Published: 25 July 2026. At an APEC workshop in Chengdu, Hong Kong’s Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry described a tiered programme covering students, parents, older people, underprivileged groups, workers and specialist talent. The entry tier focuses on awareness and responsible use, supported by workforce training and cybersecurity education.

Why it matters: AI literacy is becoming public infrastructure rather than an optional technology skill. Impact: Employers and education providers may gain a larger baseline of capable users, but the announcement is a policy speech; enrolment, completion and outcome evidence were not supplied.
