Financial Secretary Paul Chan on Sunday said a committee dedicated to artificial intelligence development in Hong Kong would hold its first meeting this month. Writing in his weekly blog, Chan said the Committee on AI+ and Industry Development Strategy consists of experts, academics and business representatives. It will study the use of AI in life and health science, embodied AI as well as AI application strategies in various aspects such as transport, culture and sustainable development, he said. Chan also said the government had allocated HK$50 million to launch AI training for all, including courses on AI application, lectures and competitions. He said over 200 events were expected to be hosted in two years, benefiting some 50,000 people. Chan went on to say that the form of AI training would be diversified to meet the needs of different groups. “For example, training for students can place more emphasis on encouraging practical application,” he said. “To help the elderly gain a basic understanding of AI so that they can better use the tool and avoid being scammed, we will first offer training for the community and students and let them become ambassadors for seniors’ AI learning.” The FS also said a mainland firm working on embodied AI would launch a robot retail store at the Hung Hom harbourfront soon, with a robot store manager serving customers in multiple languages around the clock. “A person-in-charge told us they chose Hong Kong as the first stop for their retail stores to go global because of the city’s international platform, open atmosphere for new technologies and visibility of innovation and technology projects,” Chan said. “International capital continues to pay attention to and be optimistic about our country’s leading advantages in several emerging industries. The Hong Kong market, as an important international financing centre for these companies, also enhances the city’s attractiveness to start-ups and technology companies.” Chan added that the SAR has been promoting AI development at full speed over the past few years.

Mumbai: Beneath a busy flyover in India's financial capital Mumbai, a row of pastel-coloured shipping containers houses an unlikely school serving some of the city's most marginalised children.Despite laws guaranteeing free schooling for children aged six to 14, poverty and migration continue to keep many out of classrooms, particularly in sprawling cities like Mumbai where many families survive through low-paying informal work.Crippling urban poverty also means young children selling knick-knacks on streets are still a fairly common sight at crowded traffic intersections in big Indian cities.But the non-profit that runs the free school is determined to educate its underprivileged cohort, many of whom come from homeless families that barely eke out a living.Wedged between gleaming skyscrapers and busy roads, the "Signal Shala", or traffic signal school, caters to several dozen children who have been left out of the formal education system, according to Bhatu Sawant, founder of the initiative."These children can't go to (a regular) school. So (I thought) let's do this. Let's bring the school to them," Sawant, 45, told AFP.Also read | Major change in buyer behaviour as e-scooters race deeper into BharatIndia runs one of the world's largest public school systems, but government data for 2024-25 still identified nearly 1.2 million children as "out of school", a catch-all categorisation that covers both those who have never been to school or dropped out.Free mealsFor Sawant, India's government-run schools are simply "not flexible enough for these children", while private ones charging exorbitant fees are out of the question.The signal school operates from repurposed air-conditioned containers placed on a narrow strip of land beneath a flyover, where classes and play unfold amid the constant rumble of traffic overhead.Its approach is tailored to the realities of street life.Every morning, the school bus drives through the cramped lanes of Mumbai's slums, picking up students -- a lifeline for parents who can't afford transportation.When the children file in, the first order of business is a shower, as many have no easy access to bathing facilities.Lockers are provided for books and uniforms that otherwise cannot be kept safe or clean while living in slums or on the streets.Three meals are provided free, with school hours longer than normal.Also read | Indian tourists go viral for all wrong reasons. Here's how not to become the next horror storyClasses are split by ability rather than age, with teachers adapting lessons for children who may never have held a pencil before.Older students are also taught basic skills like sitting still, speaking clearly and staying focused.The challenges are particularly acute when it comes to kids from the semi-nomadic Pardhi community, who often do not speak the local language."When the children came here, they didn't know what the days of the week were, what the 12 months were or what the seasons were," said teacher Tejasvi Borade, as the container walls rumbled from the steady stream of cars passing above.Robotics and AIFor the students, the school serves as a sanctuary from the harshness of the real world."I feel very happy seeing the school bus," said 12-year-old Pooja Pawar, whose parents take on odd jobs at construction sites."The school clothes feel nice. The breakfast is good... In school, we make cake... and dance."For others, it represents an opportunity long denied.Balaji Laxman, who once sold tissues at traffic lights to earn a few hundred rupees -- the equivalent of several US dollars -- a day, said the classrooms represent a chance to imagine a different future."I want to become a doctor," Laxman, 12, said with a shy smile.While the school steers many children towards vocational pathways, Sawant said the broader ambition is to ensure they are not left behind in a rapidly changing world."We have to prepare them for the 21st century," said Sawant, who has set up two similar schools on the outskirts of Mumbai which have robotics labs among other facilities."They should know robotics, AI, computers, 3D printing," said the educator who relies on private and corporate donations for funding, with the government helping with the infrastructure."Everything that elite class children are doing well in, they should know all of that."

People are using AI chatbots for mental health advice, but the AI focuses on common issues and can miss rare conditions. Here's why. An AI Insider scoop.
Technology, more specifically AI, will play a big role in the new additions at the upcoming World Cup.
Het voorspellen van het WK voetbal van deze zomer zal voor veel fanatieke of juist minder betrokken voetbalfans niet de makkelijkste opgave zijn. Menig persoon die een voetbalpool invult, zal met moeite een winnaar kunnen aanwijzen bij Iran tegen Nieuw-Zeeland en Congo-Oezbekistan. Als je daarbij optelt dat er dit toernooi veel meer teams (48 in plaats van 32) meespelen en dus ook veel meer wedstrijden te voorspellen zijn, zal het invullen van een voetbalpool kunnen voelen als een heuse opgave. Dankzij de opkomst van AI-chatbots in de afgelopen jaren is het aannemelijk dat meer mensen de hulp zullen inroepen van een digitale assistent. Sterker nog: het is het eerste WK voetbal waarbij een AI-chatbot op grote schaal kan worden gebruikt voor voorspellingen. De eerste publieke versie van ChatGPT werd uitgebracht in november 2022, toen de groepsfase van het WK in Qatar nog bezig was. Sindsdien zijn er meerdere AI-modellen op de markt gekomen en is het gebruik van kunstmatige intelligentie gemeengoed geworden voor veel mensen. Westers gericht Een aandachtspunt daarbij is dat chatbots als Claude, ChatGPT en Gemini niet specifiek zijn getraind om voetbalwedstrijden te voorspellen, zegt Ruud Adriaans, hoofd AI bij accountantsbureau BDO. "Dat zijn modellen die heel breed ingezet kunnen worden. Ze hebben data van zo'n beetje het hele internet gebruikt." Maar meer data betekent niet automatisch een grotere kans op een goed antwoord bij het invullen van een WK-pool. "Als je een open vraag zou stellen aan een AI-bot, krijg je een soort gemene deler als antwoord." Concreet leidt dat ertoe dat de landen die als favoriet worden gezien, in het antwoord van de chatbot vaak netjes door de poulefase heen komen. De data waarmee de chatbot rekent hebben nog een effect, zegt Adriaans. "ChatGPT en veel andere westerse AI-modellen baseren zich onder meer op data van het internet en die zijn overwegend westers. Westerse nieuwssites zijn bijvoorbeeld meer vertegenwoordigd." Dat heeft weer impact op het antwoord dat je van een chatbot krijgt. Zo is de kans groter dat westerse en 'mediagenieke' landen overschat worden door AI, simpelweg omdat ze vaker voorkomen en meer worden opgehemeld in de aangeleverde data. Geen verrassingen Die vooringenomenheid is meteen ook de valkuil, omdat een AI-model je dus niet zomaar een verrassende uitkomst geeft. Marokko dat de halve finale van het WK haalt en daarbij Spanje en Portugal uitschakelt, zoals in 2022, zou een AI-bot niet hebben voorspeld. Daar komt bovenop dat een chatbot een compleet ander antwoord kan geven als je dezelfde vraag vijf minuten later stelt. Dat merkte ook Peter Neef, die de website Pouletips.nl beheert. Hij werkt al jaren met een rekenmodel dat zich baseert op data van wedkantoren en vergeleek dat dit jaar met de antwoorden van AI-chatbots. Die lopen nogal uiteen. ChatGPT en Gemini verwachten een 1-1 bij de groepsfasewedstrijd Nederland-Zweden, Claude denkt 2-1 voor Nederland en Neef zelf gaat uit van een 1-0 winst voor Oranje. De data van de wedkantoren zouden betrouwbaarder moeten zijn, omdat daar ook bijvoorbeeld WK-selecties, blessures en recente wedstrijden in worden meegenomen. Volgens Neef hebben de bookmakers een duidelijke voorkeur. "Frankrijk en Spanje, die hebben de grootste kans om wereldkampioen te worden. Maar die hebben net wel net allebei een oefenwedstrijd niet weten te winnen, dus dat moeten we echt nog maar zien." Hij wacht in elk geval nog even met het invullen van zijn pool. "Dat is een van de tips ook: vul alles zo laat mogelijk in. Want wie weet zijn er nog blessures of gebeuren er nog andere dingen." Onverwacht goed Kortom: AI een volledige voorspelling laten genereren is geen goed idee als je een pool wil winnen. Maar hulp vragen kan wel, als het maar zeer specifieke vragen zijn, zegt Adriaans van BDO. Je kunt bijvoorbeeld ermee onderzoeken welk van de Afrikaanse landen het de afgelopen periode onverwachts goed heeft gedaan. "AI kan je daar wel, mits je de vraag goed kadert, een prima antwoord op helpen vinden. Zolang je het maar met een bron kunt verifiëren." Adriaans omschrijft het als volgt. "Zie het qua betrouwbaarheid een beetje als je oom die voetbal volgt en ook wat heeft gegoogeld. Uiteindelijk moet je kiezen of je hem vertrouwt of toch liever zelf je research doet."
Cratera em Buriti dos Lopes: trecho da Br-343 ainda não foi totalmente liberado O trecho onde uma cratera se abriu na BR-343, entre Buriti dos Lopes e Parnaíba, em abril deste ano, foi temporariamente liberado nesta sexta-feira (5) e deve passar por uma nova interdição a partir da terça-feira (9). A informação foi confirmada pelo Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura de Transportes (DNIT). Em entrevista à TV Clube, o superintendente regional Ribamar Bastos explicou que a obra no km 41 da rodovia precisou ser ampliada. ✅ Siga o canal do g1 Piauí no WhatsApp Segundo o órgão, a cratera surgiu em decorrência das chuvas na região, que fizeram com que a laje de um bueiro, localizado no acostamento da rodovia, desabasse na madrugada de 17 de abril. "No primeiro momento, o DNIT pensou em recuperar esse bueiro. Mas, com uma análise melhor, mais apurada, resolvemos fazer um bueiro novo. Confeccionamos as aduelas e colocamos já de um lado. Na terça-feira, vamos iniciar a outra pista que não foi feita ainda", explicou Ribamar Bastos. De acordo com o superintendente regional, o lado esquerdo no sentido Parnaíba, considerado o jusante da rodovia, é o que foi concluído. Já o lado montante, lado direito no sentido Parnaíba, ainda será concluído. O sistema de pare e siga, que permite a passagem de um carro por vez, será retomado com a nova interdição. Apenas veículos de passeio têm passagem permitida no trecho. BR-343 é temporariamente liberada após obra por cratera e terá nova interdição a partir de terça (9) Divulgação/DNIT Caminho alternativo Segundo a Polícia Rodoviária Federal (PRF), os condutores podem acessar o desvio pelas cidades de Bom Princípio do Piauí e Cocal. O desvio começa no km 83 da BR-343 e dá acesso à estrada em direção a Cocal. O retorno à BR-343 ocorre no km 35, após o trecho interditado. Outro caminho possível, no sentido de ida para Parnaíba, é dobrar à direita no km 60 da rodovia e pegar a estrada asfaltada que dá acesso à localidade Salgadinho, em Buriti dos Lopes. "Dessa localidade vai seguir para a rodovia estadual (PI-303) que liga a BR a Bom Princípio do Piauí, quando chegar lá dobra à esquerda voltando para a BR depois do desvio", orientou o inspetor Marco, da PRF. O inspetor também apontou que, no caminho inverso, de Buriti dos Lopes para Teresina, os motoristas devem dobrar à esquerda no mesmo km 60.

The Institute is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Launched in 1976, the publication was designed to keep members informed about IEEE and what its constituents were doing, as well as to report on the organization’s initiatives, technical standards, products, and services. That directive expanded over the years to include our reporting on key historical technical achievements recognized as IEEE Milestones and support for young professionals with career-guidance articles and information about educational resources. The Institute has gone through many iterations in the past 50 years. What began as a monthly four-page insert in the print edition of IEEE Spectrum became a separate newspaper published six times a year and mailed along with Spectrum in 1977, and then a monthly publication the following year. Today we publish all of The Institute’s articles online, with a curated selection appearing in our 16-page quarterly printed in the March, June, September, and December Spectrum issues. To provide members with a quick summary of the latest online news, in 2003 a bimonthly newsletter, The Institute Alert, began appearing in your inbox. You also can stay up to date by following our Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn pages. Although much has changed, an original subsection from 1976—“IEEE People”—has been maintained for the past five decades. We continue to celebrate IEEE members from around the world through our profiles, which are among our most popular articles. As the longest-serving editor in chief for The Institute, it is a privilege for me and my staff to chronicle the stories of remarkable IEEE individuals. They are often-unseen visionaries and problem-solvers who work tirelessly behind the scenes on technologies that are reshaping the world. By highlighting their careers and how IEEE has played a role in their professional growth, we hope to inspire the next generation of engineers and technologists to continue a legacy of innovation and service to humanity.
