The Hong Kong Monetary Authority ("HKMA"), in collaboration with the Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited (Cyberport), successfully hosted the Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenA.I.) Symposium on 31 October 2025. The event was designed as a platform for participants of the GenA.I. Sandbox program to share their innovations and insights.
The symposium attracted over 500 participants from the banking, insurance, and technology sectors. It featured panel discussions led by prominent figures from regulatory bodies, the Fintech Association of Hong Kong, banks, consultancy firms, and technology companies. The event explored the latest advancements in GenA.I. and their implications for the financial sector. Additionally, the symposium included fireside chat sessions with virtual avatars discussing future collaborations between banking professionals and A.I. The event was enhanced with A.I.-powered live transcription, translation, and an interactive photo booth.
At the symposium, the HKMA presented the Report on the First Cohort of GenA.I. Sandbox. The report summarized key findings from the first cohort, showcasing the substantial potential of GenA.I. in enhancing risk management, anti-fraud capabilities, and customer experience. It shared practical insights from trials at Cyberport’s Artificial Intelligence Supercomputing Centre, highlighting the importance of model fine-tuning and guardrail implementation for safer and domain-specific GenA.I. solutions.
The HKMA also introduced a pilot GenA.I. chatbot to provide users with interactive access to insights and guidance from the Sandbox. This chatbot explored the feasibility of deploying a knowledge-bound GenA.I. solution that addresses concerns such as hallucinations and inaccuracies.
Mr. Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the HKMA, emphasized that the first cohort of the GenA.I. Sandbox had uncovered numerous innovative use cases, providing the banking industry with valuable insights into the tangible benefits of A.I. for both banks and consumers. These insights led to the initiation of Project Noor, in collaboration with the Bank for International Settlements Innovation Hub ("BISIH") and other regulators, aiming to develop an explainable A.I. toolkit. He expressed optimism about the second cohort, which will further advance the responsible adoption of GenA.I. in future-proofing banking services.
