To promote the development and popularization of artificial intelligence (AI) in Hong Kong, Cyberport Hong Kong has collaborated with Beijing Baidu Netcom Technology Co. , Ltd. (Baidu) and Chi Wan Technology Co. , Ltd. (Chi Wan Technology) , to set up an artificial intelligence (AI) Industry Empowerment Centre at Cyberport to build an AI technology ecosystem covering the four key elements of talent, technology, application and market, and to lower the application threshold of AI in Hong Kong, to promote the development and popularization of artificial intelligence in Hong Kong. The Memorandum of cooperation between the three parties was formally signed at Cyberport yesterday. The entire project is expected to invest hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars and will be launched in the middle of this year. It is expected to create over 100 ai-related jobs, it has nurtured over 10,000 AI engineers and developers in Hong Kong, injecting strong new impetus into the AI industry in Hong Kong.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Secretary for Innovation, Technology and industry, Michael Suen, said, "I am delighted to witness the signing of a memorandum of Understanding between Baidu and Cyberport, together with the Cyberport Enterprise, Chi Wan technology, to organise an artificial intelligence (AI) industry empowerment centre with the objective of lowering the threshold for the use of AI in the local industry and promoting the development and popularization of AI in Hong Kong, and jointly nurturing local AI professionals, to empower the industry and support scientific research and innovation, laying a solid foundation for the development of artificial intelligence industry in Hong Kong. The whole project is expected to invest hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in three years, create more than 100 ai technology-related jobs and spawn more than 10,000 ai developers, injecting strong new impetus into the AI industry in Hong Kong. The Chairman of Cyberport, Chen Shiming, said, "The construction of the centre will help various industries to apply digital technologies such as artificial intelligence to the physical environment, and assist different industries to upgrade through digital technology, to enhance productivity and competitiveness, promote the integration of the two, inject new momentum into the development of the digital economy in Hong Kong, drive the huge industrial economy and output value, and strengthen the development of the artificial intelligence industry in Hong Kong, we will continue to develop into an international innovation and Technology Center. "Over the past decade, Baidu Baidu has invested nearly rmb150bn in a full stack of AI chips, frameworks, models and applications. The tripartite cooperation will build an AI technology ecosystem in Hong Kong covering the four key elements of talent, technology, application and market, effectively promoting the wide application of AI in Hong Kong and the world, science and technology innovation serve social and economic development. "

For every $1 invested, HK $4 to HK $5"Baidu is the leading search engine and artificial intelligence company in the mainland, being Baidu's partner in the Hong Kong region in organising an artificial intelligence centre is an important and meaningful experiment. It is planned to be launched in the middle of this year. In the future, hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent on AI development. With reference to the current approximate algorithms in the mainland, each $1 spent on AI will bring about economic benefits of about $4 to $5, if we put 300 million yuan into different fields, we will have an output of zero million yuan. Investments of a scale of zero, including the Cyberport Supercomputing Centre, are expected to bring enormous economic benefits. He said he hoped that the role of Hong Kong's super-connector could be better utilised in the future. Under the mou, the Baidu Company will explore the provision of related products and technologies to complement Cyberport's efforts in building an AI supercomputing centre and an AI ecosystem. Cyberport will explore collaboration with the Baidu Company and Chi Wan technology in the area of AI, including providing training venues and organising staff to participate in ai-related training activities, and the establishment of artificial intelligence technology and ecological display space, artificial intelligence developers interactive space. At the same time, Baidu and Chi Wan Technology announced that they will join the Cyberport technology network to provide ai-related technical advisory support to the Cyberport Community Enterprises.
