
He mentioned that in today’s world, information technology is changing with each passing day. Digitization, networking, and intelligence are the prominent features of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and the core of a new generation of information technology. While promoting economic and social development, promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities, and meeting people’s growing needs for a better life, new disciplines such as cyberspace security and emerging interdisciplinary disciplines such as artificial intelligence in the big data era have also been spawned.
Digital media technology, intelligent science and technology, new media technology, virtual reality technology, blockchain engineering, cryptography science and technology, etc., all belong to the new fields that the new generation of information technology drives social and economic development. With the integration and development of 5G, big data, cloud computing, AI and other technologies, more terminals have become Internet portals, and more information services and smart services have sprung up.
"We often talk about the Internet of Things, the metaverse, cultural communication, the daily information exchange of human beings, students' daily use of mobile terminals to study and work, shopping and payment, instant messaging, voice communication, and making and sharing short videos, all of which are closely related to computer majors." Wu Shouer said.
In this regard, Liu Jiren, Chairman of Neusoft Group, also told reporters that digital technology is constructing a digital society that transcends reality, and it is possible to see the space for future development in computer-related fields.
Liu Jiren believes that practitioners should have strong learning ability and curiosity, as well as the ability to collaborate and innovate.
"We want to see the arrival of a digital society, the arrival of a world where everything is connected and everything is intelligent." He said, "Over the past 20 years, the entire computer industry has been iterating faster and faster. New technologies will bring more challenges and more opportunities to students studying this major."
Wu Shouer told reporters that computer majors are engineering disciplines that combine computer hardware and software, are system-oriented, and are biased toward applications. After graduation, students can engage in scientific research, education, development and application in computer-related fields.
The main characteristics of computer majors are strong theory, strong practicality, and rapid development. They need to have a solid theoretical and professional foundation in mathematics, logic, data structure, algorithm, and architecture.
Wu Shouer suggested that choosing a major should take into account factors such as students' own interests, natural abilities, family, and their own future development plans, and should not be followed blindly. After making a choice, you must not be afraid of suffering and continue to work hard.
Wu Shouer made an outlook on the industry. He believes that the development of quantum computers will definitely impact the application of electronic computers and the development of disciplines. The era of electronic computers will soon develop into the era of quantum computers.
"If you are a person who dares to innovate and innovate, I suggest you choose computers; if you want to integrate into the tide of national development and social progress, I suggest you learn computers." He said.
