願景 Vision

「智慧運算學院」的教育理念是基於下列對未來生活的展望。

CoIC is established to address the following vision on future human lives.

人工智慧為社會基礎設施 AI as an infrastructure

就如同電腦、網路與智慧型手機，人工智慧 (AI) 將不會是一個單獨存在的服務，而會成為人類社會中日常生活的基礎設施。在不久的將來，我們彼此詢問的問題不會是「你有使用AI嗎？」而是「你是用哪個版本或哪一代的AI？」就好比手機現在已經是我們日常、社交、財務與專業工作的基本配備，AI將會在我們每一個小決定或與別人互動時，扮演極關鍵的角色。AI將會無所不在，無所不能，且廣為普羅大眾使用。
Much like computers, the Internet and smartphones, AI will not be used as a standalone service but will become part of the infrastructure for everyday activities. In the near future, we will not ask the question “Do you use AI?” Instead, we will ask “Which AI version or generation do you use?” Just like smartphones now are an integrated part of our personal, social, financial and professional operations, AI will play a key role in our daily decisions and interactions with other people and systems. AI will be in everything, everywhere and for everyone.

全球化的生活方式 Globalization as a lifestyle

世界正在不斷縮小中，不是實際空間的變小，而是在文化、商業和人際連結。我們都是世界公民的一份子，或許散居在地球的不同角落，但我們正與全球人才合作或競爭。多數本地的年輕人將來會任職於面對全球市場的企業中。想要成為成功的專業人士，國際化的思維與工作態度將是最基本的能力。要能無間的與世界各地的職人合作，國際溝通力和理解力將是極為重要的條件。最後，要能設計並欣賞全球頂尖作品，全球化的生活體驗與學習經驗才能孕育最關鍵的核心概念！
The world is becoming smaller, not in physical size but in culture, commerce and connection. All of us are citizens of the global society. We may live in different parts of the world, but we are competing with talents from different corners of this planet. Most of our young people will work for companies that are key players in the global market. To be a successful professional, being able to work and think globally will be the most basic quality. To effectively collaborate with people from all over the world, global communication skills for mutual understanding will be essential. Finally, to design and appreciate the best product of the world, a global living and learning experience may provide the most critical insight!

大學是學習之道的殿堂 College for learning the art of learning

我們許多人上大學是為了取得一個學位，「學習」僅是達成此目標的一個方法。但是，學習絕不會也不該在畢業後就終止。在所有的高科技領域，尤其是資通與AI，創新與技術革命都是常態。其實研發AI領域的科學，就是在學習「學習之道」，不管是教導機器或人類的學習之道。大學是創新創造的殿堂，充滿無限奇妙的想像力和可能。就好比一個走入糖果店的孩子，「學習」對於AI工作者本身就是件無比吸引人的課題，更尤其我們的研究是在學習如何讓機器或人類學習！
Many of us attend college to get a diploma. Learning is the way to reach that goal. However, learning will not and should not stop after graduation. In all technology fields, especially in IT and AI, new innovation and revolution are the norm. Pursuing an advanced degree in AI is to learn the art of learning, both for machines and humans. College is a place to immerse ourselves in amazing innovative ideas, just like kids walking into a candy store. Learning will be so much fun for AI professionals, especially if we are learning to teach machines, and humans, to learn!
