/PRCWT/October 30, 2023 SHENYANG -- On October 27, CNCC 2023 Science Popularization Forum sponsored by the Science Popularization Working Committee of China Computer Society was held in the Imperial Dynasty Wanxin Hotel, Heping District, Shenyang. This science popularization forum invited many scientific research institutes and industry representatives to attend, with the theme of "science fiction lights up the future of computing", to explore the broken circle integration between science fiction films and science and technology. Wang Yuanzhuo, executive director of CCF, Director of the Science Popularization Working Committee and researcher of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, served as the chairman of the forum, and Ji Xiangting, deputy director of the Science Popularization Working Committee of the China Computer Society (CCF), served as the co-chairman of the forum and presided over the meeting.
CNCC 2023 Science Forum is CNCC The only public forum in 2023 aims to provide participants with thinking, research and practice information in the field of computing science popularization from the perspective of science fiction, so that everyone can better understand the latest achievements and developments in related fields, build consensus and broaden ideas in understanding the development status of digital life and promoting the development of artificial intelligence.
At the beginning of the forum, Forum Chairman Wang Yuanzhuo delivered a speech. Wang Yuanzhuo first expressed his thanks to the experts and scholars who participated in this forum, and he looked forward to exploring the unknown with you through the forum, stimulating the spark of computational thinking through sharing and discussion, and jointly promoting the development of frontier computing fields such as artificial intelligence.
Follow the Wandering Earth 2 and explore the future of computing
This science popularization forum started the report with the popular science fiction film "Wandering Earth 2" as a logical clue, and invited the DIT director of the whole process of the film and the scientific consultant to the scene to make a theme report.
In the first stage of the forum, as a representative of the enterprise, Liu Yang, director of the whole process of DIT of Sanjie Film Culture (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and founder of the company, took the film Wandering Earth 2 as an example to introduce the application of industrial shooting methods in hard science fiction films, and he also shared the experience of how to use 5G Internet technology to complete overseas filming during the epidemic period.
Cui Yuanhao, assistant director of CCF Science Popularization Working Committee and research assistant professor of Southern University of Science and Technology, believes that since ancient times, science fiction films have borne the imagination space of human beings for the future world. Since the popularity of many movies such as Interstellar and Back to the Future, people have never stopped discussing the future science predicted in the movies, which of them have been real now? What is possible? Or what are the visions of the future? In his report, he gave a brief introduction to his scientific advisory work on Wandering Earth 2 and his vision for the future.
Wang Yuanzhuo, executive director of CCF, director of the Science Popularization Working Committee, and researcher of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, started from the perspective of scientific advisor of Wandering Earth 2, and discussed what is life, what is digital life, and the development process of digital life in science fiction works. It also introduces the current research process of "digital scientist dad", discusses how to realize the relationship with science fantasy, and how to feel science fantasy into reality.
Focus on hot topics, talk about the forefront of science and technology
The topics discussed in this forum range from artificial intelligence represented by Chat GPT, to the integration of AI, life science, computing and aerospace technology, the future education and career in the era of artificial intelligence, to the fantasy and reality in science fiction movies, all centering on the topics that the public is most concerned about in the era of artificial intelligence.
Zhang Junping, professor of the School of Computer Science and Technology of Fudan University, pointed out in the keynote speech of "The future of computing - science fiction interpretation" that the current large model has set off a new wave of artificial intelligence, how artificial intelligence will develop in the future, science fiction often uses more cutting-edge ideas to imagine, there are right and wrong, exaggerated and pragmatic. He believes that The Future of Computing organizes a group of science fiction novels from this perspective, and in his speech, he explores the content of the novel and its relationship with artificial intelligence.
Bao Yuanfu, associate professor at the College of Media and Communications of Guizhou Minzu University, takes robot themes or representative texts containing robot plots in Chinese online science fiction novels since the new century as the starting point to explain, discusses the role image types, plot functions and aesthetic and artistic values of robots in online science fiction narrative practice, and discusses the impact of robot narration on human civilization in online science fiction novels The multifaceted impact of development, social ethical construction and affective cognitive style. He believes that through the text analysis of a number of excellent network science fiction novels, we can deeply understand the ethical reflection of Chinese network science fiction writers on the reality of technological change, reveal their discourse construction paradigm of future science and technology and real life, scientific and technological rationality and humanistic spirit, and hope to highlight the creative expression and manifestation of robot narration with the help of the subcultural narrative creation of network science fiction as a new medium Real theoretical value.
The forum also featured a roundtable discussion on the theme "Digital Life". Wang Yuanzhuo served as the keynote speaker of the roundtable discussion, Liu Yang, Zhang Junping, Bao Yuanfu, Zhihu V Zhang Wei and others served as guests and participated in the discussion, revealing the mysteries and possibilities of digital life for the participants from different perspectives. The audience actively asked questions, and the scene stimulated the spark of thinking. Through this roundtable discussion, participants were able to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the topic of digital life and provide valuable reflections on the future development of digital life.
Practice science and technology for the good, and help science popularization and development
Since its establishment, the Science Popularization Working Committee of the China Computer Society has been committed to editing and publishing computer popular science books, and has organized and carried out various forms of popular science education and publicity activities, such as the collection of excellent content of popular science, the identification project of CCF popular science education base, and the collection of CCF popular science reading recommended books.
In this forum, Li Jingyuan, a professor from Beijing Technology and Business University, introduced the collection of outstanding content for science popularization. He mentioned that the activity has always been to popularize cutting-edge knowledge in the field of information technology, expand the scientific and technological vision and common sense of the masses, and try to popularize the concept and method of science popularization among the majority of young people, with the goal of practicing the concept of science and technology for the good.
Sun Songlin, professor of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, introduced the CCF science Popularization Education Base identification project, and issued the first batch of science popularization base certificates for relevant units.
CCF popular science reading recommended book collection activity is to popularize computer knowledge, carry forward the scientific spirit as the core, to broaden the public's vision, promote the popularization of computer knowledge, meet the growing knowledge needs of the people, improve the scientific and cultural literacy of the whole society. Cui Yuanhao, research assistant professor of Southern University of Science and Technology, announced the list of popular science books in this forum, and relevant popular science book authors also spoke on stage.
