A young reporter from the China Youth Daily wearing a red scarf and a red vest asked Liu Qingfeng: "In addition to learning knowledge, how can our generation of teenagers who grow up in the AI era prepare for the future, and how can they combine their own growth with their contribution to the country?"
Liu Qingfeng replied: "For children, they must not only learn to use artificial intelligence, but also be able to control artificial intelligence and design better artificial intelligence in the future."
He said that in today's learning process, basic knowledge such as mathematics and physics are more important than ever. "Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid of traveling around the world" is still the most important topic of this era. The essence of artificial intelligence is the advancement of mathematical algorithms.
In addition, he also said: "In this era, everyone's imagination, creativity and inspiration for the future are more important than ever. Therefore, in the learning process, the most important thing for our children is to know what they like best and find their inner love. In order to contribute to the motherland and society in the future, it is more natural and more sustainable to combine it with their own interests."
"Learning basic knowledge well is a prerequisite, but at the same time, you must not stop studying. You must find your own passion and control artificial intelligence." Liu Qingfeng said.
