Ant InTech Forum: Michael Jordan Cautions on AI, PKU PhD Student Predicts Academic Conferences Will Vanish
机器之心 · wechat · 2026-09-11
At the 2026 Ant InTech Youth Pioneer Forum, ACL best-paper winner and PKU PhD student Jia Mingji argued that authorship matters less than whether a paper solves your question—and predicted academic conferences will disappear. Three-society academician Michael I. Jordan cautioned that AI remains far from human-like understanding, especially with uncertainty, and compared papers to a high-school orchestra: practice has value even when imperfect. Award-winning researcher-founders (Li Hongyang, Liu Ziwei, Zhang Mingxing) discussed why large-scale AI research is migrating from labs to companies, while panelists stressed that China's real scarcity is the tolerance to fund research that can't yet prove itself.
