The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) received a generous donation of HK$30 million from Mr Li Ka-shing to support the Faculty of Medicine (CU Medicine)’s wider application of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical teaching and research. Together with the same amount of funding matched, CU Medicine will invest a total of HK$60 million to enhance the use of AI in medical education. The goal is to equip CU Medicine’s staff and students as the next generation of clinicians with the readiness to understand, apply and develop AI-powered tools in clinical practice, and get prepared for the ethical challenges associated with the application of medical AI tools.
It is the hope of CU Medicine and Mr Li Ka-shing that this donation will help Hong Kong’s medical education keep pace with rapid technological advances, and continue to maintain its world-class healthcare standards and global leadership.
