People who are passionate about starting a business often make the mistake of looking at the world from a narrow perspective because they are too focused on their own projects. Many people regard starting a business as their “own child” or “spouse”, but those who do not tolerate others saying anything bad about it and do not use an objective perspective to examine the business often end up in failure; even when reviewing after the game, they do not know why they failed.

There are many suggestions on entrepreneurship and business management in the market, ranging from entrepreneurship financing skills, business management methods to leadership improvement strategies, etc. Before implementing these suggestions, the most important thing is to understand your own position. This “position” is not something you imagine or talk about yourself, but you must first understand the overall market situation and examine and understand yourself from an external perspective.

I cherish every opportunity to participate in different forums and seminars. I can not only understand the development of the industry, but also share my work content and project development with leading companies and industry leaders from all over the world. When participants gather together, they raise the most concerned topics and trends in the market for discussion. The heated debate will definitely open your eyes.

Since OpenAI launched ChatGPT, robots and AI startups have sprung up around the world. The goal of this trip to Europe is to explore the development of Hong Kong’s artificial BroadCast Unitedligence (AI) projects and what stage and position they are in the world; in addition to exchanging experiences with other AI startups, we also want to establish partnerships with leading companies in related fields. The author’s AI project is used in education. Although many people are still struggling with issues such as whether students should be allowed to use AI to learn and whether students will use AI to cheat, we are honored to receive the appreciation of our peers for projects that use AI to assist learning and reflection, and our ideas have been recognized by everyone.

In addition to the application of technology, handling and protecting user privacy will be an important part of the future development of AI projects. During this meeting, we were fortunate to get the opinions of some legal experts who are currently formulating AI privacy regulations for the European Union. Funding is an important issue for this trip. AI or related technology development is the hottest project for investment in various countries today. As a project developer, you need to seek sources of funding outside. Another benefit of going out to participate in meetings is that you can get away from your daily work and experience a completely different pace and way of life. Just like the concept of “Live Like a Local” of the short-term rental platform Airbnb, the author has lived in a local apartment in Paris, France, and went to the supermarket to buy groceries and cook like a local, watched TV news and chatted with neighbors. Although the time was not too long (because I missed my cat at home too much), it did give me a new understanding of work and life.
