Dean, School of Business
Qing Hu has devoted over three decades to research on the transformative impact of information technology on competitive strategies, business processes, and human behavior. His journey in this field began during his doctoral studies in the early 1990s, where he explored the potential of artificial intelligence, particularly artificial neural networks — the foundation of generative AI today, to revolutionize business decision-making. In recent years, leveraging his position as a business school dean, he has emerged as a passionate advocate for the integration of AI into education curricula. He is committed to preparing an AI-empowered workforce capable of not only meeting but embracing the challenges and opportunities presented by the AI-driven Fourth Industrial Revolution, and ensuring that the next generation of organizational leaders is well-equipped to navigate and shape the AI-transformed world.
