What is this event really about? First round table | Professor's perspective: AI is reshaping your profession If you are a business student—preliminary financial analysis, market research, competitor scanning, and basic modeling; these tasks that used to make up most of a graduate's first two years of workload are seeing their marginal costs reaching zero. The session will clarify which tasks in your target position are being automated, which skills are increasing in value, and new directions for business doctoral programs in the AI era. A business background student might work on projects such as using Machine Learning to build financial risk prediction models and analyzing the impact of different market variables on risk changes. If you are an arts or humanities student—the mainstream view suggests that AI first replaces creativity and writing, making humanities the most vulnerable. The reality is quite the opposite: as content production becomes cheaper, what becomes scarce are judgment, taste, ethical boundaries, and cultural context—all products of a humanities education. An art design background student could engage in exploring the applications of smart materials in sustainable product design and validating different solutions through digital design and prototyping. If you are a computer or engineering student—writing code is becoming devalued. The capacity for models is already oversupplied; the real bottleneck lies in implementation: embodied intelligence, edge computing, sensors, energy consumption, materials. The session will discuss specific paths integrating hardware and software, as well as relevant interdisciplinary directions.
