2.      To reinforce the creativity, flexibility, humanity which AI is lack of, we can offer better to the world on the culture-cultivation education basis.

Reflections

This meeting was authentic and informative meetings, which we learned from Host’s presentation and the participants’ contributions. It was a pity, though. with the time constraint, Clark did not share much about his previous guided tours on Germany Industry 4.0 in the related Exhibitions and Factory-visit. Therefore, he promised to hold Part II next April, which we can highly expect and recommend. All in all, everyone enjoyed the meeting very much and look forward to his next meeting soon.
