"I didn’t expect to make money by throwing garbage, which is both environmentally friendly and affordable." On August 4th, in Vanke Emerald Riverside Community, Hanyang District, Wuhan, Mr. Li, a resident, threw a bag of plastic bottles into the garbage intelligent recycling machine.

Cartons, beverage bottles, cans, used books and newspapers at home were mostly thrown into the trash can in the past, but now they have a better "home": an intelligent garbage collector that loves sorting and recycling.

Intelligent weighing and settlement, 24-hour voting.

The recycling machine with simple shape is full of internal science and technology. Fully intelligent in delivery, weighing and settlement, and can receive recyclable garbage such as paper, metal, plastic and fabric.

"I heard that there is this recycling machine downstairs, so I came to try it." Ms. Tang held several books and led the children to put them in. I saw that after the mobile phone scanned the code, the door of the recycling machine automatically opened. After Ms. Tang put the book in, the recycling machine automatically weighed it, which showed that "the amount available for this delivery of 4.68 kilograms was 4.68 yuan".

Jiang Pan Cheng, the person in charge of the operation of "Love Classification and Love Recycling", said: "The recyclable materials put by residents can be paid into personal accounts according to 1 yuan /kg points, and cash can be withdrawn when they are in 10 yuan."

What if residents throw in dry and wet garbage by mistake? According to the staff, in order to standardize residents’ delivery behavior, there are high-definition cameras inside and outside the machine to take photos and videos of delivery behaviors and items, and conduct AI analysis on photos. If illegal delivery is found, the customer service will remind and guide the user and deduct points from the illegal user.

"The recycling machine can scan the code on WeChat or enter the mobile phone number, which is convenient for the elderly who can’t use smart phones and can be put in 24 hours." Jiang Pan Cheng said.

Ms. Tang said, "It’s very convenient to take the garbage when you go downstairs, without having to make an appointment for the recycler to come to the door, and without worrying about’ short weight’."

Turning waste into treasure, saving energy and reducing emissions

"This method will help to enhance the enthusiasm of residents for garbage sorting, improve the littering and stacking in corridors, and make the community environment cleaner and more beautiful." The staff of the residential property said that in order to facilitate the delivery of more residents, they took an explanation video with their mobile phones and sent it to the owners’ group, and everyone praised it.

After the recycling machine is delivered to full capacity, the background system will receive the information of Man Cang, and according to the real-time operation status, vehicle positioning, traffic conditions and other information, send a bill to the appropriate cleaning staff, and automatically plan a quick cleaning route for the cleaning staff. Each recyclable package is also attached with a QR code to support source traceability.

Where are the recyclables delivered by residents?

According to Jiang Pancheng, recyclables will be finely sorted according to different categories at the end, and then enter the corresponding renewable resource processing and utilization enterprises. After recycling, they will be turned into umbrellas, T-shirts, handbags and other items.

In January this year, the National Development and Reform Commission’s Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Recycling System of Waste Materials proposed: improve the informationization level of waste materials recycling industry. Carry out the "internet plus Recycling" model to support the development of the network recycling platform for waste materials.

"By separating recyclables from domestic garbage, more than one-third of garbage can be reduced, so that renewable resources can be used to the best and carbon emissions can be reduced." Jiang Pan Cheng said.

At present, the first batch of pilot projects in Hanyang District put 12 sets of intelligent recycling machines, covering 6 streets. It is estimated that more than 500 sets will be put into operation in Wuhan this year.

CCTV News:Under the wave of digitalization and intelligence, artificial intelligence, that is, AI, has penetrated into many aspects of our lives and has become an important direction of future industrial development. To this end, many colleges and universities in China not only set up specialties and colleges related to artificial intelligence, but also keep up with the needs of the industry and actively promote the cultivation of cross-border talents combining artificial intelligence with other disciplines.

Harbin Institute of Technology is one of the earliest universities in China to carry out research in the field of artificial intelligence. In order to strengthen the training of relevant talents, in 2019, Harbin Institute of Technology set up an artificial intelligence major, and this year it further established an artificial intelligence college.

According to the training plan, in the College of Artificial Intelligence, the first and second academic years of undergraduates mainly focus on strengthening basic courses related to artificial intelligence, and the third academic year is classified and trained according to personal growth needs, which is divided into three directions: AI technology, AI system and AI application, and the fourth academic year is personalized and independent development.

In a laboratory of the School of Artificial Intelligence of Harbin Institute of Technology, students from different R&D groups are experimenting with their own topics, such as robots, robot dogs and robot cars, which are also the teaching processes that every undergraduate will experience.

The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, began enrolling students in its artificial intelligence major in 2019.

The teacher in charge of teaching told us that the traditional computer major courses are more inclined to the underlying operating system and compilation principles, while the artificial intelligence major pays more attention to the application of interdisciplinary subjects and the interactive behavior related to people, so it has higher requirements for mathematics.

As a hot subject focused on the development of various countries at present and in the future, the major related to artificial intelligence is undoubtedly very attractive to candidates, but whether to apply for the exam needs to be combined with their own actual situation.

Talent gap, high skill requirements, high salary in artificial intelligence industry.

Due to the strong development momentum of artificial intelligence related industries, the demand for talents by enterprises in related fields continues to rise, and the monthly salary of some popular positions even exceeds 20,000 yuan this year.

In an artificial intelligence laboratory in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, not only on-the-job engineers, but also many college students participate in project research and development and innovation. The person in charge of the laboratory voice team told the reporter that with the wider application scenarios of general artificial intelligence, more and more professional backgrounds of talents are needed. Therefore, the laboratory has strengthened cooperation with universities, providing internship opportunities for students majoring in computer, electronic information engineering, data science and other related majors, and enabling more new forces to empower the development of the laboratory.

In a cyber security technology research and development enterprise in Harbin, Heilongjiang, the person in charge of human resources said that at present, enterprises especially need practical talents with innovative ability. Therefore, the demand for recruitment of students with professional backgrounds such as artificial intelligence, big data and big models continues to rise.

The data shows that in the first quarter of this year, the demand for employment in artificial intelligence-related industries continued to rise. Among them, the number of recruitment positions for natural language processing engineers increased by 126% year-on-year, and the average monthly salary for recruitment reached 24,535 yuan, up by 12% year-on-year.

The hot market in the job market has also made the popularity of artificial intelligence-related majors continue to climb. Among them, software engineering and computer science and technology have been shortlisted as "Top 10 Hot Majors" for many years, and the employment salary of graduates has also remained at a high level; Graduates with professional backgrounds such as data science and big data technology are popular in many industries such as the Internet and finance, ranking fourth in the monthly income ranking of undergraduates in 2023, with employment satisfaction reaching 79%; Internet of Things Engineering and other related majors provide a broad employment direction for graduates because they cover hardware equipment, software development, network architecture and other aspects, and the employment satisfaction of the 2023 undergraduate graduates of this major has also reached 75%.
