In 2026, using AI and working across disciplines has become a part of everyday life, making the cultivation of a "slash" (multidisciplinary) ability in AI usage a major trend. The Master's Program in Global Communication and Innovation Technology (GCIT) at National Chengchi University held a professional advising session on March 9. Distinguished Professor Trisha Lin, Director of GCIT, specially invited Nicky Hsieh, Director of the New Media Entertainment Association (NMEA), the Digital Marketing Association (DMA), and Asiahub New Media Summit Curator to share her practical experience using AI at work and to explore how to leverage AI to enhance cross-disciplinary capabilities.

During the lecture, Nicky Hsieh emphasized, "We should use AI to survive and save more time." She cited her own experience as an example: treating AI as a "personal assistant" means writing an article might take only 30 minutes. She also noted, "Currently, we lack immediate strategies to cope with AI because its evolution is extremely rapid." Therefore, she encouraged students to utilize AI to thrive in this fast-paced era, rather than being replaced by it.

In addition to sharing concepts, Nicky Hsieh demonstrated how to use NotebookLM, giving students a practical opportunity to observe. Taking data collection as an example, she asked NotebookLM to organize relevant academic articles by GCIT Director Trisha Lin on the spot and briefly introduce her research themes and directions. Nicky Hsieh showed the students a deck she had created with the tool and offered them a new option for their future AI toolkit.

During the Q&A, a student asked, "When using AI, how should we resolve concerns about generating incorrect information?" In response, Nicky Hsieh not only emphasized the importance of using one's own critical thinking to carefully verify all information, but she also suggested that students could use different AI models to cross-reference with one another. For example, leveraging the interaction between Gemini and ChatGPT can help filter out incorrect knowledge and information.

At the end of the session, after answering the enthusiastic questions from the participating GCIT students, Nicky Hsieh encouraged the attendees to maintain their critical thinking skills when using AI. She expressed her hope that GCIT students will utilize AI to acquire new knowledge and to generate and implement more innovative ideas.
