World Telecommunication and Information Society Day – Hong Kong (WTISD-HK) 2018
Theme – “Enabling the positive use of Artificial Intelligence for all”
With the principal support of the Office of Communication Authority (OFCA) and a number of sponsors in the industry, Communications Association of Hong Kong (CAHK) has been hosting World Telecommunication and Information Society Day – Hong Kong since 2007, capitalizing on the opportunity to promoting the latest in ICT to the public and especially the youth and the academic communities. We believe that the efforts have been well spent and our goals and objectives achieved.
Looking at how the use of “AI” could help to improve public services and education sector, CAHK will organize contests for inspiring students’ imagination how “AI” will improve our lives and also encourage them to think analytically and write creatively for this great city in their talented way!
Our colleagues at the Association are now actively planning for the 2018 event closely following the theme provided by the ITU titled “Enabling the positive use of Artificial Intelligence for all”. Our plan, subject to refinement is to host a series of promotional and educational events throughout March to May of 2018 including an “ICT Open Day” targeting over 1,000 students, teachers and other participants. “Geocaching Competition” (48 Teams again this year), one of the most favorable competitions will be joined by our newly organized “Make our lives easier with AI” App Enhancement Competition and “AI vs Humans, who will win?” Essay Competition.
The Prize Presentation Ceremony is scheduled to be held on 12 May 2018 Saturday.
The WTISD-HK aims at promoting a range of ICTs to youth in Hong Kong. These innovative competitions are the annual CAHK initiative aiming at talented students using technology creatively to meet a range of real-life developmental challenges and improve lives. We hope that these ideas will inspire many more bright young minds to keep thinking differently and try to better their community.
