<p>香港将很快开设首家由类人机器人运营的便利店，这是该市推动将人工智能融入日常生活、加深居民对该技术理解的一部分，财政司司长陈茂波表示。陈茂波在周日透露，专门负责香港人工智能发展的高级政府委员会已成立，并将在本月召开首次会议。这家 24 小时便利店位于红磡的海滨，陈在其每周博客中表示，店内将配备能够用多种语言为当地居民和游客服务的类人机器人。该店由一家专注于具身人工智能的中国大陆公司开发，但他没有透露该公司的名称。具身人工智能是指将人工智能整合到物理系统中，例如使用传感器感知环境、实时决策并与世界进行物理互动的机器人或自动驾驶汽车。陈表示，这家店将是该公司在大陆以外的首家，其选择香港是对该市开放市场及其在向世界展示创新方面角色的认可。他说：“根据该公司的说法，香港被选为零售店在大陆以外扩展的第一站，是因为该市是国际展示平台，开放测试新技术，并为创新和技术项目提供可见性。” 部长补充说，国家在新兴产业方面的领先优势以及香港作为这些企业全球融资中心的角色，进一步增强了该市对初创企业和科技公司的吸引力。陈表示，这家高科技商店还展示了人工智能加速融入日常生活的趋势。为了进一步实现这一目标，政府成立了人工智能 + 与产业发展战略委员会，该委员会也将在本月召开首次会议。该委员会的成员包括人工智能专家、学者和行业参与者，将研究人工智能在生命与健康科学、具身人工智能及社会各领域的应用策略。根据部长的说法，政府还在努力提高公众对新技术的理解。“在我们积极推动人工智能发展以赋能产业、提升经济竞争力的同时，我们也希望带来居民真正能感受到的便利，并为发展创造新的亮点，” 他说。陈提到政府的 “全民人工智能培训” 计划，表示政府已拨款 5000 万港元（约 638 万美元）用于人工智能应用课程、研讨会和比赛，目标是在两年内赞助超过 200 个活动，吸引 5 万名参与者。部长解释说，课程将根据社区中不同群体的需求量身定制。“对于学生，培训可以更强调实践操作，” 他说。“为了帮助老年人基本了解人工智能工具，更有效地应用它们并避免受骗，我们将首先为社区成员和学生提供培训，使他们能够成为帮助老年人学习人工智能的使者，从而促进代际融合，建设一个更关爱的社区。” 陈还强调了香港日益增长的计算能力，已达到 5000 拍，并预计到 2032 年随着计划中的北部大都会附近的桑迪岭数据设施集群的发展将达到 18 万拍。拍是计算机速度的一个测量单位，等于每秒一千万亿次操作。</p>

<p>Hong Kong will soon open its first convenience store operated by a humanoid robot as part of the city’s push to integrate AI into everyday life and deepen residents’ understanding of the technology, the finance chief has said. Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po also revealed on Sunday that a high-level government committee dedicated to AI development in Hong Kong had been formed and would hold its first meeting this month. The 24-hour convenience store was located on the waterfront in Hung Hom and would feature a humanoid robot able to serve locals and visitors alike in different languages, Chan said on his weekly blog. The store was developed by a mainland Chinese company focused on embodied AI, he said, without identifying the firm. Embodied AI refers to the integration of AI into physical systems, such as robots or self-driving cars, that use sensors to perceive the environment, make real-time decisions and physically interact with the world. The store would be the company’s first outside the mainland, and its choice of Hong Kong was a recognition of the city’s open market and its role in showcasing innovation to the rest of the world, Chan said. “According to the firm, Hong Kong was chosen as the first stop for the retail store’s expansion outside the mainland because of the city’s international showcase platform, its openness to testing new technologies and the visibility it offers to innovation and technology projects,” he said. The country’s leading advantages across emerging industries and Hong Kong’s role as a key global fundraising centre for such enterprises had further strengthened the city’s appeal to start-ups and technology companies, the minister added. The hi-tech store also demonstrated the accelerating integration of artificial intelligence into daily life, Chan said. To further that goal, the government had formed the Committee on AI+ and Industry Development Strategy, which would also hold its first meeting this month, the finance chief said. Counting AI experts, academics and industry players among its members, the committee will study the use of AI in life and health sciences, embodied AI and application strategies across different areas of society. The government was also working to improve the public’s understanding of the new technology, according to the minister. “While we vigorously promote AI development to empower industries and enhance economic competitiveness, we also hope to bring convenience that residents can genuinely feel and to create new highlights for development,” he said. Citing the government’s “AI Training for All” initiative, Chan said the government had earmarked HK$50 million (US$6.38 million) for AI application courses, seminars and competitions, aiming to sponsor more than 200 events that attract 50,000 participants within two years. Courses would be tailored to the different needs of groups in the community, the minister explained. “For students, training can place greater emphasis on hands-on practice,” he said. “To help elderly people gain a basic understanding of AI tools, apply them more effectively and avoid deception, we will first provide training to community members and students, enabling them to serve as ambassadors who assist the elderly in learning AI, thereby promoting intergenerational inclusion and building a more caring community.” Chan also highlighted Hong Kong’s growing computing power, which had reached 5,000 petaflops and was expected to hit 180,000 by 2032 with the development of the Sandy Ridge Data Facility Cluster in the planned Northern Metropolis near the mainland border. A petaflop is a measurement of a computer’s speed and is equal to a quadrillion operations per second.</p>
