The power of AI
To imagine modern technology without artificial intelligence would not make much sense. Therefore, Dr. Dejian Liu, the company’s founder, emphasises the significance of this spurt in the business.
According to Dr. Dejian Liu, “We believe AI is the future of corporate management. Our appointment of Ms. Tang Yu represents our commitment to truly embrace the use of AI to transform the way we run our business and ultimately drive our future strategic growth.”
