人工智能將如何重塑大學(xué)？

高等教育的未來(lái)會(huì)走向何方？

11月8日，2025世界大學(xué)校長(zhǎng)論壇在杭州國(guó)際博覽中心舉辦。寧波諾丁漢大學(xué)執(zhí)行校長(zhǎng)喬納森·加里波第教授(Jon Garibaldi)出席論壇，并在“人工智能與科研范式的轉(zhuǎn)型”分論壇作主題報(bào)告。

本屆論壇聚焦“人工智能與高等教育的未來(lái)”這一前沿主題，匯聚來(lái)自五大洲40余個(gè)國(guó)家和地區(qū)的70余位境外大學(xué)校長(zhǎng)、20 余位國(guó)際組織及重要教育機(jī)構(gòu)負(fù)責(zé)人、200余位中國(guó)知名高校負(fù)責(zé)人及10余位兩院院士，共同探討AI對(duì)教學(xué)模式、科研范式、人才培養(yǎng)體系的推動(dòng)作用，為全球合作視野下我國(guó)高等教育高質(zhì)量發(fā)展尋找更優(yōu)路徑，也為世界高等教育可持續(xù)發(fā)展提供融通中外的智慧和答案。

加里波第教授以《人工智能范式轉(zhuǎn)移：對(duì)科學(xué)研究的啟示》為題，結(jié)合其30余年AI研究經(jīng)驗(yàn)，分享了獨(dú)到見(jiàn)解。他指出，當(dāng)前公眾常將ChatGPT、DeepSeek等大語(yǔ)言模型等同于“通用人工智能”，實(shí)則它們僅是AI的一個(gè)分支，本質(zhì)是基于海量數(shù)據(jù)的統(tǒng)計(jì)預(yù)測(cè)算法，結(jié)果未必可靠，需理性看待與審慎使用。

加里波第教授

“AI將以‘嵌入式方法論工具’的角色重塑科研實(shí)踐，如同計(jì)算機(jī)革命一樣，AI將在數(shù)據(jù)處理、論文撰寫(xiě)、合作溝通等方面提升效率，但不會(huì)取代人類(lèi)研究者，反而會(huì)讓善用AI的研究者更具競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力，各學(xué)科亟需探索AI在本領(lǐng)域的適用場(chǎng)景與應(yīng)用能力。”

針對(duì)AI的“雙面性”，他坦言存在代筆、偽造數(shù)據(jù)等濫用風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，IEEE（國(guó)際電氣與電子工程師協(xié)會(huì)）等出版機(jī)構(gòu)已出臺(tái)規(guī)范，要求明確標(biāo)注AI使用情況。但AI的正向價(jià)值更值得關(guān)注：它能協(xié)助科研人員打磨結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、表達(dá)清晰的高質(zhì)量論文，輔助評(píng)審者核查論文可讀性與研究可重復(fù)性，還能優(yōu)化實(shí)驗(yàn)設(shè)計(jì)與統(tǒng)計(jì)分析，未來(lái)必將為科學(xué)研究帶來(lái)深遠(yuǎn)且積極的推動(dòng)。

值得一提的是，寧諾今年也積極擁抱AI技術(shù)革新，推出“UNNC AI”，整合微軟官方Azure OpenAI GPT-4.1、o4-mini及 DeepSeek R1三大模型企業(yè)版，并搭載先進(jìn)的企業(yè)級(jí)AI安全保障體系，更同步出臺(tái)《學(xué)生人工智能使用政策》，為技術(shù)應(yīng)用劃定規(guī)范邊界。

如今，這一前沿AI工具已融入校園教學(xué)、科研與行政工作各環(huán)節(jié)：在教學(xué)中輔助師生拓展知識(shí)維度，在科研中為數(shù)據(jù)處理、實(shí)驗(yàn)設(shè)計(jì)提供智能支持，在日常工作中助力提升行政服務(wù)與協(xié)作效率。未來(lái)，寧諾將持續(xù)推動(dòng)技術(shù)創(chuàng)新與教育深度融合，以實(shí)際行動(dòng)引領(lǐng)智能時(shí)代的高等教育變革。

UNNC Provost attended 2025 World University Presidents Forum, explored AI's impact on research and higher education

How will AI reshape our universities, and what does the future hold for higher education? On 8 November, the 2025 World University Presidents Forum was held in Hangzhou. Professor Jon Garibaldi, Provost of the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), attended the forum and delivered a keynote speech at the sub-forum themed "AI and Scientific Research Paradigm Shift".

Centred on the forward-looking theme "AI and the Future of Higher Education", this year’s forum brought together more than 70 university presidents from over 40 countries and regions across five continents, more than 20 leaders from international organisations and key educational institutions, over 200 leaders from renowned Chinese universities, and more than 10 academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering. Participants explored AI’s pivotal role in revolutionising teaching models, transforming research paradigms, and enhancing talent development systems. The forum aimed to identify effective pathways for the high-quality development of Chinese higher education from a global cooperation perspective, while also contributing joint Sino-foreign wisdom and solutions to the sustainable development of global higher education.

In his keynote speech titled “The AI Paradigm Shift: Implications for Scientific Research”, Professor Garibaldi shared insights drawn from over 30 years of experience in AI research. He noted that the public today often equates Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek, with "general AI". In reality, he explained, these models are a specific subset of AI—essentially statistical prediction algorithms whose impressive performance relies on training with massive datasets. Their outputs are not always reliable, and therefore must be used with rational judgement and caution.

Professor Garibaldi emphasised that AI is transforming research practices by becoming an "embedded methodological tool". Just as the computer revolution reshaped research methods, AI will improve efficiency in data analysis, academic writing, and collaborative communication. However, he stressed that AI will not replace human researchers; rather, researchers who use AI effectively will replace those who do not. He called for urgent exploration within various disciplines to identify suitable AI applications and capabilities.

Addressing the dual nature of AI, Professor Garibaldi acknowledged the risks of misuse, such as AI-assisted ghostwriting and data fabrication. In response, publishing organisations like the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) have introduced guidelines that restrict the use of LLMs in academic writing and/or require explicit disclosure of their use. Nonetheless, he emphasised that AI’s positive potential deserves greater recognition: it can help researchers produce well-structured, well-presented, and clearly written high-quality papers. Moreover, AI can support the paper review process by improving readability, checking the reproducibility of research findings, and assisting in designing sound experiments and the applying statistical analysis to ensure that authors’ claims are supported by evidence.

Notably, UNNC has embraced AI-driven innovation this year through the launch of "UNNC AI". This platform integrates enterprise editions of three major models—Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI GPT-4.1, o4-mini, and DeepSeek R1—along with an advanced enterprise-level AI security system. It provides intelligent support for students’ daily learning and offers a reliable platform for staff and students to conduct AI-related research and practice. UNNC remains committed to promoting the integration of technological innovation and education, leading the transformation of higher education in the age of intelligence.
