Hong Kong avanza en la iniciativa 'IA para todos' para impulsar la competitividad

Hong Kong está avanzando en una iniciativa de «IA para todos» para integrar la inteligencia artificial en toda la sociedad, que incluye una asignación de 50 millones de HK$ para concienciación pública y desarrollo de habilidades mediante cursos, seminarios y competiciones sobre el uso responsable. La Junta de Recapacitación de Empleados será renombrada como «Upskill Hong Kong» para ofrecer formación en IA basada en habilidades que impulse la competitividad de la fuerza laboral. Líderes de la industria como Keith Li King-wah de Innopage se han estado adaptando a la tecnología por delante de estos esfuerzos gubernamentales, que también implican una importante reforma de los currículos escolares y la recapacitación profesional.

En la segunda entrega de una serie del South China Morning Post, Oscar Liu examina cómo la sociedad de Hong Kong —desde el gobierno y las empresas hasta las instituciones y los individuos— se apresura a adoptar la IA mientras el propio trabajo se redefine a sí mismo. Keith Li King-wah’s programming consultancy, Innopage, once thrived in the 2010s. In a crowded field of more than 100 rivals, it easily secured contracts worth hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars to develop basic digital tools, such as a mortgage calculator, for corporations and government agencies. Li is among a wave of industry leaders scrambling to outpace the new technology long before the government pivoted towards an “AI for all” initiative, alongside a massive overhaul of school curricula and vocational retraining. As part of this initiative, HK$50 million (US$6.4 million) will be allocated to build public awareness and skills through AI courses, seminars, and competitions focused on responsible use. To support the current workforce, the Employees Retraining Board will be rebranded as “Upskill Hong Kong”, focusing on providing skills-based AI training to enhance local competitiveness. This push reflects Hong Kong’s urgency in addressing AI-driven changes to work within the Greater Bay Area context, though specific applications of tools like Microsoft, DALL-E, and OpenAI mentioned in keywords are not detailed in the provided text.
