System Dynamics-Based Analysis on Factors Influencing Artificial Intelligence Talents Training

There are gaps between education supply and industrial demand of talents in intelligent era. Thus, the shortage of artificial intelligence(AI) talents becomes the top challenges facing China’s companies. Hence it is essential to implement educational reform to improve quality of education supply talents. However, educational reform is affected by multiple and intertwined factors. This research, therefore, developed a system dynamics-based model of education reform to sort out relationships among all factors and predict the influence of several factors on AI talents output. Then, based on this model, series of experiments are carried out to find main factors affecting cultivation of AI talents. Results show that: 1)this model could accurately simulate trends of output ratio AI talents under different educational reform measures; 2) Measures including teaching mode reform, improving the application rate of new teaching model, speeding up the construction of new disciplines in higher education, developing AI, improving ethics of AI, and strengthening the integration of AI and education could play significant roles in promoting cultivation of AI talents.
