願景 Vision
「智慧运算学院」的教育理念是基於下列對未來生活的展望。
CoIC is established to address the following vision on future human lives.
人工智慧為社會基礎設施 AI as an infrastructure
就如同電腦、網路與智慧型手機，人工智慧 (AI) 將不會是一個單獨存在的服務，而會成為人類社會中日常生活的基礎設施。在不久的將來，我們彼此詢問的問題不會是「你有使用AI嗎？」而是「你是用哪個版本或哪一代的AI？」就好比手機現在已經是我們日常、社交、財務與專業工作的基本配備，AI將會在我們每一個小決定或與別人互動時，扮演極關鍵的角色。AI將會無所不在，無所不能，且廣為普羅大眾使用。
Much like computers, the Internet and smartphones, AI will not be used as a standalone service but will become part of the infrastructure for everyday activities. In the near future, we will not ask the question “Do you use AI?” Instead, we will ask “Which AI version or generation do you use?” Just like smartphones now are an integrated part of our personal, social, financial and professional operations, AI will play a key role in our daily decisions and interactions with other people and systems. AI will be in everything, everywhere and for everyone.
全球化的生活方式 Globalization as a lifestyle
世界正在不断缩小中，不是实际空间的变小，而是在文化、商业和人际连结。我们都是世界公民的一份子，或许散居在地球的不同角落，但我们正与全球人才合作或竞争。多数本地的年轻人将来会任职於面对全球市场的公司中。想要成為成功的专业人士，国际化的思维与工作态度将是最基本的能力。要能无间的与世界各地的职人合作，国际沟通力和理解力将是极為重要的条件。最后，要能设计并欣赏全球顶尖作品，全球化的生活体验与学习经验才能孕育最关键的核心概念！
The world is becoming smaller, not in physical size but in culture, commerce and connection. All of us are citizens of the global society. We may live in different parts of the world, but we are competing with talents from different corners of this planet. Most of our young people will work for companies that are key players in the global market. To be a successful professional, being able to work and think globally will be the most basic quality. To effectively collaborate with people from all over the world, global communication skills for mutual understanding will be essential. Finally, to design and appreciate the best product of the world, a global living and learning experience may provide the most critical insight!
大學是學習之道的殿堂 College for learning the art of learning
我们许多人上大学是為了取得一个学位，「学习」仅是达成此目标的一个方法。但是，学习绝不会也不该在毕业后就终止。在所有的高科技领域，尤其是资通与础滨，创新与技术革命都是常态。其实研发础滨领域的科学，就是在学习「学习之道」，不管是教导机器或人类的学习之道。大学是创新创造的殿堂，充满无限奇妙的想像力和可能。就好比一个走入糖果店的孩子，「学习」对於础滨工作者本身就是件无比吸引人的课题，更尤其我们的研究是在学习如何让机器或人类学习！
Many of us attend college to get a diploma. Learning is the way to reach that goal. However, learning will not and should not stop after graduation. In all technology fields, especially in IT and AI, new innovation and revolution are the norm. Pursuing an advanced degree in AI is to learn the art of learning, both for machines and humans. College is a place to immerse ourselves in amazing innovative ideas, just like kids walking into a candy store. Learning will be so much fun for AI professionals, especially if we are learning to teach machines, and humans, to learn!
