From September 1st to 3rd, the 2022 World Artificial Intelligence Conference was held in Shanghai.

Outside the silver hall of the Shanghai World Expo Center, there was a large -scale art painting "Wisdom of the Wisdom" with a high -size art painting of 3.7 meters high and 7.5 meters wide. The work was carefully created by Professor Qiu Zhijie of the Central Academy of Fine Arts and was also a heavy work launched for the fifth anniversary of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference.

"Smart Simpling Map" depicts the history of artificial intelligence development, the history of artificial intelligence, the history of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, and the development and application of artificial intelligence -all important concepts, events and participants in this work connect.

It consolidates artificial intelligence's thinking and magnificent, full of exploration, and art and technology are integrated here.

On September 2nd, at the Shangtang Technology Artificial Intelligence Forum, Qiu Zhijie delivered a keynote speech to elaborate his concept of creating "Smart World Map" and his views on artificial intelligence and future art development.

In the work of "Zhihui World Map", Qiu Zhijie deliberately used a lot of very strong colors that were not used in traditional Chinese landscape paintings, as well as clinging techniques to express the temperament of contemporary cities.

"Of course, I did not forget to put it into the Chinese tradition here. For example, in the lower right corner of the picture, I put it into the ancient Chinese" Zhou Yi ". Sports, mathematicians Li Shanlan, Hua Yanfang, etc. This is the general summary of this map. "Qiu Zhijie said.

As a joint creator, Shang Tang Technology prepared a lot of information in the early days of Qiu Zhijie's creation. After the painting was completed, the technical team used augmented reality (AR) technology to vividly show the scenes depicted by the map and connect each other to form a strict and tightly formation. Interesting structure.

Qiu Zhijie said that as early as the 1970s, artists began to explore with computers to draw, and computer art, algorithm art, and deep art have appeared. In 2016, Qiu Zhijie went to the Central Academy of Fine Arts and found that students' attention was staring at mobile phones or iPad screens, or TV screens, or projection.

"Students are more concerned about virtual reality. But the very vast field of science and technology has not been noticed, such as the development of new materials, biological art, ecological art, medicine, agriculture, weather, space, etc. At the beginning, I started to put forward the concept of 'technology art' at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. "

In March of this year, Qiu Zhijie's science and art discipline entered the undergraduate professional catalog of the Ministry of Education. A new major appeared in the art school: "Science and Technology Art". Qiu Zhijie said: "Artificial intelligence is always one of the main exploration sectors in the field of technology and art, which involves deep art, which is the algorithm art today. At the same time, it also involves very popular machine learning in recent years. Created artwork. It can be said that artificial intelligence changes greatly on the art ecology. "

Facing the influence of artificial intelligence on the art world, Qiu Zhijie is an optimist.

"When observing the interaction of artificial intelligence and art, I found that there is a big deal in it. The real great things may still be on the road. Don't forget that when the photography appears, many painters who paint portrait paintings have laid off. Because of the emergence of photography, the painters began to think that what kind of paintings should be used for photography are irreplaceable. Therefore, we have Van Gogh, Cezhang and Picasso. "
