Press Release

To foster the bonding between the School Alumni and to allow Undergraduate Students to receive impactful insights in their career exploration journey. The HKU Business School hosted its first-ever UG Students and Alumni Mixer event at the HKU iCube on March 6, 2025. This event, jointly organised by the School’s Undergraduate Student Enrichment and the Development and Alumni Team, brought together esteemed alumni in diverse industries and current undergraduate students across 11 majors for an evening of networking, knowledge sharing, and mentorship.

HKU Business School released a Comprehensive Evaluation Report on the Image Generation Capabilities of Artificial Intelligence Models, providing a systematic assessment of 15 text-to-image models and 7 multimodal large language models (LLMs). The results showed that ByteDance’s Dreamina and Doubao, as well as Baidu’s ERNIE Bot ranked among the top performers in terms of image content quality for new-image generation and image revision. However, despite DeepSeek having attracted global attention, its newly released text-to-image model, Janus-Pro, did not perform as well in new-image generation. HKU Business School researchers also found that while some text-to-image models excelled in content quality, their performance in safety and responsibility was significantly lacking. In general, multimodal LLMs demonstrated better overall performance compared to text-to-image models.
