In recent years, the spotlight has increasingly turned to generative AI. Through testing, it's been established that ChatGPT can respond to questions within specialized domains. However, users still need to possess professional knowledge to comprehend and utilize the recommendations provided by ChatGPT.
President of Taiwan Tech, Jia-Yush Yen, believes that the impact of AI, especially in terms of altering higher education curricula and teaching methodologies through generative AI, is currently premature. Nonetheless, President Yen points out that students should first establish a solid foundation of fundamental knowledge and then proceed to learn more advanced, integrated programming, and emerging technologies.
President Yen candidly states that new technologies emerge every 5 to 10 years, often replacing existing ones. As a result, students should maintain a mindset of continuous learning and staying up-to-date to navigate the boundless expanse of knowledge.
