The National Academy of Artificial Intelligence (NAAI) would like to express its sincerest gratitude to Mr. Shuo Yen Robert Li, an internationally renowned scholar, Honorary Professor of Information Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and IEEE Lifetime Fellow, for this article! On the occasion of the first anniversary of NAAI's establishment, your insightful congratulatory letter reveals the magnificent vision of artificial intelligence development with the depth of history and global perspective, and injects the driving force for our institute to move forward with the insight of an academic leader.
In your congratulatory letter, you traced the transition of artificial intelligence from the early exploration of the "DOS era" to groundbreaking achievements such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek today, and specifically mentioned your pioneering practice of creating poetry through machine learning in 1991. This "AI narrative" spanning over thirty years is not only a precise condensation of the technological evolution, but also a profound response to NAAI's mission of "leading the new industrial revolution". You praised our institute as "full of foresight" and look forward to its promotion of leapfrog progress in human civilization, which greatly inspires all colleagues - only by taking history as a mirror and innovation as an anchor can we live up to the heavy trust entrusted by the times.
As a pioneer in the field of computer science, Professor Shuo Yen Robert Li has devoted his life to information theory and technological innovation. Your academic achievements and international influence have set a benchmark for the global AI community. The "AI driven industrial revolution" you emphasized coincides with NAAI's vision of "breaking boundaries and empowering the future". In the future, we look forward to deepening cooperation with you and top institutions such as The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and jointly climbing to new heights in the fields of intelligent algorithms, interdisciplinary integration, and technological ethics, making AI truly the engine for the leap of human civilization.
Finally, thank you again for your encouragement and expectations towards NAAI! May we work together with the light of wisdom to penetrate the unknown mist and jointly write a new era of artificial intelligence.
