— 2 min read

To comprehensively promote the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education and improve the level of discipline and major construction in undergraduate colleges and universities in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Autonomous Region Education Department has issued the "Action Plan for the Construction of Disciplines and Majors Empowered by Artificial Intelligence in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (2025-2027)" on July 9, 2025. The plan proposes to optimize the layout of AI disciplines and majors, support colleges and universities to actively apply for the first-level discipline of intelligent science and technology, and add AI-related second-level disciplines or disciplines to existing disciplines such as computer science and technology.

Key Takeaways:

  • The action plan aims to comprehensively promote AI to empower higher education and improve the level of discipline and major construction in undergraduate colleges and universities in the region by 2027.
  • By the end of 2027, the region plans to have about 10 new doctoral and master's degree authorization points in the field of artificial intelligence and about 20 undergraduate majors.
  • The plan proposes to launch projects to build about 20 high-quality "artificial intelligence + graduate education" courses, about 50 first-class undergraduate courses in artificial intelligence, and plan about 10 textbooks.
  • The region plans to build an autonomous region college of artificial intelligence and about 3 autonomous region-level modern artificial intelligence industry colleges, constructing an artificial intelligence education ecosystem with the three-in-one "discipline major - course textbooks - integration of industry and education".
  • The plan supports colleges and universities to reasonably add AI, intelligent measurement and control engineering, robotics engineering and other related majors, and promote the cross-integration and development of AI with other disciplines and majors.
  • The region aims to cultivate first-class AI high-quality talents and promote the empowerment transformation of traditional disciplines and majors by AI to support the development of the region.

Statistics:

  • By 2027, the region aims to have about 10 new doctoral and master's degree authorization points in the field of artificial intelligence.
  • About 20 undergraduate majors will be added in the field of artificial intelligence.
  • The annual training scale of AI related personnel will be over 1,000 people.
  • The region plans to launch projects to build about 20 high-quality "artificial intelligence + graduate education" courses, about 50 first-class undergraduate courses in artificial intelligence, and plan about 10 textbooks.
  • The region will build an autonomous region college of artificial intelligence and about 3 autonomous region-level modern artificial intelligence industry colleges.
