Online education will face dramatic changes; Hujiang appeared at GMIC to start a new wave of AI teaching

When it comes to artificial intelligence, most people probably still think of the "man-machine Go battle". Even Google itself probably did not expect that it could attract so much traffic just by playing Go.

However, the recent impact of artificial intelligence is indeed more than just popularizing knowledge of Go.

This matter has to start with the country’s release of the “13th Five-Year Plan” for education. Since the country has further advocated attracting more social resources to invest in the education industry through institutional exploration, the realization of a higher level of educational equity through the online education model has gradually been recognized by society.

Not only that, vocational education, capacity training for basic education, and the informatization development of education have also been taken care of and have become the government's key focus during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. For a time, AI education based on artificial intelligence has once again been pushed to the forefront.

But can artificial intelligence really replace teachers and become the new "childhood shadow"?

As a leading Internet learning platform in China, Hujiang has naturally noticed the opportunities of artificial intelligence in Internet education. Hujiang founder Arnold also said at the IT Leadership Summit that learning foreign languages ​​or other specific content is no longer important, what is important is to understand and apply. The progress of artificial intelligence has made people understand that it is not whoever remembers more can do better, and machines are much better than humans in this regard.

Therefore, it is believed that the Chinese education industry may usher in major changes due to Hujiang's persistence, and artificial intelligence will become the "savior" of Chinese education. With the accumulation of the number of courses before, the next artificial intelligence will show a more efficient working ability than traditional teachers, not only improving the accuracy, but also freeing up manpower, which is probably the reason why Hujiang has been committed to the research of artificial intelligence.

As the saying goes, there is no coincidence in the world. Here is a "big boss" who holds the same view as Hujiang.

The GMIC 2017 Beijing Conference is about to be held. The organizer, Great Wall Club, has deliberately chosen artificial intelligence as the theme of the conference. This coincides with the new way of education advocated by Hujiang in recent years. Both regard artificial intelligence as a product that can change the world. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Hujiang chose to host the ET2017 Intelligent Learning Summit Forum as a sub-venue of GMIC 2017 on April 27.

However, it can be seen from Hujiang’s promotional poster that the theme of the ET2017 Intelligent Learning Summit is “AI is on the rise and will open up the future”. Hujiang deliberately replaced the “AI” in “on the rise” with “AI”, perhaps implying that Hujiang’s exhibition will focus on the changes that artificial intelligence will bring to education.

Not only that, Hujiang specially sent an envelope this time, with ET2017 and the words "AI is emerging and will open up the future" printed on the front of the envelope. When it was opened, it turned out to be an invitation letter from Hujiang for this summit forum.

The invitation letter is designed to be quite technological, with the main body composed of pure black and gradient colors. At the same time, the following words are printed on the right side of the invitation letter: AI, EDUCATE THE FUTURE, which means that the future of education will be artificial intelligence. Does Hujiang's use of this sentence mean that this forum will launch a new education model focusing on artificial intelligence?

It is reported that Hujiang will invite many industry leaders as guests of this conference, such as Tencent Cloud, which provides overall solutions for online education, video, game, finance, government and other industry customers through cloud computing services, iFlytek, which specializes in research on intelligent voice and language technology, Sony, which attempts to layout the next generation of Internet education through educational robots, and Knewton, which focuses on adaptive learning technology and strives for personalized education.

This conference will share their views and attitudes on online education in depth, and further explore the development trend of intelligent education and the future of personalized teaching based on the rapid development of artificial intelligence.

At the same time, with the development and growth of Hujiang in recent years, it would be self-deprecating to say that it has no foresight in the Internet education industry. This time, the cooperation with many industry "bigwigs" is expected to bring together the strengths of hundreds of AI teaching through the integration of each other's technologies. But the actual purpose is to eliminate the dependence of artificial intelligence on people and truly realize "one thousand faces for one thousand people" in the Internet education industry.

Therefore, through the ET2017 Intelligent Learning Summit Forum held this time, it is bold to speculate that Hujiang will use artificial intelligence on a large scale for Internet teaching.

However, how can artificial intelligence really help the balanced development of education and ensure that users can achieve different learning efficiency and learning results? Perhaps only by truly integrating artificial intelligence into the educational environment can the technical advantages brought by big data be brought into play. However, all the above are just speculations at present, and we still need to wait for Hujiang to announce the answer at the ET2017 Intelligent Learning Summit Forum on April 27.
