On October 22, during a recent event in Beijing, the rapid development and broad application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology captured the public’s attention, particularly its “hidden skills.”
The China Science and Technology Museum announced that it has collaborated with iFlytek to host a themed event titled “Co-creating the Future with Humans and Machines: A New Era of AI,” aimed at keeping pace with the technological wave propelled by AI. This event features a range of engaging and educational activities designed to unveil these hidden talents of AI, broaden participants’ innovative perspectives, and enhance their understanding of AI science.
At the “AI Science and Fun Salon” segment, AI experts guided attendees through the origins and evolution of AI technology, exploring its underlying principles and forecasting future trends.
Meanwhile, the “AI Wisdom Exploration Class” focused on robots in our daily lives, helping attendees grasp fundamental concepts of AI and its applications. Interactive programs like the “Turing Thought-Provoking Classroom,” “Customized Virtual Robots,” and “Human-Machine Showdown” allowed participants to engage in cross-temporal dialogues with virtual scientists, creating unique virtual robots and artistic works, and experiencing the extraordinary allure of AI technology firsthand.
During the “AI Treasure Hunt” segment, participants followed a study guide to explore a temporary exhibition titled “Co-creating the Future with Humans and Machines.” They sought out their “metaverse avatars” and utilized “voice control” technology to combine Tetris blocks, engaging intimately with various AI exhibits and enjoying the convenience and excitement brought about by technological advancements. Actively participating attendees were rewarded with a “Future AI Star” certificate.
The China Science and Technology Museum emphasized that this themed educational event focusing on AI aims to create a platform for the public to showcase and learn about artificial intelligence. The initiative garnered substantial interest from families, with 53 parent-child groups participating on-site.
