Artificial Intelligence: Best Partner or Best Enemy?

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has sparked intense debate in recent years. On one hand, leaders from (ChatGPT) OpenAI, Anthropic and (Grok) xAI have publicly raised concerns about the risks of fast-paced AI advancement — including loss of control, stronger autonomous decision-making, and potential impacts on society and employment — calling for stronger regulation and a more cautious approach to high-risk AI. At the same time, controversies over training data copyright and unauthorised use of content have led some to view AI as a potential “disruptor”.

On the other hand, AI offers substantial benefits. It can automate large volumes of repetitive tasks such as data entry, customer service and data analysis, freeing humans to focus on creative and strategic work. With its ability to operate around the clock and deliver faster, more consistent results, AI has the potential to significantly enhance productivity. Ultimately, AI is neither purely a friend nor an enemy — it is a powerful tool. The real question lies in how we, as a society, choose to regulate, use and manage it responsibly.

In this session, Thomas will explore the current landscape and emerging trends of AI applications in Hong Kong.
