Full transcript

1. 0:00Ladies and gentlemen, good morning.
2. 0:02I I like the several keywords. One is
3. 0:06ecosystem, another one is AI-driven, the
4. 0:09third one is industry and academia
5. 0:12uh cooperation. Actually, I was invited
6. 0:15by
7. 0:16Professor Lee to share my idea about the
8. 0:20how for us to face the challenge of AI.
9. 0:24Actually, such formal several speakers
10. 0:27have mentioned about the challenges. But
11. 0:29here, I would like to you the case. In
12. 0:32last 20 years, we have explored what's
13. 0:35our solution
14. 0:36to face the challenge. So today, I would
15. 0:39share uh briefly about what we have
16. 0:41done.
17. 0:42But I would like to start from this one.
18. 0:45Uh you can see technology is not always
19. 0:48bring the good thing to education.
20. 0:50Sometimes technology
21. 0:53uh
22. 0:54perhaps harms the education. So here you
23. 0:57can see Generation Z has the worst on
24. 1:01cognitive
25. 1:02capabilities than cohort before.
26. 1:05So we have to
27. 1:07answer
28. 1:09the question.
29. 1:10What's the pros and what's the cons for
30. 1:14the current education to educate
31. 1:16uh current technology to education.
32. 1:19So
33. 1:21when we study about the challenges from
34. 1:23AI, we can see there are many trends.
35. 1:27Uh first one is overflow of information
36. 1:29knowledge and the know-it-all
37. 1:32with shallow minded for the students.
38. 1:35And
39. 1:36perhaps in future many students, when
40. 1:39they graduate, they would be
41. 1:42difficult to find a job. So the trend is
42. 1:44that
43. 1:45knowledge teaching, knowledge
44. 1:47education's value is reduced great
45. 1:51greatly.
46. 1:52And the
47. 1:54quality education would be important
48. 1:55because in future, if students stand up
49. 1:58higher
50. 1:59AI would have been the tool or
51. 2:01co-creator. If students stand up lower
52. 2:05the AI the students would be the slave
53. 2:08of the AI.
54. 2:10So how far are we to
55. 2:12help the student develop their
56. 2:13imagination, their creation, their
57. 2:16integration capabilities.
58. 2:18And the
59. 2:20how far are we to help student to face
60. 2:22the future? Human
61. 2:24AI would be a normal cooperation is a
62. 2:27little bit normal. So even the purpose
63. 2:29of education has been changed. For
64. 2:31example,
65. 2:34education is trying to avoid ignorance,
66. 2:37but now
67. 2:38people are difficult to be ignorance.
68. 2:41People almost know everything.
69. 2:43But how far the people to survive in the
70. 2:45future
71. 2:47competitive environment? I think that's
72. 2:49the key challenge for the education.
73. 2:52So we have to ask
74. 2:53answer this question. How far are we to
75. 2:56reshape education to meet the future
76. 2:58develop trend and the demand? So that's
77. 3:01our answer.
78. 3:03So how far are we
79. 3:04to predict what's the future education?
80. 3:07Actually, there are a lot of such kind
81. 3:10of studies, but here I highlight a few
82. 3:12points. The first one is beyond the
83. 3:14campus.
84. 3:15In future it's easy for student to learn
85. 3:17in anywhere anytime.
86. 3:20And another one cross border
87. 3:22country
88. 3:23is not the border. It's
89. 3:26perhaps the student can study in
90. 3:27different parts of the world. Future
91. 3:30education would be more demand oriented,
92. 3:33technology driven, and the human
93. 3:35computer symbiosis.
94. 3:37So the future education would change
95. 3:40from knowledge education to a whole
96. 3:43person education. For the whole person
97. 3:46education there are several unique
98. 3:47features. The first one is personalized.
99. 3:50Everyone
100. 3:51needs to follow his or her own learning
101. 3:54process. It's not a learning in the same
102. 3:57class
103. 3:58with the same teacher. And another one
104. 4:00is interested driven, and the third one,
105. 4:02lifelong learning.
106. 4:03The first one is blended. It's a blended
107. 4:07uh I think
108. 4:08Professor Gong has mentioned about the
109. 4:10silos among the different disciplines.
110. 4:13So, in future, it's necessary for us to
111. 4:16blend the
112. 4:18the different sector into a whole
113. 4:20organic system. Uh last one is AI
114. 4:23support.
115. 4:24So, what's the future learning scenario?
116. 4:27I think it's easy to for all the people
117. 4:30to reach the knowledge a human being
118. 4:32have accumulated with a very high
119. 4:35efficiency because AI can summarize what
120. 4:40the human being have accumulated the
121. 4:42knowledge, and even give you a solution.
122. 4:44The key is that how for you to make a
123. 4:47judgment about the solution. Is the
124. 4:48solution right or wrong or a cheat?
125. 4:52So, that's the key.
126. 4:53So,
127. 4:55we have to change the education. As it's
128. 4:57easy because uh first the few speakers
129. 5:01mentioned about the change. Here, my
130. 5:04question is that how for us to change? I
131. 5:07think the how is more important than
132. 5:10raise the question because we know the
133. 5:12questions.
134. 5:13But the practice is difficult. So, I
135. 5:16think the first key issue for education
136. 5:18is to redefine
137. 5:19redefine talents for future. What's the
138. 5:22future talents?
139. 5:24Knowledge is not important.
140. 5:26But what's the key competencies? So, we
141. 5:29needed to define the competencies
142. 5:31framework for different kinds of people.
143. 5:34Secondly,
144. 5:35it's necessary for us to change from
145. 5:38content education to the whole person
146. 5:39education. And the thirdly, to have a
147. 5:42human human being to living
148. 5:44uh with a computer
149. 5:46with AI.
150. 5:48Perhaps the future education would be a
151. 5:50more socialized or ecologicalized.
152. 5:55Students can learn anywhere.
153. 5:58Students can work with AI anywhere.
154. 6:01So, that's the future education.
155. 6:03So, think about the future education.
156. 6:05Perhaps
157. 6:06it's critical for us to help the student
158. 6:09to grow up quickly. So, in our
159. 6:12university we use the four words to
160. 6:15guide our education. First one, awaken.
161. 6:17Let the student understand their
162. 6:19responsibility. They are independent
163. 6:21people. They needed to develop critical
164. 6:23thinking.
165. 6:24And secondly,
166. 6:25ignite them.
167. 6:28Currently, most of the people are still
168. 6:30learning for credits, learning for
169. 6:32degrees.
170. 6:34The value of degrees disappeared in
171. 6:36future.
172. 6:37How for us to let the student to
173. 6:39understand the better about themselves,
174. 6:41about the future, about their career
175. 6:43plan, other than
176. 6:45motivate the student to learn more
177. 6:47actively. Third, support.
178. 6:50Students understand about their future.
179. 6:52They developed as a independent
180. 6:54learners. And then university would
181. 6:56create the platform to support the
182. 6:58student to follow their personal
183. 7:00plan to learn.
184. 7:02Last one, I think it's very, very
185. 7:04important is to create the atmosphere,
186. 7:07the culture, the campus life. Perhaps
187. 7:09that's a future campus value. Otherwise,
188. 7:13the future campus would have no value.
189. 7:15So, think about that. Future education,
190. 7:19here I list the several key issues. The
191. 7:21first one is content. For the content is
192. 7:23not important at this stage.
193. 7:26From data to information to knowledge to
194. 7:29solutions
195. 7:31generated by AI. Perhaps conspiracy
196. 7:34series. How for the student to make
197. 7:36judgment, to know
198. 7:39the solution. So, inside and wisdom.
199. 7:42I think now it's easy for all the
200. 7:44student, no matter where the student
201. 7:45living in the
202. 7:47in the world, they can get rich to this
203. 7:50very easily.
204. 7:52The key is context.
205. 7:54How for us to create a context, put the
206. 7:57student into the context to learn. Okay.
207. 8:01I have 5 minutes. Okay.
208. 8:05I think it's necessary for me to I think
209. 8:07in the future education it would be more
210. 8:09attention to the context. We needed to
211. 8:11create context, use really problem, use
212. 8:14really context to support student to
213. 8:16learn the knowledge. Learn knowledge is
214. 8:18means
215. 8:20growth is
216. 8:21the purpose.
217. 8:23The student have to pass a very serious
218. 8:25process.
219. 8:26Playing would be the future education.
220. 8:29And then atmosphere, and then quality.
221. 8:32Uh outcome. Outcome would be quality,
222. 8:35mindset, wisdom, capacity, and ASQ, and
223. 8:39ethics.
224. 8:40So, in last the 20 years
225. 8:43we have been trying very hard to reshape
226. 8:46this landscape. Look at this one. 90% of
227. 8:49education are still a disciplined
228. 8:51education.
229. 8:52But when the student graduate
230. 8:5580% of student couldn't compete with AI.
231. 8:58How for us to make this one? Many
232. 9:00university are trying to develop
233. 9:02interdisciplinary education.
234. 9:04But from our education
235. 9:06we made several exploration. The first
236. 9:09one to improve the
237. 9:11currently disciplined education to
238. 9:14develop our
239. 9:161.0 education model is a professional
240. 9:18elites with industry background.
241. 9:22If the student wants to survive in
242. 9:24society, they needed to follow the
243. 9:27the education similar with this one.
244. 9:31They need a disciplined education,
245. 9:32interdisciplinary education, and
246. 9:34entrepreneur education.
247. 9:36So, we call this one as a syntegrative
248. 9:38education. We have created our second
249. 9:40model, syntegrative education.
250. 9:43And think about digitalization,
251. 9:46which has blurred the boundaries. It's
252. 9:49easy for us to integrate resources from
253. 9:51different sector to create ecosystem.
254. 9:55So, in last uh
255. 9:5620 years, we have a create
256. 9:58industry, university, research, and
257. 10:01government, and society uh ecosystem.
258. 10:05So, we develop our third model to create
259. 10:08industry innovation
260. 10:11ecosystem.
261. 10:13All the models needed to stress the
262. 10:15quality education.
263. 10:16Recently,
264. 10:18we raised our 4.0 model
265. 10:21because we are faced
266. 10:23anticipated in future, there would be a
267. 10:25lot of challenges from society, the gap
268. 10:29between rich, poor, and the governance
269. 10:31of society. So, how for us to
270. 10:34use university to develop a future
271. 10:36lifelong learning innovative social
272. 10:39ecosystem. That's our 4.0 model. So, in
273. 10:43last 20 years,
274. 10:44our university is trying to develop a
275. 10:46solution to the digitalization era.
276. 10:50So, to So, we use our limited resource,
277. 10:52we develop a very strong network and the
278. 10:56ecosystem. We have developed three
279. 10:58education models. One,
280. 11:01elite education,
281. 11:02syntegrative education, ecosystem
282. 11:04education. We expand our education
283. 11:08exploration
284. 11:09to primary sector education, and also
285. 11:13vocational education. And then we can
286. 11:15impact the education in China and
287. 11:17beyond.
288. 11:18We develop a learning mall
289. 11:20to support the educational exploration.
290. 11:23We have formed our education philosophy.
291. 11:25For example, uh personalized the
292. 11:27interest driven lifelong learning,
293. 11:29syntegrative education,
294. 11:31internationalization and the
295. 11:32globalization, human machine symbiosis.
296. 11:35Recently, we have strengthened
297. 11:38industry
298. 11:39university research government and
299. 11:43society
300. 11:44to develop a eco mall to support the
301. 11:46combination to create the ecosystem.
302. 11:49That's our
303. 11:51practice.
304. 11:52So, I think
305. 11:54here I have no time to give you a
306. 11:56example. I have 1 minute only show
307. 12:00that's our new campus which is give up
308. 12:02the disciplinary education. We use
309. 12:05integrative education to integrate the
310. 12:07knowledge used to be delivered in
311. 12:09disciplinary.
312. 12:11For example, this we have developed a
313. 12:14seven platforms to
314. 12:17develop a quite new education model.
315. 12:20And we do four experiments what's the
316. 12:22integrative education for future and
317. 12:25what's the future university what's the
318. 12:26future university campus or for us to
319. 12:29run multiple sentences centers
320. 12:33organically.
321. 12:34So, you can see we start from industry
322. 12:36and then we predict what's the future
323. 12:39business model what's the future
324. 12:40technology what's the future
325. 12:42talent
326. 12:44and then university industry work
327. 12:46together to explore how for us to create
328. 12:48a university and then we work together
329. 12:52to train the students. So, that's the
330. 12:56our one example. So, you can see all the
331. 12:59students can work with a really problem.
332. 13:02And the here students can be supported
333. 13:06by university. We have cool venture
334. 13:09platform innovation factories.
335. 13:11Our staff can work with industry to use
336. 13:14real
337. 13:15real problem
338. 13:17to conduct research in the
339. 13:20industry context. So, that's
340. 13:22what we have done here.
341. 13:24I think the time is limited but I would
342. 13:27like to show you one example.
343. 13:32Not example, it's it's a logic.
344. 13:37What's the logic behind the ecosystem
345. 13:39development?
346. 13:40University is non-profit organization.
347. 13:43It's relative for university to
348. 13:45integrate resources from government,
349. 13:47from industry, and then create the
350. 13:50ecosystem by developing two platforms to
351. 13:53create the innovative ecosystem, and
352. 13:55then
353. 13:56to enjoy the eco dividends. So, that's
354. 14:00the logic behind the ecosystem and the
355. 14:03industry academia cooperation. So, we
356. 14:05have developed our system based on this
357. 14:08logic. Thanks for your attention.
358. 14:11Thanks.
