Abstract:Artificial intelligence has been widely concerned by scientists and the public since it came into being. With the updating and upgrading of computers,data and algorithms,artificial intelligence was continuously developed and widely applied in all walks of life. According to the characteristics and main production processes of the metallurgical industry,the precise management and control of the metallurgical industry can be realized by artificial intelligence on the basis of the information infrastructure of the metallurgical industry. The renovation aspects include building a metallurgical artificial intelligence ecological environment;transforming and improving the industrial Internet;data collection,screening,accumulation,analysis and data cloud construction;innovation and application of digital instrument in metallurgical industry;artificial intelligence modeling and algorithm research in metallurgical industry;the use of unmanned workshops and robots and so on. The problems of artificial intelligence in the transformation of metallurgical industry are pointed out. It is proposed that the most fundamental to realize the transformation of metallurgical industry is to create an ecological environment of artificial intelligence;pay attention to the basic theory of artificial intelligence research and professional talent training;realize cross-border cooperation and the combination of industry,education and research;selecte and accumulate data more effectively with basic theory and scientific knowledge;promote the development of application field and the reform of metallurgical industry.
