On the afternoon of June 30, the establishment ceremony of the Basic Model Research Center (hereinafter referred to as the "Research Center") of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Tsinghua University was held in the conference room of the Institute of C.
Wang Xiqin, President of Tsinghua University, Zhang Lu, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Honorary Dean of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Tsinghua University, Wu Jianping, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Dean of the Institute of Network Research of Tsinghua University and Director of Zhongguancun Laboratory, Zhang Yaoxue, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Dean of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Tsinghua University, Jin Li, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Qinghai Province, and Shi Yuanchun, President of Qinghai University, attended the ceremony.
The ceremony was presided over by Jia Jia, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Department of Computer Science of Tsinghua University. Professor Tang Jie of the Department of Computer Science was appointed as the director of the research center, Huang Minlie and Liu Zhiyuan of the Department of Computer Science were appointed as the deputy directors of the research center, and Sun Maosong, executive deputy director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Tsinghua University, was appointed as the chief scientist of the research center.
Wang Xiqin spoke
Wang Xiqin expressed his gratitude to all the faculty and staff who participated in the planning, design, organization and preparation of the research center. He pointed out that the basic model is crucial to the development of general artificial intelligence, and the establishment of a research center for the world's scientific and technological frontiers aims to promote organized scientific research and discipline development in related fields. It is hoped that the research center can strengthen overall planning and actively explore innovative governance models. It is necessary to properly handle the relationship between individual and collective, inheritance and innovation, application and theoretical research, coordinate development and security, and promote the integration of science and humanities. It is necessary to give full play to the party's centralized and unified leadership role, promote multi-party cooperation between government, schools and enterprises, and strengthen organized scientific research. It is necessary to make good use of Tsinghua's comprehensive disciplinary advantages, gather the resources of faculties, departments and departments, and form a joint force in the same direction to jointly promote the innovation and application of artificial intelligence basic models, and make due contributions to the independent training of key core technologies and top-notch innovative talents in the mainland.
Wu Jianping spoke
In his speech, Wu Jianping reviewed the course of Tsinghua artificial intelligence scholars represented by Academician Zhang Cymbal who have been struggling for decades and leading the artificial intelligence discipline of Tsinghua University to the forefront of the world. He hoped that the research center would not only unite the scientific research strength of the whole university, gather resources from all walks of life, dock with the major needs of the country, and make major artificial intelligence technologies and applications with international influence and leadership, but also have the courage to take responsibility, be anxious about the country's urgent needs and worries about the country's worries, and make important contributions to improving the level of mainland network and artificial intelligence security governance and safeguarding the mainland's national security and political security.
Zhang Yaoxue spoke
Zhang Yaoxue pointed out that the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Tsinghua University has a good accumulation of preliminary work in the research and application of artificial intelligence basic models, and has built a number of influential basic models and made a good start in industrialization. The establishment of the research center will focus on the research and application of artificial intelligence basic models, and contribute to the construction of artificial intelligence-related disciplines, the improvement of scientific research level and the transformation of scientific research achievements in schools.
At the meeting, Yin Xia, dean of the Department of Computer Science of Tsinghua University, said in her speech that the department will give full play to the advantages of the discipline to provide strong support for promoting the innovative research and application of artificial intelligence basic models. Su Jun, director of the Think Tank Center of Tsinghua University, said that the role of the think tank information analysis platform will be fully given full play to actively promote the large-span intersection and integration of artificial intelligence and other disciplines. The establishment of the research center has also received strong support from local governments and related enterprises. Jin Li, deputy director of the Qinghai Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out in his speech that Qinghai Province will actively promote policy innovation, institutional innovation and talent training in the field of artificial intelligence, promote the integration of "government, industry, academia, research and application", and make greater contributions to national scientific and technological innovation and technological development. Zhang Peng, CEO of Zhipu Huazhang, said that the original and innovative achievements made by Tsinghua University in the field of artificial intelligence basic model research are remarkable, and Zhipu is willing to work with Tsinghua University to create a new highland of influential foundation and source, and actively promote the integration of large-scale technology and industry, schools and enterprises.
