On October 29, 2026, the Faculty of Business Administration (FBA), Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU), successfully organized the workshop “AI At Work – Can You Resolve a Real Problem with AI?” with the participation of three distinguished international speakers and hundreds of students. The event provided students with opportunities to gain practical knowledge, foster innovative thinking, and explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be applied to addressing real-world business challenges.

The workshop featured three speakers from Curtin Singapore and the international business community:

• Prof. Alex Stojcevski – Pro Vice-Chancellor and President of Curtin Singapore.

• Mr. Stephan Stojcevski – Founder and Global CEO of Cloak Solutions Pte. Ltd.

• Dr. Chris Dinh – Lecturer at Curtin Singapore.

Bringing together perspectives from international higher education and real-world business management, the three speakers offered valuable insights into the potential of AI applications in modern workplaces and business operations.

Through the speakers' practical insights and professional experiences, students had the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge about AI-driven thinking and its application in solving business challenges. Beyond helping students better understand the potential of Artificial Intelligence in business operations, the discussions introduced new perspectives on integrating professional knowledge, analytical capabilities, and technology to develop appropriate solutions. The workshop thereby enhanced students' awareness of AI's growing role in the modern workplace while encouraging proactive learning and continuous skills development in the digital age.

The speakers introduce approaches to applying AI in solving real-world business problems.

Beyond theoretical knowledge, the workshop provided students with opportunities to apply what they had learned through activities involving the analysis and resolution of simulated business scenarios. Throughout these activities, students were encouraged to demonstrate creative thinking, strengthen their analytical and problem-solving skills, and proactively propose and present their ideas and solutions to the speakers. This hands-on experience not only reinforced their professional knowledge but also helped develop critical thinking, practical application skills, and confidence in presenting their perspectives.

The speakers engage in discussions with students on the given business scenarios.

Students present their ideas and proposed solutions to address the assigned challenges.

In addition to the practical activities, the interactive question-and-answer (Q&A) session also attracted considerable interest from students. Their questions created opportunities for direct engagement with the speakers, allowing participants to gain further insights and a deeper understanding of how AI can be applied in practice. The combination of expert knowledge-sharing, hands-on activities, and interactive discussions made the workshop both academically enriching and engaging, offering students a meaningful learning experience.

Students actively exchange ideas and raise questions during the Q&A session.

The workshop successfully concluded with valuable new knowledge and practical experiences shared with students. Through its knowledge-sharing and hands-on activities, the event not only helped bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world practice but also encouraged students to proactively explore and apply technology while continuously developing their competencies. It also provided an opportunity for students to better prepare themselves for the evolving demands of the business environment in the era of Artificial Intelligence.
