WAIC fosters partnership for a better future

WAIC UP!

WAIC UP!, the conference's flagship publication, tracks cutting-edge developments across the entire AI landscape.

As of June, seven quarterly volumes have been released, featuring more than 70 cross-sector global trailblazers ranging from Turing Award laureates and academicians to sci-fi authors, artists and astronomers, with exclusive in-depth analysis amounting to 700,000 words in total.

Back in January, WAIC UP! hosted its debut year-end global summit at Hong Kong Science Park. Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu delivered a video address, and over 40 top global scholars and industrial leaders took the stage.

The event marked a landmark strategic alignment between AI industrial practices on the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong's strength as an international innovation hub.

This year, WAIC UP! has rolled out a suite of upgraded offerings to enrich its global influence, starting with a newly launched youth observer column. It recruits outstanding young minds from top universities worldwide.

These young participants take on triple roles as industry observers, agenda co-creators and opinion contributors, whose unique viewpoints and firsthand industry insights are published alongside views from veteran industry leaders.

Building on these upgrades, the WAIC UP! team will co-host a schedule of events both day and night in July, before returning to Hong Kong in December for another year-end summit. The gathering will bring together insightful industry discussions to recap milestones of the year and map out forward-looking trends for all AI stakeholders.
