Dean Qi Yudong - Leader’s Speech

The first half of the seminar was chaired by Associate Professor Ju Dong from BNUBS. Professor Zhao Shuming, Honorary Dean of the School of Business at Nanjing University and Dean of the Xingzhi Academy at Nanjing University, and Professor Li Ning, Director of the Department of Leadership and Organizational Management at Tsinghua University, delivered keynote speeches.

Zhao Shuming conducted in-depth discussions on the theme of "Research on Human Resource Data Analysis in the Digital Age". He emphasized the importance of human resource management in the digital economy era, especially in the process of enterprise digital transformation, which must adapt to new management methods and work models. Furthermore, from the perspective of data analysis, he elaborated on the core role of human resource data analysis in future management, including the evaluation of talent value, policy formulation, and other aspects. Li Ning gave a wonderful speech on the topic of "Generative Artificial Intelligence and Organizational Management Research". In his speech, Li Ning proposed three main research directions: the behavior of AI itself, human perception attitudes towards AI, and potential risk points in human-computer interaction. He delved into how AI affects work efficiency and quality, its ability to provide emotional support, and people's perceptions of the differences between AI and humans in this regard, based on his ongoing research.

The second half of the seminar was presided over by Associate Professor Li Ran of BNUBS. Dong Yuntao, Associate Professor of the Guanghua School of Management of Peking University, Liu Songbo, Professor of the School of Labor and Personnel of Renmin University of China, and Qian Jing, Professor of BNUBS made keynote speeches respectively.

Dong Yuntao gave a speech on the theme of "The Development of Gigs in the Age of Algorithms". Dong Yuntao first introduced the development status of the gig economy, explored the academic concept of gig work, and pointed out the problems in the development of the gig work profession. Next, she shared two interview studies on gig work. Dong Yuntao pointed out that gig work fundamentally changes people's perception and choices of career development, which requires us to study the career change paths of gig workers from a longer-term perspective. Professor Liu Songbo deeply discussed the rapid development of AI industry and its urgent demand for talents with the theme of "Thinking on HRM Research from a Macro Perspective: Analysis Report on Talents in China's Artificial Intelligence Industry in 2024". Qian Jing gave a thought-provoking speech on the theme of "AI is here, what can I do?" - the breakthrough path for professionals in the algorithmic era. Qian Jing shared her observations and reflections on self media, interpersonal relationships, career development, and other aspects based on her personal experience. Qian Jing reminded everyone to pay more attention to their own lives and happiness in the era of algorithms, rather than excessively pursuing professional success and learn to love yourself, embrace yourself, and have your own life.

After strict screening and careful preparation, scholars from more than ten domestic and foreign universities, including Beijing Institute of Materials Science and Technology, University of International Business and Economics, Beijing Normal University, Beijing Jiaotong University, Huaqiao University, China Agricultural University, Beijing University of Information Science and Technology, China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing), Capital University of Economics and Business, etc., had in-depth exchanges on the research topic. They not only put forward constructive opinions, but also shared the latest research progress in their respective fields. The fusion and conflict of viewpoints left every scholar present with desires still wanting more.

This seminar is the second "Algorithm Era and Human Computer Integration Management" seminar held at Beijing Normal University. As the initiator and organizer of the conference, BNUBS aims to provide a platform for information sharing and academic exchange among major universities. Through in-depth exchanges between academia and business, exploring new models of human-computer interaction under algorithmic management can help scholars and businesses in this field understand the academic frontier and have the opportunity for further communication. The successful convening of this conference is of great significance for the development of algorithm and interpersonal integration, as well as the construction of the Business Administration discipline at Beijing Normal University. This seminar has received support from relevant units such as East China Economic Management, Beijing Normal University Publishing Group, Workers' Daily, and Huxian.com.
