Ding Cheng pointed out in his speech that since its establishment more than two years ago, Xifuhe Artificial Intelligence College and Research Institute have focused on cultivating high-level technical talents with “hard-core capabilities and comprehensive qualities”, guided by market demand, and based on enterprise technology. As the proposition, we are working together to create a batch of cutting-edge, innovative and cross-cutting artificial intelligence courses, and build a first-class teaching staff with rich practical experience, profound theoretical foundation, and international vision, as well as innovative talents in the field of artificial intelligence industry. The training system is constantly being improved. With the strong support of Yannan High-tech Zone, Xifuhe Artificial Intelligence Institute has completed the construction of all laboratories so far, including a machine vision laboratory, a parallel robot laboratory, a digital twin laboratory, and an unmanned system laboratory. As well as teaching and research platforms such as the Smart Speech Platform and Xifuhe Intelligent Cloud Platform, the total investment exceeds 10 million yuan. At the same time, based on the demand for artificial intelligence talent training, Xifuhe Artificial Intelligence College currently offers "Machine Learning" and "Python Programming". Artificial Intelligence Course.

Since its establishment, Xifuhe Artificial Intelligence College has successfully held the first Xifuhe Artificial Intelligence Summer Camp, Xifuhe Artificial Intelligence Forum, the first Yannan Science and Technology Information Officer and other influential activities; relying on With the scientific and technological innovation talents of Yancheng Institute of Technology and the good policy support of Yannan, Xifuhe Artificial Intelligence Institute has reached industry-university-research cooperation with 6 companies in Yannan, with a total contract value of more than 4 million yuan. At present, Xifuhe Artificial Intelligence Institute has carried out extensive scientific research cooperation and joint training with many domestic and international famous universities, including Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, Pennsylvania State University, Institute of Microelectronics, Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jiangsu Jicui Well-known institutions at home and abroad such as the Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Research Institute and China Aviation Development Xi'an Aerospace Engine Research Institute.

The construction of Xifuhe Artificial Intelligence College is of great significance for building a diversified education pattern, an industrialized education model, and promoting the in-depth development of school-site collaborative education. The Xifuhe Artificial Intelligence Lecture Hall is another useful attempt and innovative measure for the school to deepen the integrated development of the school and the local area and promote the collaborative innovation of government, industry, academia and research. Yancheng Institute of Technology will invite major experts in the field of artificial intelligence at home and abroad to give expert reports 3-5 times a month as the main form, with the key technologies and scenario innovations that enterprises are concerned about as the proposition, and the cutting-edge trends of industrial development as the entry point. Provide a platform for school graduate students and related enterprises in Yannan High-tech Zone to communicate and collide with high-level experts and scholars at home and abroad. In 2022, more than 70 patents have been applied for, and 12 patents have been authorized so far. 24 graduate students in the field of artificial intelligence have been trained, 13 of whom stayed in Yancheng to work in local enterprises; as of the end of May 2023, 62 invention patents have been applied for, which is the best place for local governments. The development of the artificial intelligence industry provides important talent and technological support.

Li Tiansong said in his speech that technology drives development and talents lead the future. In recent years, Yannan High-tech Zone has taken scientific and technological innovation as its guide, focused on industrial upgrading, followed a characteristic development path, and achieved high-quality development. The demand for science and technology and talents has become more urgent. Yancheng Institute of Technology serves local economic development and has strong advantages in technology and talents. The Xifuhe Institute of Artificial Intelligence and the Xifuhe Industry-University-Research Collaborative Innovation Center, built on the resources of universities, have accelerated the high-quality development of Xinhe science and technology, improved the level of transformation and implementation of scientific research results in universities and colleges, and achieved resource complementation, mutual benefit, and two-way Promote and develop together, allowing the resources of universities to create quality and perform wonderful performances in Yannan. This event uses learning as the medium and Xifuhe Artificial Intelligence College and Xifuhe Industry-University-Research Collaborative Innovation Center as the stage to promote interactive exchanges between the district, Yancheng Institute of Technology and the companies settled in the center. The opening of the lecture hall must The school and the local area will jointly build a science and technology innovation brand to comprehensively enhance the attractiveness and influence of regional science and technology innovation.

It is reported that in the next step, Xifuhe Artificial Intelligence Institute and Artificial Intelligence Industry Research Institute will further focus on the development of industrial automation, artificial intelligence, and big data industries in Yancheng, and use the scientific and technological information officer system to sort out the technical needs of artificial intelligence enterprises. In line with industry needs and talent needs, Xifuhe Artificial Intelligence Summer Camp, Xifuhe Artificial Intelligence Lecture Hall and other brand activities will be further carried out to build Xifuhe into a beautiful business card for collaborative education and innovation between government, industry, academia and research!
