Colloquium: 人工智能时代的物理学和物理人

The talk will briefly recall the evolution of AI, highlighting how large models driven by big data, massive computing power, and scaling laws are ushering humanity into the era of AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content). In scientific research, AI is driving a paradigm shift in mathematics and theoretical physics—from solving Olympiad-level competition problems to proving entirely new theorems, and from unassisted human proof to AI-assisted theorem proving. To address the “black box” of AI, the talk explores physicists’ perspectives on the technology, drawing on physical concepts to understand AI at the microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic (benchmarking) levels. Finally, the talk outlines a vision for a future educational ecosystem shaped through the collaboration of policymakers, teachers, students, and AI.
