Bringing together leading scholars and experts from around the world to explore the latest advances in Quantum AI for medicine, life sciences, and longevity technologies

AU President Jeffrey J.P. Tsai emphasizes the university’s commitment to advancing quantum biomedical research and smart health innovation

The "International Symposium on Quantum AI and the Future of Life 2025" was held on November 13–14 at Asia University (AU), bringing together top scholars and experts from the fields of artificial intelligence, quantum technology, biomedical sciences, and traditional Chinese medicine. The conference explored the latest developments of Quantum AI (QAI) in medical care, life sciences, and longevity technology.

Deputy Minister of Education Kuo-Wei Liu praised Asia University during the opening ceremony for its leadership in AI, biomedical innovation, and quantum technology—especially its achievements in interdisciplinary integration, industry collaboration, and global partnership. He emphasized that the government’s new “3+3 Strategy” aims to produce at least three Nobel Prize laureates in physics, chemistry, and biomedical sciences in the next 30 years, noting that biomedical science has become one of Taiwan’s mos...

AU President Jeffrey J.P. Tsai stated that the symposium brings together leading experts from academia, industry, and government to explore one of the most exciting scientific frontiers—Quantum Artificial Intelligence. QAI merges quantum information theory with intelligent computation, utilizing quantum principles such as superposition and entanglement to process information in ways impossible for classical systems. Many complex challenges—drug design, molecular simulation, natural disaster modelin...

Prof. Sheng-Teng Huang of China Medical University examined traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) from a systems-science perspective, explaining how ancient TCM knowledge can be modernized and integrated with QAI to expand scientific understanding and medical applications.

Two keynote panel forums were chaired by Academia Sinica Academicians Prof. Kang-Lung Wang and Prof. Chao-Kung Lin, focusing on QAI's role in disease prediction, biomedical imaging, personalized health, TCM diagnostics, and East-West medical integration. Prof. Wang noted that AU and China Medical University, as part of the CMU–AU System, have major opportunities for interdisciplinary medical innovation. Prof. Lin shared insights from his internationally recognized research on acupuncture ane...

President Tsai concluded that the symposium demonstrates AU’s growing strength in smart health and quantum research, while also strengthening collaborations with Harvard Medical School, UCLA, Pfizer, IBM, and other global institutions. AU will continue advancing its “AI + Quantum + Healthcare” strategic framework to contribute to global health and human longevity.
