HKU Business School recognised for its excellence in business education with AACSB re-accreditation

HKU Business School has been dedicated to providing quality business education and advancing the knowledge frontiers. The recent re-accreditation by AACSB International (AACSB) for another five years represents international recognition of our on-going efforts to improve in all aspects.

AACSB specifically endorsed the School’s remarkable achievement in research and publications and the robust mechanism in ensuring quality teaching and learning. It also reaffirmed that the School has forged strong alliances, partnerships and collaborations with top universities around the world, becoming one of the top business schools in the region in just 20 years of establishment.

Leveraging on our deep root in Hong Kong, we have been fostering amicable connections with the business community in both Hong Kong and Greater Bay Area, creating more opportunities for its students. In addition to a strong governance system and a good track record, AACSB highlighted that HKU Business School has a sound strategic plan that all stakeholders are engaged and involved. Going forward, we are committed to developing ourselves into a world leading expert hub for data analytics, machine learning and digital transformation and a regional expert on finance, economics and business trends.

HKU Business School was first accredited by AACSB in 2010 and was re-accredited in 2015. The School’s attainment of the accreditation has demonstrated its commitment to maintaining best practices and world-class quality business education.

Founded in 1916, AACSB is the longest serving global accrediting body for business schools. AACSB accreditation represents an achievement of excellence in business education. Today, a total of 882 institutions across 57 countries and territories have earned AACSB accreditation in business.

HKU Business School Releases a Comprehensive Evaluation Report on the Image-Generation Capabilities of AI Models
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.

AI Image Generation Evaluation Results Released: ByteDance and Baidu Perform Well, DeepSeek Janus-Pro Falls Short
The frontier of AI models has evolved beyond text processing to encompass the ability to understand and generate visual content. These models not only comprehend images but also generate visual content based on textual prompts. This study presents a systematic evaluation of the image generation capabilities of AI models, focusing on two core tasks: generating new images and revising existing images. Using carefully curated multidimensional test sets, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation of 22 AI models with image generation capabilities, including 15 text-to-image models and 7 multimodal large language models. The results show that ByteDance’s Dreamina and Doubao, as well as Baidu’s ERNIE Bot, demonstrate impressive performance in both new image generation and image revision tasks. Overall, multimodal large language models deliver superior performance compared to text-to-image models.
