Important Warning for Hong Kong's AI City Brain Project
Experts state that Hong Kong should not start from scratch for its new artificial intelligence system, while attention is drawn to the lack of regulation for educational guardians in the UK.
While it is emphasized that existing infrastructures should be used for the proposed AI-based management system in Hong Kong, it was stated that the educational guardianship system for international students in the UK lacks legal standards.
AI City Brain Project
In the Hong Kong leader's recent policy address, it was proposed to establish an AI City Brain, an integrated management system combining urban governance issues with relevant big data.
Use of Existing Infrastructures
Dr. Winnie Tang suggests building upon existing platforms, such as the Lands Department's Joint Operational Office, instead of starting from scratch.
Educational Guardians in the UK
In a separate development, Dr. Louise Legg evaluated an investigation into educational guardians in the UK, drawing attention to shortcomings in this field.
Risks for International Students
It was stated that these guardians are not subject to any legal standards, mandatory training, or criminal record checks, raising serious concerns for international students coming from Hong Kong.
