What is AI Tinkerers Hong Kong?

AI Tinkerers is a meetup designed exclusively for practitioners with technical, machine learning, and entrepreneurial backgrounds who are actively building and working with foundation models, such as large language models (LLMs) and generative AI.

If you’re deeply passionate about utilizing AI, creating new use cases, developing LLM-enabled applications, or have hands-on experience in building such systems, this group is the perfect fit for you. Join us to connect with like-minded individuals.

Given our unique geographical position, one of the missions of the Hong Kong Chapter is to facilitate intellectual exchange on AI in the region and act as a bridge to share AI insights between the East and West. Although our primary meetup language is English, we welcome demo sharing in both Cantonese and Mandarin.

Who is this for?

This month, we’re focusing on AI in Education and also innovation from the HKUST community! We invite educators, researchers, and students to showcase how they are using AI to revolutionize learning and teaching. From personalized learning platforms to AI-powered educational tools, we welcome your innovative techniques and ideas.

🎙️DEMO SIGNUPS🎙️

We are actively looking for more demos related to AI in Education! A demo is about 5 minutes in length and demonstrates a work in progress. Pitch decks are forbidden - we want to see your messy work in progress! Please use the “Demo Submission Form” link at the top of the page to apply! 🛠️

The button to submit a demo looks like this:
