張忠謀在清華大學的演講提到了「台灣理工科與美國相差不大,但商學院卻比美國差很多」。就某方面來說,台灣的商學院其實不算太差,但是跟台灣的理工學院在國際間的等級相比,商學院真的很差。或許我們應該要先問的是,商學院是什麼?...

施慧中 / 編譯,中國無人計程車便宜效率高 衝擊傳統駕駛就業市場,公視,2024-08-23
人工智慧時代,無人計程車成為時代趨勢。中國百度旗下的「蘿蔔快跑」是先驅者,在武漢有500多輛規模,超便宜價格戰,讓傳統計程車駕駛面臨飯碗不保的壓力。專家指出AI全面取代人類駕駛,還有至少5到10年,但科技與就業之間的衝突仍須及早應對。

The Future of Decentralization, AI, and Computing Summit, hosted by Berkeley RDI, aims to bring together researchers, innovators, thought leaders, and builders to showcase and discuss the future of decentralization, AI, and computing.
In particular, the event will include topics on how AI/ML and decentralization technology can help each other, and how to build a full decentralized, open source stack for AI/ML, including 1) decentralized ML infra such as decentralized training, inference, provenance, integrity guarantees, 2) open source data, model, and tooling, 3) personalized AI with privacy and trustworthiness; 4) democratic and decentralized process for AI governance and alignment. We hope this summit will provide an opportunity for researchers from diverse backgrounds including AI/ML, Security & Privacy, game theory, economics, decentralization technology, to get together and cross pollinate to help seed the initial discussions in this important space and make advancement in responsible AI with decentralization.

文中指出,從 1997 年擊敗西洋棋人類冠軍的「深藍」,到 2023 年爆火的 ChatGPT,再過 15 年,人工智慧已經發展到可以「合成知識」(synthesize knowledge) 的地步,可以創作詩歌、創作藝術品、診斷疾病、編寫總結報告和電腦程式碼,甚至可以設計與人類製造的積體電路相媲美的積體電路。

During the final hour of this semester, I said that "to many people, operations research is only a required course to graduate." That is the worst scenario of a course or a degree.
I will provide the positive scenarios if you master the concept of operations research.
