The Fight for Talent

Abstract

In 2017, human beings were once again profoundly shocked by artificial intelligence. The “Master,” the mysterious flag bearer under Google’s AlphaGo, swept away humans with a record of 60 wins, 0 losses, and 1 tie. The comprehensive victory of “Master” indicates that the era of artificial intelligence is approaching rapidly. Success can be achieved only by capable people. Talent has always been the primary resource for economic and social development. Faced with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, competition for talent has become the most important topic in the field of artificial intelligence. The development of artificial intelligence is inseparable from the unearthing and cultivation of talents. Talents determine R&D capabilities. The world needs excellent artificial intelligence talents to further release the enormous potential of computing and machine learning technologies. A computer program capable of defeating world champions many times at Go is undoubtedly a coup for the fast-growing field of artificial intelligence. Under this surging surface, a more desperate gamble is quietly brewing—the fight for talent in the field of artificial intelligence. In the future, as countries establish more sophisticated artificial intelligence and other scientific personnel training systems at the domestic and international levels, fierce fights are expected to cool down, and artificial intelligence can achieve healthier, more creative, and sustainable development.
