    Taxi e-payment rules / OpenAI's Pentagon deal / Gen Z emotional distress survey / Combatting rising obesity

    On this programme, we started things off with a closer look at an upcoming regulation that made the availability of electronic payments mandatory for all taxis. From April 1st, all taxi drivers in Hong Kong will be required to offer at least one QR-code-based and one non-QR-code electronic payment method.
    We then heard from our tech correspondent about OpenAI’s controversial deal with the Pentagon to use its models for US defense systems. The US military had blacklisted OpenAI’s rival Anthropic, deeming it a “security risk”. The move came after Anthropic refused to cross ethical boundaries, including using AI tools for the purpose of fully autonomous weapons without human oversight.
    After the break, we chatted with a representative from the Mental Health Association about a recent survey by the organisation which found that over 40 percent of Gen Z in the city had been affected by emotional distress.
    And lastly, we heard from a senior health official about a new government initiative that aimed to combat rising obesity rates in Hong Kong.

    Changes to teacher registry regime / HKMA's property transaction arrangements / Thai election results

    主持人:Azam Khan and Rainbow Leung

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we talked about recent changes in the education sector. A new proposal will see teachers from publicly funded schools, private schools, international schools and kindergartens fulfill six requirements to obtain a three-year practising certificate. The measure aims to help teachers keep pace with the times, with secretary for education Christine Choi saying there will be leeway given in the first year of implementation.

    After the break, a senior executive at the Hong Kong Monetary Authority told us more about a recent expansion of electronic payment arrangements for property transactions.

    To end the show, we looked at the recent recent election in Thailand, where Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's conservative party secured victory.
