Founded in 2015, AICT is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D and application of high-accuracy AI (HAI) products. Its HAI technologies and solutions are widely applied in perception robotics, intelligent traffic lights, smart roads, autonomous driving, vehicle-road-cloud integration, low-altitude traffic, and spatial intelligence. CityUHK, established in 1984, is a prestigious international institution known for its excellence in research and teaching. The Department of Data Science at CityUHK boasts strong research capabilities and a top-tier academic team in AI and data science domains.
Through this partnership, AICT’s practical experience in AI technology will be combined with CityUHK’s academic research foundation. The joint laboratory will focus on cutting-edge technologies such as machine learning, deep learning, data decision-making, and data intelligence. The collaboration aims to accelerate the practical application and transformation of scientific research in the high-precision AI field through industry-academia cooperation.
The laboratory will offer an online platform for communication and collaboration, hosting technical seminars, laboratory tours, opening ceremonies, and open days to facilitate academic-industrial exchange. It will also provide students with opportunities for internships and project research, enabling them to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems. Additionally, both parties will collaborate on AI and data science-related R&D and commercialization projects, offering platforms for funding applications, technology licensing, and entrepreneurship and investment opportunities.
Dr. Li Xiaoxiang, CTO of AICT, expressed the company’s commitment to the partnership with CityUHK at the signing ceremony, stating, “The establishment of the joint lab will allow us to explore the possibilities of developing and applying HAI technology, while also providing a broader platform for talent cultivation and technological research.”
