Hong Kong’s AI Goes Rogue: FLock.io Takes the Wheel 🚀🇭🇰

Well, butter my biscuit and call me impressed-HKGAI has decided to shack up with FLock.io, making it the official (and only, mind you) decentralized AI training partner for the Hong Kong government. Because nothing says “efficiency” like handing the keys to the AI kingdom to a company that promises to keep data as scattered as my thoughts after a three-day bender. 🍸💨

  • FLock.io will use federated learning (fancy talk for “we’ll train AI without hoarding your secrets”) to whip up domain-specific models. Because who needs a central data vault when you can just pass notes in class? 📝🔒
  • This cozy partnership comes hot on the heels of HKGAI’s debut of HKGAI V1, their first large-scale generative AI model. Because nothing says “we’re serious” like naming your AI after a version of Microsoft Word. 📊🤖

The Hong Kong Generative AI Research and Development Centre (HKGAI), born in 2023 under the InnoHK initiative (because every city needs a flagship AI hub, apparently), has tied the knot with FLock.io. Why? To bring decentralized AI infrastructure to the public sector, of course. Because if there’s one thing government operations need, it’s more buzzwords. 🗳️🤓

Breaking: FLock is the AI model training partner for the Hong Kong Government’s official and ONLY AI provider, HKGAI. 🇭🇰

Government AI goes decentralized and privacy-preserving.

Under this shiny new agreement, FLock.io will be the go-to decentralized AI trainer, using its federated learning tech to help develop AI models that make government operations as efficient as a cat video factory. 🏛️🐱 Multiple institutions can now collaborate without pooling sensitive data, which is great news for anyone who’s ever accidentally replied-all to a company-wide email. 😬

“This strategic alliance demonstrates powerful support for FLock.io’s unique federated learning protocol by one of Asia’s leading government-backed AI institutions,” said Jiahao Sun, CEO of FLock.io, probably while adjusting his monocle. “We’re excited to introduce decentralized AI infrastructure into public sector operations, driving efficiency, innovation, and real-world impact.” Because nothing says “real-world impact” like making bureaucrats slightly less bureaucratic. 🎩✨

This partnership follows HKGAI’s launch of its inaugural large-scale generative AI model, HKGAI V1, which I’m sure is already writing poetry and solving world hunger. Or at least, it’s probably good at generating meeting minutes. 📜🤖

Oh, and let’s not forget FLock.io’s recent collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme, where they’re mentoring the UNDP’s SDG Blockchain Accelerator. Because if there’s one thing the UN needs, it’s more blockchain in its life. 🌍⛓️ They’re working on pilot projects in climate risk modelling, energy planning, social protection, and supply chain transparency-basically, saving the world one algorithm at a time. 🦸‍♂️💻
