Microsoft has announced a partnership with eight universities in Hong Kong to promote the use of its artificial intelligence (AI) services in education. The collaboration aims to bring generative AI technology powered by Azure OpenAI service to the forefront of education in Hong Kong.

The partnership will involve designing applications and educational solutions, as well as running workshops to encourage the use of AI on campuses. The universities participating in the project include the University of Hong Kong, Chinese University, Polytechnic University, City University, Baptist University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Lingnan University, and Education University of Hong Kong.

The integration of generative AI technology will enhance the educational experience for students and provide faculty members with powerful tools for research and collaboration. The use of Microsoft’s Azure platform ensures private networking, regional accessibility, improved data security, and AI content filtering.

While popular generative AI services like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard are not directly accessible in Hong Kong, they can be accessed through certain third-party platforms. However, Microsoft’s AI solutions on Azure offer additional benefits and better support for educational institutions.

The partnership with Microsoft will accelerate the transformation of education in Hong Kong by leveraging cutting-edge AI technology. By embracing generative AI, universities can enhance the quality of teaching and learning, and prepare students for the future of work in an AI-driven world.
