CBO创始人杨忠璇博士：AI无法取代品牌 文化原力是企业取得商业成功的关键
Founder of CBO Dr. Vincent Yong: AI cannot replace branding, the cultural force of branding is the key to achieve business success
CBO创始人杨忠璇博士Dr. Vincent Yong 在毕业典礼上发表致词，他表达了对毕业生们的祝贺与鼓励，并强调了CBO品牌在现代世界商业成功中扮演着至关重要的角色，鼓励在场来宾与毕业生们，务必要继续深入研究和探讨品牌学。同时他也表示最近爆红的CHATGBT，让许多人不愿意报名CBO，忽略了教育的重要性。但对他而言，这依然无法取代CBO品牌课程，因为AI 没有文化原力，不明白感性元素。而只要读过CBO课程，使用左右脑思维来与AI沟通，再善用工具互相融合，才能将品牌思维发挥得淋漓尽致。
During the graduation ceremony, Dr. Vincent Yong, the founder of CBO, congratulated and encouraged the graduates while emphasizing the critical role that CBO branding plays in achieving success in modern business. He urged attendees to continue exploring and studying branding, despite the recent popularity of CHATGBT, which has caused some to overlook the importance of education and avoid enrolling in CBO. Dr. Vincent Yong emphasized that AI cannot replace the cultural force and emotional understanding necessary for successful branding. Only through taking the CBO course, utilizing both left and right brain thinking to communicate with AI, and effectively integrating tools, can one fully develop their branding thinking.
