At the ceremony, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Chow Yat-ming, stated that promoting AI education in primary and secondary schools is key to enhancing the future competitiveness of Hong Kong. Under the guidance of the HKBU instructors and industry experts, JPC members not only mastered skills such as precise AI prompt engineering and chatbot dialogue design, but also learned to apply technology to solve practical problems through this scheme. Participants successfully applied AI to address social issues, including integrating anti-scam messages into game designs and conveying national security concepts through AI generated four-panel comics. He encouraged the participants to maintain their curiosity and continue exploring the possibilities of technology to address societal challenges.

The scheme aims to enable youths to acquire AI knowledge, broaden their horizons, and explore innovative thinking through AI courses and competitions. It attracted over 500 JPC members from Primary Four to Secondary Six. The scheme comprised three stages: face-to-face courses, online courses, and a hackathon. More than 90 JPC members who completed the first two stages formed 27 teams to participate in the hackathon today. The competing teams were required to apply the AI skills learned in previous courses to design four-panel comics and games, showcasing their creativity. A total of 10 awards were presented at the ceremony, including the awards for outstanding performance teams and the Best Team Spirit Award selected by the judging panel, as well as the Most Popular Award voted for by the guests in attendance.

Officiating guests at the ceremony also included the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations), Mr Yip Wan-lung; the Director of Operations, Mr Lui Kam-ho; and the Assistant Commissioner of Police (Public Relations), Mr Chan Sze-tat.
