Victoria Harbour Roundtable on Global AI Cooperation
The Victoria Harbour Roundtable on Global AI Cooperation, a closed-door Track 1.5 dialogue, was held on 12 April at the Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel. The conference brought together policymakers, academics, industry leaders, and experts to exchange views on advancing international collaboration in artificial intelligence governance and development.
Discussions were organised around three thematic tracks: (1) Positioning Hong Kong as an AI Governance Hub, (2) AI Safety, Alignment, and Regulation across National Boundaries, and (3) The Role of Higher Education Institutions in Facilitating Global AI Cooperation. Participants explored opportunities for Hong Kong to contribute to global AI governance, examined approaches to strengthening cross-border coordination on AI safety and regulatory frameworks, and highlighted the role of universities in fostering research partnerships, talent development, and international knowledge exchange.
The key findings and recommendations emerging from the discussions provide valuable insights for shaping future initiatives and next steps following the conference. In particular, they offer practical considerations for strengthening Hong Kong’s role as a convening platform for global AI dialogue, advancing international cooperation on AI governance, and leveraging higher education institutions as key enablers of responsible AI innovation and collaboration.
