During the lecture, Prof Ni introduced the basic concepts and principles of Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content (AIGC) and elaborated on its profound impact across various industries, especially its enormous potential in education, which can make it more flexible and personalised.

He also mentioned AIGC's current limitations and risks while projecting its future development. He encouraged the audience to adjust to the tide of AI critically, discover more possibilities, and take it as a tool to promote educational innovation and development.

A Q&A session was arranged, where Prof Ni answered questions raised by UIC's faculty and students on the application of AIGC in teaching and the opportunities that it will bring.

        在讲座中，倪教授深入浅出地介绍了人工智能生成内容（AIGC）的基本概念与原理，阐述AIGC对各行各业产生的深远影响。他强调AIGC在教育领域的巨大潜力，并通过生动的案例让在场的师生深刻感受到人工智能如何为教育带来前所未有的灵活性和个性化体验。 

        如何更好地利用AIGC来提高教育质量和效率，倪教授建议，学校应加强对AIGC的培训和教育，使师生都能够更好地了解和使用这一技术，并且利用它开发出更加智能化的教学工具和资源，从而提高教学效果和效率。倪教授分享了一些教育领域应用案例，如利用AIGC技术开发智能辅导机器人、虚拟实验室和仿真课程等，可为学生提供个性化的辅导，以及在虚拟环境中进行实验和实践操作。

        倪教授表示，未来教育将呈现出更加智能化、个性化和多元化的趋势。他鼓励师生积极拥抱人工智能，共同推动教育的创新与发展，同时也应考虑到AIGC存在的局限性和潜在风险，制定合理的使用规则。

        在交流互动环节，师生就在AI时代如何激发学生的创新能力等问题踊跃提问。倪教授表示，教育的目的不仅是传授知识，更重要的是引导学生将知识内化为自己的智慧和能力，他建议教师善用AI工具，积极改变教学方式和对学生的评估方法。
