The Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Mr Chan Mao-po, said in a blog post on the 23rd that the artificial intelligence boom is adding strong impetus to Hong Kong's economy and consumer market. The SAR government is comprehensively promoting the implementation and popularization of AI in various fields. He pointed out that while technology is developing rapidly, improving the AI skills of the labor force has become the key. This year, the SAR government budget allocated 50 million yuan to launch the “National AI Training” program. Through multi-party cooperation such as Cyberport, Science Park, and the Productivity Promotion Bureau, the goal is to host more than 200 events this year and next two years, which are expected to benefit about 50,000 visitors. In addition, the Employees Retraining Board is also planning to cooperate with large technology companies to launch AI courses for Hong Kong workers in November.
