Artificial intelligence (AI) is being hailed by many industry observers as the “next big thing” in technological innovation.

Yet there are still doubts about the trustworthiness of “AI black box” technology and how the algorithms inside are able to perform AI tasks that normally require human intelligence.

To help confirm the accuracy and authenticity of the information provided by AI and robotics (AIR) solutions providers, an independent third-party testing and validation system is essential.

Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) – a Hong Kong statutory body offering expertise and all-round support to facilitate the expansion of innovation and technology start-ups and enterprises in Hong Kong and across the region – has rolled out its Technology Validation Platform. As the first of its kind in the city, the platform validates companies’ AIR models and bridges the “trust gap” that has slowed down the take-up of AIR innovations by some Hong Kong businesses.

Dr Crystal Fok, HKSTP’s director of AIR platform and precision engineering, says the in-depth testing and evaluation offered by Hong Kong’s first Technology Validation Platform can encourage industry adoption of artificial intelligence and robotics technologies.
