At a recent press conference held by the World Internet Conference International Organization, Hong Kong's Secretary for Innovation, Technology, and Industry, Sun Dong, announced that Hong Kong's first self-developed generative AI large model will be officially launched to the public this year. This significant announcement marks a new step for Hong Kong in the field of artificial intelligence, further driving the rapid development of its local tech ecosystem.
Sun Dong stated that in addition to focusing on technological development, the team also pays special attention to the governance of AI technology. To this end, an expert panel, after over a year of in-depth research, is about to release a set of guidelines for generative AI. These guidelines aim to provide a necessary framework and recommendations for AI developers, service providers, and users, ensuring the safe and compliant use of AI. He emphasized that good governance will help promote the healthy development of AI, allowing it to play a greater role in various fields.

According to Ren Xianliang, Secretary-General of the World Internet Conference, the Hong Kong Generative AI Research Center released its first AI large model in February this year and plans to establish the Hong Kong AI Research Institute. These measures demonstrate Hong Kong's innovative vitality in the field of artificial intelligence. The head of the research center revealed that the recently launched HKGAI V1 is based on DeepSeek's full-parameter fine-tuning and continuous training technology, marking HKGAI's successful first localized training and showcasing the collaborative innovation capabilities between Hong Kong and mainland China in AI technology.
The launch of this technology will not only inject new vitality into Hong Kong's AI ecosystem but also provide broader scope for future technological applications. With the continuous advancement of AI technology, Hong Kong hopes to secure a place in this field, driving economic and social development.
Furthermore, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government plans to invest HK$1 billion to establish an AI research institute to support further research and development of local technologies. This undoubtedly injects new impetus into the development of Hong Kong's AI industry. We look forward to the widespread application of AI technology in Hong Kong in the future.
