Supercomputing sparks innovation

********************************

     The Government has allocated $3 billion to set up a three-year Artificial Intelligence (AI) Subsidy Scheme. Since its launch, projects from around 20 universities, institutions and companies have been approved for funding. Among these projects, researchers at the University of Hong Kong have developed generative AI for 3D scene generation by giving voice prompts. The technology can be applied across various industries for practical uses, such as presentations and design.

     News.gov.hk interviewed a researcher from the University of Hong Kong on the working principles and advantages of their AI initiative. A representative from Cyberport, which supplies computing power for organisations participating in the subsidy scheme through its supercomputing centre, also outlined their vision for strengthening Hong Kong's AI ecosystem.

     The story is available at www.news.gov.hk/eng/feature from today (January 4) in text and video format.
