TAIPEI, May 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Amidst Taiwan's rapid advancement in the AI sector, driven by its robust semiconductor industry, National Taipei University of Business (NTUB), the region's oldest business institution, is embracing the burgeoning era of intelligence. The university has updated its curriculum and boosted its research capabilities by introducing a range of AI-focused courses. The courses are designed to equip students with cutting-edge international management and leadership skills that closely reflect the latest industry trends.
