China News Service, March 3. According to the website of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Finance have recently issued "Several Opinions on" Double First-Class "Construction of Universities to Promote the Integration of Disciplines and Accelerate Graduate Education in the Field of Artificial Intelligence." The "Opinions" requires that efforts be made to improve the training level of postgraduates in the field of artificial intelligence, to provide China with a major breakthrough in seizing the forefront of world science and technology, and to achieve a major breakthrough in leading original results.

The "Opinions" mentioned that compared with developed countries, China still has a large gap in the basic theory of artificial intelligence, original algorithms, high-end chips, and ecosystems. The cross-disciplinary integration needs to be deepened, and the orientation of personnel training needs to be strengthened.
The Opinions clarify the guiding ideology: relying on the "double first-class" construction, deepening the connotation of artificial intelligence, constructing a training system that places equal emphasis on basic theoretical talents and "artificial intelligence + X" compound talents, and exploring a deeply integrated discipline construction and new model of talent cultivation We will focus on improving the training level of graduate students in the field of artificial intelligence, providing China with a major breakthrough in seizing the forefront of world science and technology, and achieving a major breakthrough in leading original results.
The "Opinions" requires the development of a high-level talent team. Cultivate high-level innovative talents, increase stability support for outstanding talents, especially young talents, and vigorously cultivate artificial intelligence leaders with development potential. Promote the construction of high-end artificial intelligence teams in an orderly manner, cultivate and attract outstanding talents and high-level innovative teams in the frontiers of artificial intelligence, as well as outstanding young talents with development potential, pay attention to the diversity and complementarity of talent discipline backgrounds, and implement personalized support policies To achieve the systematic integration of talents from different disciplines.
The "Several Opinions" are clear and create a high-level development platform. Improve the discipline layout in the field of artificial intelligence, encourage universities to coordinate various types of funds, support the construction of artificial intelligence-related disciplines, gradually form the advantages of the discipline, and promote the penetration and integration of artificial intelligence into more disciplines. Establish a production-education integration innovation platform, encourage enterprises to participate in co-construction, and give priority support in terms of funds and projects. Close school-enterprise cooperation, encourage enterprises to participate in the formulation of graduate training programs, organize and launch artificial intelligence high-level talent innovation and entrepreneurship and skill competitions, and guide students to carry out innovation and entrepreneurship practices based on actual corporate problems.
"Several Opinions" proposed that innovative high-level talent training mechanisms and models. Establish a special task training mechanism for postgraduates. For doctoral students undertaking major scientific research tasks, colleges and universities should refer to the relevant regulations for the management of scientific research personnel to formulate specific measures to protect and improve the related treatment of doctoral students and protect the legitimate rights and interests of doctoral students. Strengthen the cross-composite training of doctoral students, and encourage companies to open courses, data, cases, tools and training platforms to doctoral students. Strengthening the construction of the curriculum system, facing the needs of the entire industry chain and social development, scientifically designing a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary curriculum system to avoid a simple "combine". Strengthen international exchanges and cooperation.
The Opinions also mentioned the need to increase support and organization. Improve the discipline setting mechanism, improve the discipline evaluation mechanism, expand the scale of graduate training, improve the degree quality guarantee mechanism, strengthen funding input guidance, and strengthen organizational implementation.
Among them, in terms of expanding the scale of graduate education, artificial intelligence is included in the support range of the “National Special Field Urgently Needs High-level Talents Cultivation Special Enrollment Plan”, which comprehensively considers relevant high-level university teachers, national research platforms, major scientific research projects, and research tasks, The integration of production and education, and the effectiveness of collaborative education, will arrange special increments for graduate students, especially doctoral admissions programs. Actively guide colleges and universities through the implementation of conventional incremental tilt and stock adjustment methods to effectively optimize the enrollment structure and accurately expand the scale of high-level talent training in artificial intelligence-related disciplines.
