ICT Conference 2024

The era of generative AI: the blooming of possibilities and challenges

About

Digitalization affects every aspect of modern life and ensures health and wealth in society. Over the past years, the Covid pandemic has prompted many changes in the way people interact with each other.

It has been an exponential increase in digital technology adoption across multiple industries, which require many practitioners to embrace new, or changed methods, process, and tools under new normal.

The Government of Hong Kong Special Administration Region (HKSAR) had published "Hong Kong Smart City Blueprint 2.0" in December 2020 that inherent the vision of embracing innovation and technology to build a world-famed Smart Hong Kong characterised by a strong economy and high quality of living".

While the infrastructure in Hong Kong has been established, ICT industries should converge with emerging technologies and create platforms that integrate these edge technologies for ICT professionals. "ICT Conference 2024 – The Era of Generative AI: The Blooming of Possibilities and Challenges", aims to provide a forum for government officials, university researchers, and major industry professionals to share their views on government policy, the latest developments and applications, as well as the opportunities and threats in the future ICT era.
