BAAI CONFERENCE

An international pioneer in modern cryptography, communication complexity, and quantum computing, he was the only Chinese scientist to win the Turing Award (the highest international award in computer science) in 2000, and the first Chinese recipient of the Kyoto Prize in 2021. Professor Yao has a PhD in Physics from Harvard University and a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Illinois, and has taught at MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, and Princeton. 2004, he returned to China full-time to join Tsinghua University, where he founded the Tsinghua Hall Computer Science Experimental Class (Yao's class) in 2005, which has been hailed as the ‘best undergraduate computer science education in the world’. 2011, he founded the Tsinghua Hall Computer Science Experimental Class, which has been hailed as ‘the best undergraduate computer science education in the world’. In 2011, he founded the Tsinghua Quantum Information Center and the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information, and in 2024, he became the first director of the School of Artificial Intelligence at Tsinghua University, where he has been actively promoting innovative theories and interdisciplinary applications of artificial intelligence. In recent years, he has been actively promoting innovative theories and cross-disciplinary applications of artificial intelligence.

Chairman of Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, Professor of School of Computer Science, Peking University, Director of National Key Laboratory of Multimedia Information Processing. His main research interests are visual information processing and brain-like intelligence, and he has invented the principle of pulse continuous photography and ultra-high-speed vision chips, cameras and systems, and was awarded the second prize of the 2017 National Technology Invention Award (Key Technology for Efficient Visual Feature Analysis and Compression) and the second prize of the 2012 National Scientific and Technological Progress Award (Development of National Standards for Video Coding and its Industrial Application), and the Outstanding Contribution Award of the 2022 China Standards Innovation Contribution Award, the Outstanding Contribution Award of 2022 Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology Award. He is a National Jieqing Youth, a Changjiang Scholar, a leader in scientific and technological innovation under the Ten Thousand People Plan, and a Fellow of the Chinese Society of Artificial Intelligence, the Chinese Computer Society, the Chinese Society of Image and Graphics, and the Chinese Institute of Electronics.

The seventh Beijing Zhiyuan conference will be held in the exhibition center of Zhongguancun national independent innovation demonstration zone from June 6 to 7, 2025. As the top academic summit in the field of artificial intelligence, the conference brings together the world's top researchers to share the latest achievements and insight into key trends. Since its establishment in 2019, 12 bitmap Spirit Award winners have participated in the conference, attracting more than 200 experts each year, linking 500000 practitioners in more than 30 countries and regions around the world. It is known as the "AI expert Spring Festival Gala". In this year's forum, the smart source conference will focus on the four themes of AI basic theory, application exploration, industrial innovation and sustainable development, and set up nearly 20 thematic forums, covering many fields, such as deep reasoning model, multimodal model, embodied intelligence and humanoid robot, autonomous agent, next generation AI path exploration, brain inspiration, AI for Science (ai4s), etc., to comprehensively display the latest trends and achievements of global AI research and industrial development, and promote cross domain exchanges and cooperation. Zhiyuan conference is not only a feast of ideas, but also an exclusive party for AI insiders. In 2025, the smart source conference will welcome the winners of the four bitmap Spirit Awards, who lead the development of human intelligence science. The conference gathered scientists from MIT, Stanford, Tsinghua, Peking University and other 20+top scientific research institutions at home and abroad. They will work with industry experts from AI leading enterprises at home and abroad, such as deepmind, Linux, Huawei, Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, to discuss the cutting-edge trends and future trends of AI. When deep learning and reinforcement learning converge and resonate, when the thoughts of the world's top scholars and industry leaders are agitated, the 2025 smart source conference, which is currently facing the challenges of reality along the theory, will jointly grasp the pulse of the era of technological transition with global AI peers, and see the infinite possibilities of the future of intelligence. 双语对照
