在 Otis 的 “Made to Move Communities” 全球竞赛中，学生将应用人工智能来实现更具包容性和可持续性的出行解决方案。
FARMINGTON, Conn., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the speed, accuracy and scale at which complex challenges are addressed. Over the next several months, more than 250 students from dozens of schools representing more than 15 countries and territories around the world will participate in the Made to Move Communities challenge to propose innovative ways AI can improve urban mobility. They'll be guided by volunteer mentors from Otis (NYSE: OTIS), the world's leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation and service company.
康涅狄格州法明顿，2024年9月10日 /PRNewswire/ — 人工智能正在彻底改变应对复杂挑战的速度、准确性和规模。在接下来的几个月中，来自全球超过15个国家和地区的数十所学校的250多名学生将参加 “Made to Move Communities” 挑战赛，提出人工智能改善城市交通的创新方法。他们将由来自世界领先的电梯和自动扶梯制造、安装和服务公司奥的斯（纽约证券交易所代码：OTIS）的志愿导师指导。
"We believe that the next generation of innovation will use AI to make moving in and around cities easier and more efficient for all," said Randi Tanguay, Otis Senior Vice President & Chief Communications Officer. "Today's students are growing up as AI technology matures. They are actively engaged and quickly developing the skills to effectively use and apply it. With their innate curiosity and imagination, combined with the guidance of expert Otis volunteer mentors, I can't wait to see the solutions these students come up with."
奥的斯高级副总裁兼首席传播官兰迪·坦瓜伊表示：“我们相信，下一代创新将利用人工智能让所有人更轻松、更高效地在城市内外出行。”“随着人工智能技术的成熟，当今的学生正在成长。他们积极参与，并迅速发展有效使用和应用技能的技能。凭借他们与生俱来的好奇心和想象力，再加上奥的斯志愿者导师的指导，我迫不及待地想出这些学生想出的解决方案。”
Why AI
为什么选择人工智能
According to the World Bank, more than 56% of the world population currently lives in cities, and that number is expected to grow to nearly 70% by 2050. The current pace of rapid urbanization and global population growth has the potential to strain urban infrastructure, resulting in increased congestion, pollution, and inadequate public transit. These challenges can be even more acute in underserved neighborhoods and for people with special needs.
根据世界银行的数据，目前超过56％的世界人口生活在城市中，预计到2050年这一数字将增长到近70％。当前的快速城市化和全球人口增长的步伐有可能给城市基础设施带来压力，导致交通拥堵、污染加剧和公共交通不足。在服务不足的社区和有特殊需求的人群中，这些挑战可能更加严峻。
"AI is already reshaping transportation. It's enabling self-driving cars, optimizing traffic flows, and even helping drones deliver packages and medicines to those in need," said Ezhil Nanjappan, Otis Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. "As we stand on the brink of the AI revolution, I'm excited to bring this transformational technology to the Made to Move Communities program – to brainstorm solutions to the mobility issues of today and tomorrow, while inspiring young minds and helping to close the STEM skills gap."
“人工智能已经在重塑交通。它为自动驾驶汽车提供了支持，优化了交通流量，甚至帮助无人机向有需要的人运送包裹和药品。” 奥的斯高级副总裁兼首席技术官埃齐尔·南贾潘说。“当我们处于人工智能革命的边缘时，我很高兴将这项变革性技术带入 “Made to Move Communities” 计划——集思广益，解决当今和未来的出行问题，同时激励年轻人并帮助缩小STEM技能差距。”
For the first time – a global winner
首次 — 全球赢家
Since 2020, Otis' annual Made to Move Communities global student competition has engaged over 750 students and hundreds of Otis colleagues with the goal of addressing urban mobility challenges while sparking a lifelong interest in STEM. Participating schools have received nearly $1 million (USD) in grants from Otis to further STEM learning and programs in their schools.
自2020年以来，奥的斯一年一度的 “移动社区” 全球学生竞赛吸引了750多名学生和数百名奥的斯同事，目标是应对城市交通挑战，同时激发人们对STEM的终身兴趣。参与的学校已经从奥的斯获得了近100万美元（美元）的资助，用于在学校进一步开展STEM学习和项目。
Until now, students used to compete regionally, with a winning team selected in each of the four Otis regions. This year, for the first time, the four regional winning teams will compete in a final round to determine a global team champion. Student teams will need to share how their solutions to local challenges can be scaled globally, and the global team champion will receive an additional grant for their school.
到目前为止，学生们经常参加区域比赛，在四个奥的斯地区各选出一支获胜的队伍。今年，四支地区获胜队伍将首次进入最后一轮比赛，以确定全球团体冠军。学生团队将需要分享他们应对当地挑战的解决方案如何在全球范围内扩展，而全球团队冠军将获得额外的学校补助金。
