On behalf of the university, Sun Jieyuan extended a sincere welcome to all the leaders, experts, guests, teachers and students present, and expressed his highest respect and heartfelt gratitude to the governments at all levels, universities, industry societies, enterprises, hospitals and all sectors of society that have always cared about and supported the construction and development of the university. He pointed out that the Fourth Industrial Revolution takes cutting-edge digital technologies such as computer science as its core. Especially with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, any nation and country must embrace the opportunities and challenges brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution and independently and systematically construct the important scientific field of artificial intelligence. He emphasized that the Party Committee and Government of the Autonomous Region attach great importance to the "Artificial Intelligence +" industry in Guangxi and promote cooperation within the artificial intelligence field atboth home and abroad. Taking this as an opportunity, the university will promote artificial intelligence to assist in the reform of education and teaching, give full play to the university's disciplinary characteristics and advantages, focus on the deep integration of AI and education, continuously build a joint innovation platform for universities, enterprises and localities, further deepen the integrated development of government, industry, university and research, and continue to play an application active role in the field of artificial intelligence.
Long Xinghua pointed out that the People's Government of Guilin City actively promotes the construction of "Artificial Intelligence +", and has made systematic arrangements, and carried out a series of effective local industrial intelligent transformation, injecting strong momentum into the urban digital transformation and regional economic development. He said that he hopes that the Artificial Intelligence College will focus on the development needs of Guilin's industries, carry out cutting-edge research in the fields of smart education, intelligent manufacturing, digital culture and tourism, etc. The university and the local area should work together with one heartwhole-heartedly to build a new picture of "Smart Guilin". The People's Government of Guilin City will build a cooperation platform for the university, promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence with fields such as culture and tourism, ecology and healthcare, support the college to participate in the construction of major scientific and technological innovation projects, build a full-chain system of technology research, technical research and achievement transformation, and provide the university with a high-quality innovation and entrepreneurship environment and all-round guarantee at the same time.
On behalf of Hunan University, Li Kenli extended the warmest congratulations on the establishment of the Artificial Intelligence College of Guangxi Normal University! He pointed out that Hunan University and Guangxi Normal University both belong to the universities in the central and western regions and maintain a deep tradition of cooperation. As sister universities, Hunan University is willing to work hand in hand with Guangxi Normal University to further deepen cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence and jointly explore new paths for the interdisciplinary integration of artificial intelligence with liberal arts, business and engineering disciplines. It will carry out in-depth cooperation collaboration in fields such as "AI + culture and tourism" and "AI + education", jointly promote the innovative application of artificial intelligence technology in different fields, and jointly write a new chapter of cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence.
Lv Gang said that when the "educational gene" of the university meets the "practical gene" of the enterprise, it is not only a technical complementarity, but also an ecological resonance of "from the laboratory to the battlefield, from the classroom to the society". He hopes to work hand in hand with the college to use the top platforms such as the national comprehensive environment laboratory and the high-altitude simulation test bench for aero-engines owned by the State-owned Changhong Machinery Factory as the practical training ground for students to hone their skills, and jointly cultivate top talents in artificial intelligence.
At the ceremony site, a signing ceremony for the strategic cooperation agreement on the industry-university-research of artificial intelligence was held. Under the joint witness of Zhou Fei, Sun Jieyuan, Long Xinghua, Li Kenli, Song Shuxiang and He Bing, Yang Jianqing, on behalf of the Management Committee of Guilin Economic and Technological Development Zone, and Li Xianxian, on behalf of Guangxi Normal University, signed the strategic cooperation agreement on the industry-university-research of artificial intelligence.
