On the afternoon of July 26, the "Technology Changes Life" artificial intelligence theme reading salon event hosted by the Hongkou District Science and Technology Association was held at the Peace Art Museum. This event aims to stimulate children's interest in science and technology from an early age, allowing citizens to absorb scientific nutrients in the event and share the source of happiness in acquiring knowledge from books. Strengthen the popularization of scientific spirit and scientific knowledge.


Explore the infinite possibilities of mathematics

Experience the cutting-edge charm of artificial intelligence

This reading event invited Professor Liang Jin, a professor at Tongji University and a nominee for the 13th Popular Science Award, and Wang Haitao, an AI education researcher at the Intelligent Education Center of the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, to discuss the multi-dimensional solutions to mathematical problems and how mathematical thinking can shine in the field of AI based on their personal reading and insights, showing the agility and innovation of mathematical thinking and enhancing the public's understanding of the importance of mathematics and AI. This is not only an exercise for the brain, but also the cornerstone for the understanding and development of AI algorithms.


“Since AI has the ability to learn, will it eventually develop autonomous thinking, not listen to human control, and do whatever it wants?” In response to participants’ concerns about whether AI will lose control, Professor Liang Jin explained: “AI’s learning ability is indeed constantly improving, but it still learns and operates based on algorithms and data set by humans. At the current level of technology, AI has no autonomous consciousness and emotions, and its behavior is completely constrained by procedures and rules. However, we also need to remain vigilant in research and development and applications, and formulate reasonable norms and regulatory measures to ensure that the development of AI always conforms to human interests and values.”



Spark of Wisdom Collision Zone

Mathematical thinking workshop and artificial intelligence experience

In the game session of moving the matchsticks, participants not only enjoyed the joy of thinking, but also felt the excitement and sense of accomplishment in the process of solving the problem. In the artificial intelligence experience session - 'AI painting', each experiencer was allowed to operate it by hand, guide AI to create through simple instructions, and experience the logical judgment ability of artificial intelligence firsthand. Through the explanation of teacher Wang Haitao, the participants not only had an intuitive understanding of the working principle of AI, but also had a deep feeling of how technology simulates and expands human creativity, and fully appreciated the unique charm of modern technology.



With the successful conclusion of the "Beauty of Mathematics" artificial intelligence theme reading salon event, we deeply realize that in the vast world of artificial intelligence, the diverse solutions of mathematics play a vital role. Just as AI systems need to examine data from multiple angles, understand the patterns and laws behind them, and achieve accurate decision-making and recognition, our salon event also vividly demonstrated the infinite charm and broad application of mathematical thinking in the field of AI.


The District Science and Technology Association said that this event is not only a feast of knowledge, but also a collision of ideas and a burst of inspiration. We have witnessed the perfect integration of mathematics and artificial intelligence, and felt the important role of mathematical thinking in promoting scientific and technological innovation and leading future development. Let us go hand in hand, under the light of mathematics, and move towards a smarter and more innovative future. We firmly believe that through continuous exploration and practice, we can unlock more unknown mysteries and create a new era of artificial intelligence.
