SUMMARY
Topic (1) : Hong Kong's Third Economic Transformation
The ongoing geo-economic fragmentation will continue to pose significant challenges to Hong Kong’s role as a financial center and headquarters economy. The city’s economic structure needs to be changed so that it can be transformed into a new and resilient international hub, so as to achieve (1) a better integration with the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and the regional economy; (2) a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable local economy; and (3) a more competitive international financial and commercial center. This lecture discusses the reasons, the opportunities, and the tactics to transform the Hong Kong economy into a more creative, diverse, and inclusive economy, and the specific industrial policy that can foster its role in the GBA’s innovation and industrial ecosystem.
Topic (2) : Youth Psychological Well-Being in the Artificial Intelligence Age
Young people are increasingly engaging with artificial intelligence (AI) through social media, chatbots, and generative AI tools. This lecture explores the implications of AI media applications for youth psychological well-being, from negative aspects such as depression and stress to positive ones like happiness and life satisfaction, as well as key risk and protective factors like body image and self-esteem. It also discusses strategies for promoting digital well-being and information literacy to bolster youth resilience in an AI-centric era.
