Besides being a renowned scholar, Prof. Huang is the author of the best-seller “Edge: Turning Adversity into Advantage” and an expert consultant for enterprises in turning adversities into advantages. After her speech explaining how AI can be combined with humanities and applied to cross-domain learning, experts from academia and industry were invited to participate in a forum named “Flipped Education in the AI era x Humanistic innovation and industrial upgrading”. The insightful analysis and discussions with in-depth critical thinking brought a shining highlight to the forum. The forum was participated by over 200 people, including panelists Management College Dean Horng-Ji Chen, Academic Affairs Dean Hao-Hsui Chiu, FCC Partners President CY Huang, and Tunghai Placement and Alumni Office Director Ching-Tsorng Tsai.

 

 

President Mao-Jiun Wang said that Tunghai University, with its profound cultural heritage, has been emphasizing liberal arts and cross-domain learning. In recent years, due to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) applications, flipping education to cultivate students with competitive strength in the workplace has also become a major goal of the University. The speech and sharing of ideas and practical experiences in teaching, research, and industry by Professor Huang would greatly inspire our students in AI cross-domain learning.
