Hong Kong is launching an "AI for all" initiative to adapt to the rapid rise of generative artificial intelligence. The initiative includes allocating HK$50 million to build public awareness and skills through AI courses, seminars, and competitions focused on responsible use. The Employees Retraining Board will be rebranded as "Upskill Hong Kong" to provide skills-based AI training to enhance local competitiveness. This comes as AI has already significantly impacted Hong Kong's programming industry, with firms like Innopage struggling to compete with automated services. The government aims to overhaul school curricula and vocational retraining to support the workforce in adapting to the new technology.
