On May 31, baidu released the report "Baidu search · 2022 college entrance examination big data". According to the report data, among the top ten hot majors this year, artificial intelligence ranks first, and artificial intelligence has been the most hot specialty for three consecutive years From the data changes of the hot search specialty, we can see that from 2013 to 2016, the majors directly related to finance and trade, such as financial management, international economy and trade, and finance, were the most popular. They not only ranked first, but also accounted for more than half of the hot search specialty.

In this data report, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and automation ranked second and third respectively; It is not surprising that big data technology and robot engineering, which have a lot to do with artificial intelligence, have entered the list; It is worth noting that, influenced by the post epidemic era, biomedical engineering, health services and management, and psychology have also entered TOP10.
Figure note: ten years of college entrance examination hot search professional changes
During the period from 2013 to 2016, the society has little understanding of engineering. If children want to learn engineering, computers are the first choice. However, for this major with broad development direction, people still lack understanding.
2017 is a turning point. In this year, the artificial intelligence specialty has entered the public's vision, and its ranking has been steadily improved. By 2019, it will be the first, and it has occupied the first place for three years. Looking ahead, from 2020 to now, the hot search specialty is full of blue representing engineering, this shows that the social tendency to choose a career is becoming more and more "practical", and the parents of students are gradually favoring cutting-edge technology**
Which school is better in artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence has gained momentum in recent years. Taking advantage of the tide of the times, many domestic colleges and universities have set up artificial intelligence majors or colleges. Among them, Tsinghua University has an absolute advantage in the field of domestic artificial intelligence and belongs to the first echelon.
The subject of artificial intelligence in Tsinghua University has a long history and comprehensive development. In 1979, the Department of electronic engineering of Tsinghua University opened the course introduction to artificial intelligence, which is one of the earliest artificial intelligence courses in domestic universities. As we all know, Yaoban and Zhiban in the field of artificial intelligence are all from Tsinghua University.
Peking University has recruited returning Daniel zhusongchun. Professor Zhu currently serves as the dean of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute of Peking University and leads the general artificial intelligence experimental class of Peking University, aiming to introduce top talents into the field of general artificial intelligence. With his joining, Peking University can be said to be even more powerful.
Universities such as University of Electronic Science and technology, Xi'an University of Electronic Science and technology, Zhejiang University and Shanghai Jiaotong University also believe that each has its own advantages and considerable strength; NLP (natural language processing, a direction of artificial intelligence) of Harbin Institute of technology has also been widely praised.
There are also many students who have low scores in the college entrance examination and are very interested in artificial intelligence. They choose Hangzhou University of Electronic Science and technology, which is "double non". It is understood that although Hangzhou University of Electronic Science and technology is a provincial university with "double non" status, it is very student practice, competition and employment. The graduates of Hangzhou University of Electronic Science and technology are very popular with local big factories and enterprises in Hangzhou. Non-985211 has not become an obstacle, but let enterprises pay more attention to the practical works of students. Hang Dian is also an excellent opportunity for college entrance examination students who are interested in artificial intelligence.
However, some netizens believe that after artificial intelligence became popular, it seemed that colleges and universities began to set up majors and colleges one after another overnight. There are e-commerce and the Internet of things. Now there are big data and artificial intelligence. Some of the so-called hot majors are just a hard patchwork of several disciplines. The reason behind the establishment of the college is that the school has not really understood how the majors should train students, let alone lead students to employment. Through this "artificial intelligence fever", students should choose those institutions that really devote themselves to academic education, rather than think that just choosing AI major is a step into the door of cutting-edge technology, and the future can be expected.
As Yao song, a Tsinghua entrepreneurship student and CEO of Oriental space, said, parents who do not work in the industry actually have lagging or even wrong data and information. Artificial intelligence, a complex specialty that includes computer neural network, natural language recognition, machine learning, computer imaging, big data processing and so on, covers a wide range of research fields and requires students to make choices. We should not blindly pursue hot industries, but should encourage students to explore interesting majors by themselves, and even the specific direction in the major, so that students can be responsible for their own lives.
It is another college entrance examination season. What do you think about the choice of majors for college entrance examination students?
