Li Yiren stated that currently, artificial intelligence technology is transforming all industries at an unprecedented speed. The steel industry must keep pace with The Times, actively embrace AI technology, and especially achieve breakthroughs in the key link of talent cultivation. He believes that AI empowering talent cultivation is not only an innovation in technical means, but also a revolution in educational concepts.
Subsequently, he put forward five suggestions regarding digital education and training in the steel industry. First, we should strengthen the consensus on AI and clearly recognize the exponential changes and disruptive revolutions brought about by the rapid development and iteration of AI. Second, enhance exchanges and cooperation to jointly explore digital education and training models and methods suitable for the steel industry. Third, focus on actual needs, take solving the practical problems encountered by enterprises in the process of digital transformation as the orientation, and pay attention to the adaptability and pertinence of the training content. Fourth, promote integrated innovation to enhance the efficiency and quality of training. Fifth, we should strengthen the construction of the teaching staff and at the same time encourage technical backbone and management personnel of enterprises to participate in digital education and training platforms.
Song Xiangdang believes that the transformation and upgrading path of the steel industry is also a path of iterative upgrading of talent skills. He introduced that under the digital wave, steel enterprises in Hebei Province are seeking their own business tracks. The provincial committee and government of Hebei Province have also put forward specific requirements for strengthening the cultivation of talents in the steel industry. The Department of Industry and Information Technology of Hebei Province has carried out a series of continuing education programs relying on key universities such as University of Science and Technology Beijing, North China University of Science and Technology, and Hebei Vocational and Technical University of Industry, and explored a targeted enrollment model. Finally, he hopes that today's meeting will serve as a new starting point to accelerate the iterative upgrading of technological development in Hebei Province, continuously cultivate various types of skilled talents, and jointly create a high-quality development future for the steel industry.
When giving a report, Feng Chao expressed his earnest expectations for steel enterprises to closely follow the wave of digital transformation. He also introduced that the maturity assessment standard for digital transformation in the steel industry will help steel enterprises solve three problems in digital transformation: "understanding the current situation", "clarifying the future" and "forming a synergy". It provides important guidance for the directions and key tasks that steel enterprises need to focus on in intelligent manufacturing during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period.
