A Chinese university has become the first institution in the country to make artificial intelligence a compulsory module for students in all departments. Nanjing University, in Jiangsu province, announced its plan for an “artificial intelligence general core module system” at the end of February. From September onwards, undergraduate students will take an AI module as a compulsory part of their degree, in a bid to nurture “master-level strategic scientists” with an AI-literate, innovative and interdisciplinary approach.
