<p>香港將很快開設首家由類人機器人運營的便利店，這是該市推動將人工智能融入日常生活、加深居民對該技術理解的一部分，財政司司長陳茂波表示。陳茂波在週日透露，專門負責香港人工智能發展的高級政府委員會已成立，並將在本月召開首次會議。這家 24 小時便利店位於紅磡的海濱，陳在其每週博客中表示，店內將配備能夠用多種語言為當地居民和遊客服務的類人機器人。該店由一家專注於具身人工智能的中國大陸公司開發，但他沒有透露該公司的名稱。具身人工智能是指將人工智能整合到物理系統中，例如使用傳感器感知環境、實時決策並與世界進行物理互動的機器人或自動駕駛汽車。陳表示，這家店將是該公司在大陸以外的首家，其選擇香港是對該市開放市場及其在向世界展示創新方面角色的認可。他説：“根據該公司的説法，香港被選為零售店在大陸以外擴展的第一站，是因為該市是國際展示平台，開放測試新技術，併為創新和技術項目提供可見性。” 部長補充説，國家在新興產業方面的領先優勢以及香港作為這些企業全球融資中心的角色，進一步增強了該市對初創企業和科技公司的吸引力。陳表示，這家高科技商店還展示了人工智能加速融入日常生活的趨勢。為了進一步實現這一目標，政府成立了人工智能 + 與產業發展戰略委員會，該委員會也將在本月召開首次會議。該委員會的成員包括人工智能專家、學者和行業參與者，將研究人工智能在生命與健康科學、具身人工智能及社會各領域的應用策略。根據部長的説法，政府還在努力提高公眾對新技術的理解。“在我們積極推動人工智能發展以賦能產業、提升經濟競爭力的同時，我們也希望帶來居民真正能感受到的便利，併為發展創造新的亮點，” 他説。陳提到政府的 “全民人工智能培訓” 計劃，表示政府已撥款 5000 萬港元（約 638 萬美元）用於人工智能應用課程、研討會和比賽，目標是在兩年內贊助超過 200 個活動，吸引 5 萬名參與者。部長解釋説，課程將根據社區中不同羣體的需求量身定製。“對於學生，培訓可以更強調實踐操作，” 他説。“為了幫助老年人基本瞭解人工智能工具，更有效地應用它們並避免受騙，我們將首先為社區成員和學生提供培訓，使他們能夠成為幫助老年人學習人工智能的使者，從而促進代際融合，建設一個更關愛的社區。” 陳還強調了香港日益增長的計算能力，已達到 5000 拍，並預計到 2032 年隨着計劃中的北部大都會附近的桑迪嶺數據設施集羣的發展將達到 18 萬拍。拍是計算機速度的一個測量單位，等於每秒一千萬億次操作。</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>
