Hong Kong’s New AI Initiative
Hong Kong is taking a bold step in the world of artificial intelligence with the establishment of its new institute, the AIRDI. This initiative aims to manage computing resources in a centralized manner, as stated by Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, Sun Dong. Despite some experts arguing that individual access to GPUs would attract top talent more effectively, the city remains committed to this centralized model.
This strategy aligns with Hong Kong’s ambition to become a leading international AI hub. By focusing on centralized computing, the institute aims to streamline resources and foster collaboration among researchers and developers. The AIRDI seeks to create an environment where innovation can thrive, bolstering the city’s position in the global AI landscape.
