Chief Secretary Eric Chan Kwok-ki told the South China Morning Post that Hong Kong’s artificial intelligence management system could take shape and be tested as early as the typhoon season next year, 2027. The “AI city brain” system aims to connect independent databases maintained by different government bodies. The data includes traffic information, flood monitoring and drainage systems, landslide warning systems, weather information, and public inquiries and complaints under the 1823 hotline.

Why it matters

Hong Kong plans to link government databases on traffic, floods, landslides, weather and public complaints into one AI system, with a first test as early as the 2027 typhoon season.
