AI used for first time to analyse lawmakers’ 5-year plan, policy address debate

Hong Kong's legislature has made history by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze lawmakers' remarks during a three-day debate on the city's first five-year plan and the latest annual policy address. The AI analysis identified "talent" and "the Northern Metropolis" as the most-discussed topics, with the former being mentioned by 77 lawmakers and the latter by 71 legislators.

Legislative Council president Starry Lee Wai-king stated that the overview of the six-session debate would be provided to lawmakers for reference and submitted to the government, aiming to help authorities accurately grasp the key focus areas of the motion debate. The overview also highlighted other frequently mentioned themes such as innovation and technology, education, data and computing power, the Greater Bay Area, AI, finance, international financial centre, youth, and employment.
