    Basketball betting on hold / CUHK head and neck cancer study / Improved Heat Stress at Work Warning system / Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's AI clone

    On this programme, we "bounce" into action with a closer look at the government's recent move to suspend the launch of basketball betting, citing the emergence of prediction markets as a potential gateway to illegal gambling.

    After that, we hear from a study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong's faculty of medicine that found significant regional, age, and gender disparities in head and neck cancer incidence.

    After the break, we talk to a lawmaker on the Labour Department's decision to include monitoring stations in nine more locations to better decide whether to issue a Heat Stress at Work Warning.

    And to wrap up the programme, our AI consultant tells us how Meta is building an AI clone of its CEO Mark Zuckerberg to engage with employees in his stead.

    Slope safety / Chat with Mahesh Harilela / Boao Forum for Asia

    主持人:Azam Khan and Mike Rowse

    On Monday's Backchat, we learned more about slope safety as Hong Kong enters the rainy season.

    The government has launched numerous projects over the years to minimise the chances of landslides, resulting in a substantial drop in serious incidents.
    But experts say we must not rest on our laurels as extreme weather brought about by climate change will continue to pose safety risks.
    We talked to an official about the use of cutting-edge technology to bolster landslide prevention.
    We also invited Mahesh Harilela, Family Council Convenor of the Harilela Group, to tell us about his family's history and how the city has shaped his life.
    After the break, we took a deep-dive into the Boao Forum that was recently held in Hong Kong. The theme for this year’s event is: “Transitioning towards the future: Powered by Science, Technology and Innovation”.

    9:05am-9:15am: Slope safety

    9:05am-9:15am: Raymond Cheung, Head of the Geotechnical Engineering Office at the Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD)

    9:15am-9:30am: Chat with Mahesh Harilela

    9:15am-9:30am: Mahesh Harilela, Family Council Convenor of the Harilela Group
