2026年2月22日，匹兹堡中文学校特别邀请到罗博深（Po-Shen Loh）博士为家长们带来题为“AI时代教育与人类未来”的专题讲座。罗博士现任Carnegie Mellon University数学系教授，同时也是企业家，曾多次担任USA International Mathematical Olympiad Team总教练。此次讲座围绕人工智能迅猛发展背景下家庭教育如何与时俱进展开，吸引了众多家长到场聆听，现场气氛热烈，互动交流深入。

罗博深教授首先分享了他对人工智能发展趋势的观察与思考。他指出，人工智能技术正在深刻重塑社会结构与人才需求格局。以知识积累和技能训练为核心的传统教育模式正面临前所未有的转型。当人工智能能够高效完成大量重复性和规则性的工作时，未来社会将更加需要具备同理心、领导力以及良好沟通与协作能力的人才。

结合自身的育儿经历，罗教授谈到，在陪伴孩子成长的过程中，他逐渐体会到，与其单纯追求成绩和排名，不如更加重视激发孩子的学习兴趣和探索精神，培养社会责任感。他认为，教育的意义不应仅停留在追求“个人第一”，而应致力于培养具有社会关怀、能够为社会发展带来积极影响的人才。

在谈到学科教育时，罗教授特别强调了数学思维在未来社会中的重要价值。他指出，数学不仅是一门学科，更是一种严谨而深刻的思维方式。扎实的逻辑能力与抽象思维能力，能够帮助孩子在快速变化的科技环境中保持清晰判断与理性思考，从而在未来社会中建立长期竞争优势。

本次讲座为匹兹堡中文学校的家长们提供了在人工智能高速发展的时代背景下，将来社会需要什么，如何培养的思考。罗博深教授结合专业视角与亲身实践所带来的分享，不仅为家长们提供了新的思考方向，也进一步促进了社区之间的教育交流与合作。

讲座结束后，匹兹堡中文学校董事会成员向罗博士赠送了学校纪念品和鲜花，并与其合影留念，对他带来的精彩分享表示诚挚感谢。

On February 22, 2026, the Pittsburgh Chinese School invited Dr. Po-Shen Loh to deliver a special lecture for parents titled “AI, Math, Education and the Future of Humanity.” Dr. Loh is a professor of mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University, an entrepreneur, and a former head coach of the USA International Mathematical Olympiad Team. The lecture focused on how family education should evolve in response to the rapid development of artificial intelligence. The event attracted many parents, and the atmosphere was lively with active participation and thoughtful discussion.

Dr. Loh began by sharing his observations and reflections on the development of artificial intelligence. He pointed out that AI technology is profoundly reshaping social structures and the landscape of talent demand. Traditional educational models centered on knowledge accumulation and skill training are undergoing an unprecedented transformation. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly capable of efficiently handling repetitive and rule-based tasks, future society will place greater value on individuals who possess empathy, leadership, and strong communication and collaboration skills.

Drawing from his own experiences as a parent, Dr. Loh noted that while accompanying his children through their growth, he has increasingly realized that rather than focusing solely on grades and rankings, it is more important to cultivate children’s curiosity and passion for learning, as well as their sense of social responsibility. He emphasized that the true purpose of education should not be limited to achieving “personal first place,” but rather to nurturing individuals who care about others and can contribute positively to society.

When discussing academic learning, Dr. Loh also highlighted the enduring importance of mathematical thinking in the future. He explained that mathematics is not merely a subject but a rigorous and profound way of thinking. Strong logical reasoning and abstract thinking skills can help children maintain clear judgment and rational thinking in a rapidly changing technological world, thereby giving them a lasting competitive advantage.

This lecture provided parents of the Pittsburgh Chinese School with an opportunity to reflect on what future society will require and how families can better prepare the next generation in the era of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence. Dr. Loh’s insights, drawn from both his professional expertise and personal experience, offered parents new perspectives while also fostering educational dialogue and collaboration within the community.

At the conclusion of the lecture, members of the Pittsburgh Chinese School Board presented Dr. Loh with a commemorative gift and a bouquet of flowers and took a group photo with him to express their sincere appreciation for his inspiring talk.
