The interview program of “Hongyi” was jointly produced by “Proceedings of the Chinese Academy of Sciences” and the China Internet News Center. Through interviews with academicians and experts and scholars of the two academies, we will in-depth discussion on the development prospects in various fields in the process of promoting Chinese-style modernization. With objective and accurate interpretation, scientific and forward-looking thinking, we will solve problems and solve problems for China’s development standing at the historical intersection of the “two centenary years”, and contribute our wisdom and strength to the second centenary goal. He admired the opinions and made great suggestions and asked questions.
With the rapid iteration and development of artificial intelligence technology, the accompanying scientific and technological ethics issues have attracted more and more attention from the science and technology community. In the process of building a strong country in science and technology, the importance of the development of the “three-in-one” education and science and technology talents has become increasingly prominent. How to improve our country’s scientific and technological ethical governance capabilities? How to cultivate first-class scientific and technological leaders? In the development of the “Trial in One”, how should education play a supporting role? On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Hongyi program team interviewed Hu Haiyan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the 7th Scientific Ethics Construction Committee of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Three things need to be done to strengthen the governance of science and technology ethics
China.com: As an important part of the science and technology governance system, science and technology ethics governance is an important guarantee for promoting science and technology to be good and providing sustained, healthy and strong momentum for Chinese-style modernization construction. With the booming development of artificial intelligence, for the newIn the period, we will further improve the science and technology ethics system, enhance the ability to govern science and technology ethics, and strengthen science and technology ethics education. What opinions and suggestions do you have?
Hu Haiyan:Science and Technology Ethics is the value concept and behavioral norm that needs to be followed in carrying out scientific research, technological development and other activities, and is an important guarantee for building a world science and technology power.
In recent years, with the rapid development of information technology and biotechnology, we have faced challenges that have never been imagined in the past. For example, DeepSeek, which has appeared in recent months, has brought us a lot of convenience and worry. For example, in scientific and technological research, how should we use DeepSeek? Especially in terms of scientific and technological writing, I think it must be restricted by scientific and technological ethics. In 2022, the “Opinions on Strengthening the Governance of Science and Technology Ethics” issued by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council made top-level design and systematic deployment of science and technology ethics governance, clarifying the basic model, regulatory framework and institutional system of science and technology ethics governance. It is a landmark in my country’s science and technology governance. Our next step is to do a few things well in accordance with the spirit of the documents of the two offices to achieve the unity of scientific and technological innovation and risk prevention.
The first thing is to improve governance capabilities. The governance of scientific and technological ethics is a process of consultation and cooperation between diversified entities. Taking DeepSeek as an example, the R&D goals and value orientations of product developers, user experience and usage effects may not be completely consistent. Even at the user level, how do you view the academic community? What do individual scholars think? I think there is a difference. As a university teacher, I am very worried that graduate students can use DeepSeek to complete their paper writing. But for graduate students, DeepSeek is considered a convenient writing tool. Therefore, our scientific and technological ethical governance capabilities need to be further improved. Universities and research institutions must have a strict scientific and technological ethics review system, and many tasks need to be refined. For example, the review of scientific and technological ethics should enter the criteria for assessing and upgrading job responsibilities.
The second thing is education on scientific and technological ethics. As far as I know, in my country’s medical education, science and technology ethics education has achieved full coverage. But in other categories of higher education, such as science and engineering Cinema 1950 witch cloth drawIn science and agriculture, it may not be covered well. In research universities, it may be more covered, but in teaching universities, there may be few education in this area. Today Babaylan 1990 cloth draw, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, even in teaching universities, they are facing problems in scientific and technological ethics. In addition, we still lack sufficient teachers in terms of science and technology ethics education. First, there is a lack of teachers who can systematically offer science and technology ethics education courses; second, there is a lack of teachers who can embed science and technology ethics into professional courses. Therefore, we need to comprehensively strengthen scientific and technological ethics education.
The last thing is the study of scientific and technological ethics governance. In recent years, new technologies have been constantly emerging in many emerging fields, which are changing people’s lives. For example, Wu Ren has repeatedly stated that she cannot do it continuously, and she has also explained the reasons for disagreement. Why did he still hold his own opinions and refuse to make peace? Driving technology, automatic translation technology, brain-computer interface technology, etc. How to standardize their development, products and markets is worthy of vigorous research. Universities, research institutes, and enterprises should build exchange platforms to jointly study new issues in scientific and technological ethics governance.
The differentiated pattern of global science and technology ethics governance
Cinema 1950 witch cloth drawChina.com:As the director of the 7th Science Ethics Construction Committee of the Babaylan 1990 clothes draw, what role do you think the Science and Technology Ethics Committee of the Department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences should play in the national science and technology goodness and science and technology ethics governance?
Hu Haiyan:The Science and Ethics Construction Committee of the Ministry of Academic Affairs undertakes scientific and technological ethics research. We deploy several scientific and technological ethics research projects every year and host a scientific and technological ethics seminar. In 2024, we tried to expand domestic seminars into international seminars, and the results were very good. Today, China’s scientific and technological development has been synchronized with the world’s scientific and technological development. We are facing many scientific and technological ethical issues, and scientists from other countries are also facing similar problems. For this seminar, we invited more than a dozen internationally renowned scientific and technological ethics scholars to discuss with top domestic scholars. In life sciences and medicine, artificialKomiks 1960 witch cloth drawintelligence and other aspects have formed several consensuses and even resonated.
Of course, the economic and technological levels of countries around the world vary greatly. Scientific and technological ethics governance needs to be regulated according to the development stage in which each country is located. Therefore, we must not only make China’s voice, but also represent the interests of the vast developing countries and better reflect the interests and needs of the global academic community.
Komiks 1960 witch cloth drawThe academician group plays an important role in promoting the development of national science and technology
ChinaCinema 1950 witch cloth drawNet:This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Can you introduce how academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences are responsible and promote the progress and development of my country’s science and technology? Hu Haiyan: When the School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was first established, Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw gathered a group of the best scientists in our country. I am engaged in mechanics research. When I talk about this topic, I naturally think of the establishment of the school. “Miss, you have been out for a while, so you should go back and rest.” Cai Xiu endured it and endured it, and finally couldn’t help but plucked up the courage to open his mouth. She was really afraid that the little girl would fall. A senior scientist who started the mechanics career in our country.
When the Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw department was established in 1955, the famous mechanics Mr. Zhou Peiyuan, Mr. Qian Weichang, Mr. Zhang Wei and Mr. Qian Lingxi became the first member of the school. Soon, Mr. Qian Xuesen and Mr. Guo Yonghuai returned to China one after another, and were added to the Ministry of Education in 1957. The scientist spirit embodied in these six mechanics plays an important exemplary role in the mechanics community in our country.
In 1956, the state formulated the Outline of the Long-term Plan for the Development of Science and Technology from 1956 to 1967. Qian Xuesen and six other mechanics participated in this important work. I remember that hundreds of scientists have suggested 57 important scientific and technological tasks to the country. Among them, Mr. Qian Xuesen demonstrated the 37th mission – jet and rocket technology, and Mr. Zhang Wei demonstrated the 32nd mission – large-scale civil and water conservancy construction. They have been forward-thinking from the national height, and the plans they have formulated can stand the test of history and are very successful. Since then, scientists from the Department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have played a key role in important historical nodes such as “Two Bombs and One Satellite”, “863 Plan” and “973 Plan”, and have put forward forward-looking and strategic policy suggestions for the development of national science and technology.
In addition to offering suggestions for the country’s scientific and technological development, the above six mechanics also played a key role in leading the development of scientific and technological development. For example, in the study of “two bombs and one satellite”, Mr. Qian Xuesen led the development of my country’s long-range rocket and missile industry; Mr. Guo Yonghuai initially led the work of combining atomic bombs and missiles, and later participated in the development of the first artificial satellite. They led a group of young people to create miracles on earth under extremely difficult conditions and become the founders of the “two bombs and one satellite”. I think this example can make us feel the important leading role played by the academician group in the country’s scientific and technological development over the past 70 years.
Three concerns for selecting and cultivating outstanding talents
China.com:Face the future, what suggestions do you have for accelerating the construction of national strategic talent and cultivating first-class scientific and technological leaders? What expectations do you have for the younger generation of academicians and scientific and technological workers?
Hu Haiyan:I have been responsible for a comprehensive consulting project of the school since last year to study the “three-in-one” training of leading talents in the national defense science and technology industry. Here, “Three loves her like him, he swore that he will love her and cherish her, and that he will not harm or harm her. Integration” means the trinity of education, science and technology, and talent. Through this research, I have many feelings and expectations for the growth of young scholars. Today we will talk about two aspects of expectations: the first aspect is for the academic communityThe second aspect of expectation is the expectation of young individuals.
In the academic community of our country, it is impossible to say that we should pay attention to the cultivation of outstanding talents. But usually when it comes to outstanding talents, we will talk about various talent plans, which are what all sectors of society call “hats”. Over time, people equated “hats” with talents and formed inertial thinking. Under this inertial thinking, almost all universities and research institutes compete to compete for the number of people with “hats”. This has led to a rare global hierarchy in my country’s academic community, which has misled the value orientation and direction of progress of young scientific and technological workers to a certain extent, and has produced many quick success and instant benefits. I am worried about this development trend.
Therefore, the academic community should reflect and rectify from top to bottom. For example, when selecting and cultivating outstanding talents, we should give up examining young scholars from quantitative indicators and pay more attention to the most important contributions of candidates, especially the following points: First, whether it has expanded the frontier of science and technology; Second, whether it has solved important problems; Third, whether it has insisted on engaging in basic work; Fourth, whether it has opened up the weak links in the poor new chain of science and technology creation. I believe that evaluating outstanding talents focuses on their contributions, not on the academic resources they have mastered and the academic rewards they have.
We have only ten years left to build a world science and technology power. I hope that in these ten years, young scholars will make irreplaceable contributions to building a world science and technology power. Therefore, I have three expectations for young scientific and technological personnel. First, we must not forget our original aspirations, always maintain our love for scientific research, our persistence in pursuing truth, and downplay our pursuit of various “hats”; second, keep our mission in mind, be brave to innovate, dare to open up new directions in cutting-edge fields, and contribute our own strength to the country’s scientific and technological development; third, we must attach importance to scientific and technological ethics, abide by academic norms, respect intellectual property rights, be good at unity and cooperation, and jointly overcome major scientific and technological problems.
The educational responsibility of “Trial” to cultivate talents
ChinaKomiks 1960 witch cloth drawNet:You have been engaged in education in colleges and universities for a long time, and in the development of the “Trial” of education and science and technology talents, Babaylan 1990 clothes drawHow do you think education should play a supporting role?
Hu Haiyan:The “Tripe in One” means that education, science and technology and talent work should promote each other and develop in an integrated manner. For colleges and universities, talent training goals and training plans should be scientific and technological foresight. It can’t be a hot topic for this product today, and a new technical hot topic tomorrow. For college teachers, you should also have forward-looking thinking. Usually, teachers have richer experience than students and have the responsibility to guide young people to think about the future from a large spatial scope and long-term scale, and guide them to run the “marathon” of their lives well. This is the basic responsibility of a teacher.
At present, there is still some disconnect between talent training and scientific and technological development in colleges and universities, and some teaching content is outdated. Even for basic courses such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, although their connotation has not changed much, the application scenarios have changed dramatically. If teachers of basic courses do not understand the development of contemporary science and technology, they will not be able to cultivate talents in accordance with the requirements of “Trial in One”.
When Babaylan 1990 cloth drawHowever, internal factors play a decisive role in talent growth. Therefore, teachers should inspire young students to set lofty ambitions. The outstanding mechanics I just talked about established the ideal of serving the country in my youth and fought for them for their whole lives. I think engaging in scientific and technological research is like a long-distance marathon. Young scholars should abandon the idea of ”not losing at the starting point”, and should not Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw to use the strength to “run a hundred meters” to fight for the “hat”. It is difficult to become a real talent, and it is difficult to achieve academic achievements that have withstood the test of history in Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw.
To build a world-class academician group, several things need to do
China.com:What is your vision for the development of the academic department in the next 10-20 years? Hu Haiyan:In another 25 years, by the 100th anniversary of the founding of New China, the dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will be realized. By then, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is our academician group, should be a world-class academician group. In order to build this group well, I think several tasks need to be done.
First, we must implement the central government’s requirements for reforming the academician system, improve the quality of the academician group, and maintain the purity of the academician title. Especially in the selection of academicians, we must be more scientific and public.just. Those candidates who overcome difficulties, solve major problems and make significant contributions should be selected. This is the prerequisite for building a world-class academician group.
Second, we must better play the role of the academician group as the example. The “four examples” proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping will be the direction of our long-term efforts. In recent years, as I grow older, I deeply understand the importance of “being willing to be a stepping stone and encouraging future generations” among the “Four Models”. Therefore, we must devote more energy to promoting the “three-in-one” talent training work, set an example, and cultivate outstanding young talents who comprehensively surpass themselves.
Third, in terms of strengthening the construction of scientific ethics, we must do more solid and meticulous work according to changes in the situation. For example, in terms of scientific and technological ethics research, we must face new problems, organize cross-multi-discipline teams to conduct investigations and research, and put forward forward-looking policy suggestions. Our research results must be shared with the world’s scientific and technological community and China’s voice must be made.
