Recently, Tsinghua University held its 2025 undergraduate graduation ceremony. President Li Luming, in a speech titled "Learning from the Past, Embracing the New Path with Intelligence," urged students to actively embrace the era of new technologies represented by artificial intelligence, shape the future with innovative spirit, and stabilize the direction with humanistic spirit. A brief review of this year's graduation season speeches by university presidents reveals a distinct commonality - presidents are all focusing on the era of artificial intelligence. From 'AI not only does not weaken professional value, but can greatly unleash human creativity', to 'with the support of AI, continuously optimizing one's own learning algorithms', to' I believe that through hard work and struggle, you will be able to embrace and lead the era of intelligence '. These speeches have both warmth and height, full of expectations for students, hoping that they will make great achievements in the era of artificial intelligence, deeply grasp the laws of innovation, keenly perceive innovation opportunities, and actively cultivate innovative qualities. Artificial intelligence is an important driving force leading a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, profoundly changing people's production, life, and learning methods, and promoting the intelligent era of human-machine collaboration, cross-border integration, and co creation and sharing in human society. ”Currently, China has become the world's largest holder of artificial intelligence patents, with remarkable development achievements and many technologies already in a leading position. This year is known as the "first year of AI terminal application explosion", and the popularity of AI is heating up. In this context, it is natural for many university presidents to discuss this topic in their graduation speeches. Some argue that in the era of AI, one must either evolve alongside AI or be marginalized by AI. In the face of the trend of new technology surging, only by having "numbers" in mind, following the "trend", and riding on "intelligence" can we achieve more. Being a proactive innovator in the era of AI is the era choice for graduates. So, what wisdom and strength can young people in the new era draw from the speeches of principals? Firstly, actively embrace the AI era. The development of AI cannot be separated from innovation and creativity, and young people are the most dynamic and creative group in society, as well as the driving force behind the development of technological innovation. In the areas where innovation is most needed, finding the most suitable track for one's own development, rooting deeply, daring to innovate, will achieve twice the result with half the effort. Of course, the path of innovation cannot be smooth and steady, but is full of twists and risks, which requires young people to endure loneliness. As the principal once said, "Only by maintaining the enthusiasm for pursuing truth, the courage to face difficulties, and the indomitable will can we hope to reach the glorious peak." Secondly, we should rationally view the development of AI in our country. In recent years, the CPC Central Committee has attached great importance to the development of AI, improved top-level design, strengthened work deployment, and promoted the overall and systematic leap of China's AI comprehensive strength. However, there are still shortcomings and weaknesses in basic theories, key core technologies, and other aspects in China. From this perspective, the achievements made in the development of AI in our country have attracted worldwide attention, and every young person in the new era has reason to be proud. However, we cannot underestimate ourselves or be arrogant. Instead, we must remain clear headed and strive to achieve success in key core technologies. We should also maintain a comprehensive and objective approach to AI, neither weakening nor deifying it; we should see both the opportunities and risks brought by AI. As a principal once said, "Throughout human history, the application of powerful technology has often posed enormous challenges to social equity, ethics, and public interests. In the face of AI, whether you can persist in independent thinking and adhere to the bottom line of conscience will determine whether the application of technology is for the good. ”Adhere to the principle of putting people first, promote technology for the good, think more about who technology is born for, and delve deeper into the people behind data in order to reach new heights in the AI era. Thirdly, grasp the insights brought by AI. In recent years, there have been over ten million college graduates each year, and it is impossible for every graduate to work in the field of AI. However, the development of AI provides inspiration for every graduate. A headmaster sent a message, "In the face of this profound technological revolution, we should adhere to an open and inclusive heart, keep pace with the times, and absorb the power to transform the world in the change." "In the 'constant' and 'change' of the AI era, we should use the 'way' of building people and the world to control the 'technology' of innovation and creation, and strive to write a brilliant youth chapter in the grand journey of promoting Chinese path to modernization". It should be said that every field faces the test of "perseverance" and "change", "Dao" and "Shu". For college graduates, only by staying true to tradition and innovating, and adapting in eternity, can they achieve success in their positions and achieve a brilliant life. At the graduation ceremony, the university president shared new thoughts on the life growth brought by algorithms, data, and computing power, and gave students three "tips" - "Algorithm Tips", "Data Tips", and "Computing Tips". In fact, every principal's speech is a "treasure trove", and every "treasure trove" can be useful on the road of life. The key is how to use it well. Artificial intelligence is a career for young people, and it is also a career for young people. ”Young people in the new era are immersed in the wave of the AI era, with rare opportunities and a broad stage. From "technological empowerment" to "ethical protection", from "breaking through disciplinary barriers" to "returning to humanities", embracing the mission entrusted by the times and daring to take on the responsibilities entrusted by the times, this is the charm of young people in the new era. Being a responsible actor, rushing to the mountains and seas in struggle, and living on the journey of building a strong country and national rejuvenation, one must be able to shine brightly.
