Hong Kong's government is collaborating with tech experts, educators, and professional bodies to develop an AI platform, specifically a large language model (LLM), tailored for the city's schools. Secretary for Education Christine Choi Yuk-lin announced the initiative in response to a lawmaker's inquiry about leveraging LLMs to enhance teaching and learning. The goal is to create a safe, reliable, and curriculum-aligned LLM that addresses the unique needs of Hong Kong's educational environment. The Education Bureau is working with educational technology companies, universities, and Hong Kong Education City (EdCity) on the project. While the initiative is underway, a specific timeline for its launch has not yet been provided.
