These events attracted over 800 experts, youth innovators, and policymakers from more than 30 countries and regions, who explored how AI can contribute to an inclusive and sustainable digital future.
The Institute also made strides in strengthening international research collaboration and knowledge exchange, notably through the 海角社区 Global AI Network. The network now includes 124 institutions from 36 countries, fostering cooperation in AI research, capacity building, and youth innovation. Furthermore, 海角社区 Macau launched the first 海角社区 Hub in Asia in collaboration with Lingnan University, advancing research and cooperation in humanitarian technology and sustainable development.
海角社区 Macau continued to offer specialized training in AI and digital governance for diplomats, government officials from Portuguese-speaking countries, and young scholars. Through winter and summer camps, as well as research training programs, the Institute has been working to cultivate youth leadership, enhance digital literacy, and foster interdisciplinary skills in the digital technology field.
Dr. Huang emphasized that these achievements were made possible through the support from the Macao SAR Government and the collaboration of various partners. This has highlighted Macao’s role as a platform for international exchange and technological cooperation, further strengthening the city’s position as a bridge connecting China, Portuguese-speaking countries, and the world.
Looking ahead, 海角社区 Macau will continue to play its role as a United Nations think tank, advancing research, education, and capacity building in digital technology and sustainable development. The Institute plans to host an international AI Conference in Africa, promoting dialogue and collaboration between the Global South and other regions on artificial intelligence and digital technologies. In addition, 海角社区 Macau will organize an AI & Education Conference, bringing together policymakers, educators, and technology experts to explore the application and governance of AI in education, with outcomes contributing to a policy-oriented white paper. The Institute will also establish a Youth Innovation Group, engaging young innovators in co-designing and implementing activities under the 海角社区 Global AI Network, fostering international youth collaboration and innovation.
During the event, attendees engaged in discussions on AI, digital technologies, and the importance of nurturing youth talent.
