Whether in the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference or in the classroom of West Lake University, Shi Yigong's clothes always have the school badge of West Lake University. As a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of West Lake University, this scientist has also combined scientific research with social issues many times and submitted a number of research reports and suggestions.

On March 6, after the Science and Technology Association's sector group discussion meeting, Shi Yigong was interviewed by a reporter from "Chinese Entrepreneurs" and shared his thoughts on hot topics such as AI and talent training that everyone is currently concerned about.

The following is a compilation of Shi Yigong's interview content (with a cut):

Talk about how young students cope with the AI ​​era: learn basic knowledge well and master critical thinking

Shi Yigong: In the AI ​​era, many young students will feel confused, and even college students will feel that their future is uncertain, because some jobs will be replaced by AI, and some companies will be subverted by AI.

But, please don't forget that AI is created by humans. This group of people finally created AI because they have learned the basic knowledge and mastered basic skills, and can use critical thinking to understand our world.

Every young student must be very determined when facing AI, must master the most basic knowledge and the most fundamental skills, learn scientific methodology, and master critical thinking. After doing this, you will have the determination to see future changes.

So, instead of worrying about or even anxious about the uncertainty brought by AI and its impact on future careers, it is better to learn the basic knowledge honestly now. The most important thing is to master critical thinking during the learning process and have the ability to think.

Talk about talent training: AI courses may become part of general education

Shi Yigong: Talent training requires a good training environment. Technology is developing very fast today. Everyone will say that the current talent training model is completely different from before? I don't think so.

I think the most fundamental training model is that each of us must better learn and master scientific methodology in an inclusive, diverse and free academic environment. The role of the teacher is still indispensable here. Of course, one thing is that we should also pay attention to the role of AI. Therefore, at the university stage, you should learn the course of AI and take it as part of general education. AI should be allowed to enter schools, hospitals, laboratories, scientific research venues, and all aspects of society.

Talking about AI Pharmaceuticals: There may be blowout results in the near future

Shi Yigong: Looking forward to the future AI clinical practice, it will play a key role in hospital clinical diagnosis and treatment. There is no doubt that it can watch some films without emotion and objectively and make accurate judgments.

In the field of pharmaceuticals, AI is revolutionizing the current pharmaceutical process through the prediction of protein structure, drug targets, and drug small molecules to predict target binding.

Use AI to help pharmaceuticals and even the main Guide pharmaceuticals to change human health will definitely appear. As for how fast the change will be, it depends on how hard our scientists work, how fast and popular AI develops. This must be the result of everyone working together.

With the gradual development of clinical research, in the near future, there may be a surge in drug development results led by AI, which can treat some rare diseases and cancers, and human lifespan will be extended.
