Funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust and jointly organised by the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Education at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), the CUHK Jockey Club AI for the Future Project (the Project) held the Greater Bay Area AI for the Future Experiential Camp 2024 (the Camp) on 19 August at the CUHK Shenzhen Research Institute. The camps are highly popular among schools, students and parents, attracting over a hundred local secondary students each summer. Infused with a vibrant and\u00a0jubilant atmosphere,\u00a0the Camp was held in Shenzhen for the first time\u00a0this year, drawing over 300 teachers and students from Hong Kong and mainland cities.<\/p>\r\n
With the advancement of computing, communication\u00a0and sensing technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly developing, and its applications are increasingly\u00a0being integrated into everyday life. Through seminars, workshops, competitions and special tasks, the Camp enables students to directly experience the potential\u00a0of AI, fostering\u00a0innovative thinking, creativity, problem-solving skills and team spirit. Teachers from\u00a0mainland China and Hong Kong also exchanged insights on the latest developments\u00a0in AI education,\u00a0enhancing collaboration and driving progress\u00a0in AI education across the Greater Bay Area.<\/p>\r\n

C<\/b><\/strong>han<\/b><\/strong>, Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Alumni Relations and\u00a0Advancement) of CUHK, officiated at the opening ceremony of the Camp, joined by other\u00a0guests. He stated that CUHK and The Hong Kong Jockey Club had been collaborating to promote the CUHK Jockey Club AI for the Future Project,\u00a0aiming at\u00a0nurturing\u00a0the younger generation as future AI innovators and leaders,\u00a0working towards maximising social benefit. This year\u2019s\u00a0Camp attracted students from mainland China and Hong Kong, reflecting the collaborative development among cities in the Greater Bay Area. Professor Chan credited the smooth execution of the event\u00a0to the CUHK\u2019s longstanding efforts\u00a0in Shenzhen, showcasing the crucial role of the CUHK Shenzhen Research Institute as a platform throughout the Greater Bay Area. The Institute looks forward to contributing further to cross-border collaboration and information exchange.<\/p>\r\n Professor <\/b><\/strong>Yam <\/b><\/strong>Yeung<\/b><\/strong>, Research Professor of the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering at CUHK, Director of the CUHK Shenzhen Research Institute\u00a0and Principal Investigator of CUHK Jockey Club AI for the Future Project, said:\u00a0\u201cIn this digital era, the scope of AI technology applications is broadening; therefore, there is an urgent need to guide students in effectively understanding and utilising AI,\u00a0empowering them to approach\u00a0AI with a positive attitude. Currently, AI development is an irresistible trend and a key area that can enhance\u00a0competitiveness. With frequent interactions between Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, mainland China places a strong emphasis on the development of AI education. The Camp aims to establish closer cooperative relationships with institutions in the Greater Bay Area to collectively drive forward AI education. Our aspiration is for students to\u00a0establish a foothold in the AI era\u00a0and master AI technology,\u00a0regardless of their chosen field.\u201d<\/p>","show_as_achievement":false,"achievement_category":[],"show_as_clarification":false,"show_as_announcement":false,"photos":[{"photo":205751,"caption":"Professor Anthony T.C.
