AI Crowd Coding & 1st Innovation Science and Technology Achievement Competition - Secondary and Primary school division
About Us
The Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (AI Lab) aims to connect the academia, the government and the industry so as to create synergy among different sectors. Overseas expertise in innovative resources, algorithms and user experience for developing disruptive solutions would also be attracted to this platform. Ultimately, we hope HK can shaped as a top-tier science and technology platform in the world.
Through the AI Lab, we advocate the nurturing of programming talents, particularly for global leading AI-related science and technology. We also aim to lower the entry barriers for AI adoption and application so that small and medium-sized enterprises, non-profit organizations, schools and individuals can share the fruits of AI. More importantly, the AI Lab will keep abreast of all the latest development and support continuous learning in the relevant area.
Having support from various HK and overseas universities, the AI Lab aims to become a science and technology pioneer in promoting world class research and development as well as commercialization, which will in turn transform HK into a technology-based economy. The Innovation and Technology Bureau has already initiated AI-related research projects. An innovative cloud research environment is being fostered in order to attract visionary technology research and development teams that can help training up new AI talent to satisfy the need in the era of rapid technological development.
AI Lab also strives to become a complementary and interactive platform for talents, enterprises and academia to have unprecedented inspiration and cooperation among the stakeholders, encouraging the generation of disruptive and innovative ideas and methodology.
Vision
Unleash the power of mankind by frontier knowledge, technology and innovation
Mission
