(CNA Reporter Wu Chia-hao, Taipei, 19th) Facing geopolitical challenges and the restructuring of the global supply chain, Stan Shih, founder of the computer brand Acer, today proposed the "New WangDao Business Philosophy." Through StanAI, a management consultant built on the GPT model, this philosophy transforms core beliefs such as "creating value, balancing interests, and sustainable management" into a practical management approach for global leaders facing AI and global changes. Shih's StanShih Foundation issued a press release stating that over the past year, while artificial intelligence (AI) has been seen as a significant opportunity to enhance human productivity, create well-being, and upgrade industries, it has also raised concerns about job displacement, loss of governance control, ethical risks, social division, and the weakening of human agency. Stan Shih, a long-time advocate of the WangDao (Kingly Way) business philosophy, has further articulated it as the "New WangDao Business Philosophy," positioning it as the management way for leaders in the 21st century AI era. He said that the most important thing in the AI era is not to get answers faster, but whether leaders can make clearer, more responsible, and more sustainable decisions. The New WangDao hopes to transform the core beliefs of "creating value, balancing interests, and sustainable management" into a practical management approach for 21st-century leaders facing AI and global changes. Shih launched the GPT management consultant A-Dan Global at the end of last year, which has now been renamed StanAI. It serves as the entry point for the AI-ization and internationalization of the New WangDao Business Philosophy. The StanAI 1.1 version introduces the "WangDao Core" as its underlying minimum knowledge base, allowing different language versions and application scenarios to maintain a consistent basis for value judgment. The WangDao Core includes the core beliefs of the New WangDao, total value across six dimensions, leadership decision-making principles, and a value verification framework for the AI era.
