5月11日至13日，由中國教育部主辦的第四屆世界數字教育大會在浙江杭州舉行。

本屆大會以“人工智能+教育：變革·發展·治理”為主題，匯聚各國政要、教育主管部門負責人、駐華使節、國際組織代表、中外知名高校校長、人工智能領域專家學者與頭部企業代表，共同探討人工智能驅動教育系統性變革的路徑，構建包容、安全、可持續的全球數字教育發展新生態。

大會期間，英國諾丁漢大學校務委員會主席基思·奧尼恩斯爵士在大會開幕式全體會議上作主題分享，展現諾丁漢大學在全球教育治理與AI融合議題中的重要影響力。

與此同時，作為中外合作大學代表，寧波諾丁漢大學執行校長喬納森·加里波第教授受邀深度參與大會多項議程，并在平行論壇發表主旨演講。

AI重塑科研范式

賦能全球教育創新

基思·奧尼恩斯爵士在開幕式的發言中指出，諾丁漢大學愿作為世界一流教育的合作伙伴，與中國教育界攜手共建以人為本、公平安全的教育生態，主動擁抱并引領這場深刻的教育變革。

喬納森·加里波第教授在題為《構建新型科研能力：人工智能賦能科研范式變革》的演講中，結合其30余年的人工智能研究經歷，深入闡述了AI對全球科研生態的深遠影響。

他指出，以大語言模型和生成式AI為代表的新一代技術，正推動AI從計算機科學領域的專業課題，逐步成為跨學科科研的重要基礎工具。

喬納森·加里波第教授發表主旨演講

他表示，AI不會取代科研人員，但能夠高效運用AI的研究者，將在未來的科研競爭中占據明顯優勢，正如計算機曾深刻改變科學研究方式，AI也將逐步嵌入科研全過程，成為數據分析、學術協作、論文撰寫、實驗設計及成果驗證等環節的重要方法論工具。

同時，他也呼吁理性看待生成式AI的能力邊界，“大語言模型并非通用人工智能，其輸出仍需經過嚴謹的學術判斷與驗證?！?/p>

寧諾四大維度

推進AI與教育深度融合

近年來，寧諾持續推動人工智能與數字教育的深度融合，致力于構建具有前瞻性與國際視野的教育生態，使學生在扎實掌握專業知識的同時，系統提升數字素養、人工智能應用能力及跨學科創新能力，從容應對智能時代的學術挑戰與職業機遇。

在此過程中，學校全面推進AI技術融入本科人才培養全過程，從平臺建設、課程體系、基礎賦能與專業融合四個維度，全面提升學生的數字素養、AI應用能力及跨學科創新思維。

一是搭建安全便捷的校內AI應用平臺，學校面向學生開放自主建設的UNNC AI平臺，整合包括ChatGPT在內的國內外主流大模型資源，讓學生便捷獲取國際前沿技術支持，并構建開放、合規、穩定的智能學習環境。

二是構建系統化AI通識教育體系，依托學校開發的AI素養課程與引進國際化在線資源，幫助學生熟練掌握核心AI工具并獲得相關認證，切實提升學術與職業發展競爭力。

三是夯實大一學生AI賦能學術能力基礎，在本科第一年由英語語言教學中心開展專項指導，聚焦AI工具在學術研究與論文寫作中的規范運用，引導學生在堅守學術誠信的前提下，借助AI提升文獻檢索、信息整合、學術表達與批判性思維能力。

四是推動專業教學與AI能力深度融合，各專業結合學科特色與行業趨勢，針對性地將人工智能技術融入教育教學全過程，提升學生對AI技術在不同領域中的應用場景與發展方向的理解。

面向未來，學校將繼續依托全球化辦學優勢，深化人工智能與教育、科研的融合創新，持續推動技術創新與教育深度融合，以實際行動引領智能時代的高等教育變革。

UNNC showcases global leadership in AI-driven education at World Digital Education Conference

The University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) and the University of Nottingham (UoN) demonstrated their leadership in artificial intelligence and higher education at the Fourth World Digital Education Conference, one of the highest-level global forums dedicated to the future of digital education, held in Hangzhou from 11–13 May and hosted by China’s Ministry of Education.

Under the theme “AI and Education: Transformation, Development and Governance”, the conference brought together government officials, heads of education authorities, diplomatic representatives in China, delegates from international organisations, presidents of leading universities from China and abroad, experts and scholars in artificial intelligence, and representatives from major enterprises. Together, they explored pathways for AI-driven systemic transformation in education and discussed how to build an inclusive, secure and sustainable global ecosystem for digital education development.

At the conference opening plenary session, Sir Keith O’Nions, Chair of the University Council at the UoN, reaffirmed the university’s commitment to building a people-centred, fair and secure educational ecosystem in partnership with China’s education community. He emphasised that universities must actively embrace and help shape the educational transformation brought about by AI.

Professor Jon Garibaldi, Provost of UNNC, delivered a keynote speech on the transformative role of AI in research and higher education. Drawing on more than three decades of AI research experience, he highlighted how large language models and generative AI are reshaping the global research ecosystem and becoming essential interdisciplinary tools throughout the research process.

Professor Garibaldi stressed that AI will not replace researchers or educators, but that those who are able to use AI effectively will gain significant advantages in both academia and industry. He also underlined the importance of responsible and critical engagement with generative AI technologies, noting that human judgement, academic integrity and rigorous verification remain essential.

The participation of both leaders highlighted how UNNC and UoN are not only responding to the rise of AI, but are also actively integrating it into their long-term educational vision and global strategy.

UNNC has already implemented a series of advanced AI initiatives that position the university at the forefront of AI-enabled education in China and among Sino-foreign universities. In recent years, the university has introduced AI across the entire undergraduate learning journey through four key areas:

?A dedicated UNNC AI platform providing students with secure access to leading global AI models, including ChatGPT, within a stable and compliant learning environment;

?A systematic AI literacy education framework, combining university-developed courses with international online learning resources to strengthen students’ AI competencies and professional competitiveness;

?Specialised first-year academic training delivered by the Centre for English Language Education, guiding students in the ethical and effective use of AI for academic research, writing and critical thinking;

?Deep integration of AI into disciplinary teaching, ensuring that students understand both the practical applications and future development of AI across industries and subject areas.

Through these initiatives, UNNC continues to build a forward-looking educational ecosystem that equips students with the digital literacy, interdisciplinary skills and adaptability needed for the intelligent era.

Looking ahead, UNNC and UoN will continue to deepen the integration of AI in education and research, contributing to the future development of global higher education through innovation, international collaboration and responsible leadership in artificial intelligence.
