HKGAI was established in October 2023, focusing on the research and development of generative artificial intelligence technologies. It is one of the research centers under the InnoHK program, a key initiative of the Hong Kong SAR Government. Led by Prof. Yike Guo, the Provost of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, HKGAl collaborates with four local top-tier institutions: The University of Hong Kong, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, City University of Hong Kong, as well as the internationally renowned National University of Singapore. HKGAI focuses on developing a series of Multimodal, Multilingual Foundation Models, vertical Foundation Models, and also the tailor-made applications for Hong Kong society. In addition, HKGAI conducts research on ethics, security, and governance in generative Al technologies and applications, providing consultation and recommendations to the HK SAR Government. HKGAl will strive to enhance the role of Hong Kong's innovation and technology industry in promoting economic progress in the Greater Bay Area, cultivating Al talent and ecosystem in Hong Kong, and increasing Hong Kong's global influence in the fields of Al research and application.
Against the backdrop of the national "14th Five-Year Plan" supporting the construction of Hong Kong as an international innovation and technology center, and the issuance of the "Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Development Blueprint" by the Government of HKSAR, Hong Kong is currently undergoing a top-down wave of scientific and technological innovation. GPTX簡坤投資 and HKGAI will embark on comprehensive and in-depth cooperation in areas such as funds, technology, projects, and intellectual property rights. This cooperation aims to inject new vitality and momentum into the development of Hong Kong's science and technology industry. As the milestone for both parties, it brings broader innovation opportunities, fostering the organic integration of technology and finance, and jointly exploring the boundless possibilities in the future of AI and the financial sector.
