Algorithms, he elucidated, are not enigmatic constructs but efficient problem-solving methodologies derived from human interactions. Delving further, he explored the significance of supervised learning and adversarial generative learning in artificial intelligence.

Drawing on the principles of "invariant," "simplicity," and "variability," he demonstrated how algorithms shape decision-making and foster societal development.

The lecture, as a part of the Grand Union of Innovation Frontier Dialogue, instilled a deeper comprehension of artificial intelligence among attendees, positioning it as a pivotal tool amidst industrial changes.

Professor Xiong's event, as the 11th edition of the dialogue, offers a compelling glimpse into the future of artificial intelligence and its transformative potential across industries.

The interdisciplinary nature of the discourse sparked interest in the integration of artificial intelligence with societal, cultural, and humanistic considerations.

The dialogue, organized by GUi and committed to exploring the frontline of technologies, aims to become a public square to bolster industrial growth and development in the intelligence sphere.
