The world’s top and annual World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) officially opened at the main venue in Shanghai on July 8. This year, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park Corporation became the organizer of the first Hong Kong branch and was held at the Hong Kong Science Park. It is a great affirmation of the development of artificial intelligence in Hong Kong!

In addition to sub-venues and forums, there was also an exhibition of artificial intelligence and robotics technology solutions from various technology companies and universities and colleges, bringing together top talents in the industry and communicating with each other on the platform provided by the Science Park, fully demonstrating Hong Kong’s scientific research capabilities. Promote cooperation from all walks of life.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence Hong Kong has talents and scientific research advantages

In the past few years, science and technology have developed rapidly. There are as many as 200 artificial intelligence companies stationed in the Science Park. With the support of the government, the scale of development of artificial intelligence in Hong Kong has continued to expand, which is very helpful to the scientific research process.

Several keynote speeches were held in the Hong Kong branch this time, which were supported by the Chief Executive, many government officials, academic leaders and industry leaders. They exchanged and shared ideas, technologies, talents, applications, and funds on AI innovation, and promoted the regional level. Work together to cultivate more innovation and technology talents and work together to build a world-class AI ecosystem in Hong Kong.

The Science Park hosts the first Hong Kong branch of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference.

Dr. Huo Luming (Crystal), Director of STP Platform, Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Company, believes that Hong Kong’s selection as the sub-venue of the World Artificial Intelligence Summit can exert its unique effects: it not only absorbs overseas innovative technology, but also helps to integrate domestic scientific research. The results spread.

"The atmosphere of using artificial intelligence in Hong Kong is becoming stronger and stronger. It is not only the transformation of financial technology, but also the more traditional industries such as logistics and construction. The application of artificial intelligence is also becoming more and more extensive. The application atmosphere has led to another peak.” Crystal also pointed out that the Science Park has continuously improved its infrastructure and assisted the industry in sharing data by providing different supporting facilities, helping start-ups to develop and test new solutions.

At the same time, the Science Park has also become a platform for enterprises to exchange and share scientific research results, and promote close communication and cooperation between talents.

As one of the AI ​​unicorns, SenseTime, the general manager of its Hong Kong and Macau companies, Mr. Shang Hailong, mentioned that there are quite a lot of talents in innovation and technology in Hong Kong, and local colleges and universities have begun to provide students with different scientific research specialties in talent training. At the same time, contact with artificial intelligence applications, so that artificial intelligence technology can be integrated into different scientific research levels.

"I really appreciate that Hong Kong colleges and universities take the lead in advocating this concept, so that students of different specialties can think about how to use artificial intelligence to improve the effects of science and technology? As practitioners, we must constantly lower the threshold for using AI and make AI applications more and more. Simple and more convenient."

There was also Lin Zhenting, a member of the 2019 Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union Robotics Competition and a graduate of Chinese University.

As a freshman in the workplace who just entered the innovation and technology industry, he said that he chose to do scientific research because he wanted to help people, so as to design better quality and convenient life robots, so that technology can be integrated into life.

"Scientific research is a process of excellence. Sometimes due to insufficient data, the accuracy of innovation and technology is not high enough, or other restrictions are derived, but we must continue to think about solutions without reducing our self-requirements and do a good job every time. One case benefits the public.” Let artificial intelligence become a tool that facilitates human life and improves work efficiency. At the same time, it must be applied to different types of work, which can save time and cost, and it is necessary to maintain professionalism in all walks of life.

Two universities join the global university artificial intelligence academic alliance to strengthen technical exchanges between Shanghai and Hong Kong universities

On the day of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, the University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology also formally joined the Global Artificial Intelligence Academic Alliance of Universities, and connected to the main venue in Shanghai, and the signing ceremony was held simultaneously, which means that more research and technical exchanges between the academic circles of Shanghai and Hong Kong will be carried out in the future. .

In addition, the Hong Kong branch venue also has a number of displays related to artificial intelligence and robotics technology, and the park companies and local colleges and universities share their innovative ideas and research and development results.

It must be mentioned that Hong Kong's tertiary institutions have been committed to developing a variety of new artificial intelligence products.

For example, the "Kuafu" unmanned vehicle developed by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is equipped with integrated multi-sensing and AI technology, and has an autonomous driving navigation system that can safely and stably deliver goods to different locations, helping to achieve a new era of intelligent logistics.

Lingnan University has also developed an intelligent ultraviolet disinfection robot, equipped with optical radar, which can perform laser map mapping in different places, scan nearby terrain and obstacles, and plan disinfection routes. It is especially suitable for schools, institutions, libraries and Large-scale places such as sports venues are disinfected.

With the joint efforts of academia and industry, while training talents, while devoting to research and development and improvement of technology, artificial intelligence will develop faster, have more applications, and make it more convenient for the public.

The "Kuafu" unmanned vehicle developed by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology was exhibited at the first Hong Kong branch of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference.
