Aiming to further promote artificial intelligence (AI) industry interaction and exchange, while encouraging more enterprises to actively pursue digital transformation and leverage technology to optimise workflows, as well as alleviate employee stress, a seminar titled “Empowering Business with AI Innovation, Security and Insights” took place yesterday.
The one-day seminar, jointly organised by HKBN JOS (Macau) and Microsoft Hong Kong, was held at Vista in MGM MACAU.
The event attracted several industry representatives who attended and spoke about their experiences as well as case studies on topics such as artificial intelligence, data security, and practical business applications, showcasing the latest commercial applications and solutions, including how Agentic AI* can transform business models, enhance security governance, and ensure data privacy.
Hong Kong Broadband Network (HKBN) JOS Macau General Director Ng Ho Man told the Post that AI applications are rapidly expanding in Macau, offering broad prospects, adding that cybersecurity remains the primary risk accompanying AI development. Malicious actors are leveraging AI technology to target enterprises and individuals, beyond technological application, so greater attention must be paid to AI management, cybersecurity, and risk prevention, Ng said.
Ng pointed out that security issues persist wherever network and IT technologies are used. The key lies in effective management and defence, adding that identifying AI applications that deliver genuine value and efficiency to businesses while balancing security and productivity poses a greater challenge, such as AI customer service and automated document processing effectively, significantly reducing time while enhancing efficiency and accuracy.
*Agentic AI is an autonomous system that uses a large language model as its core reasoning engine to plan, execute actions with tools, and achieve complex, multi-step goals. – DeepSeek
