Safeguarding Personal Data AI Sandbox / Beijing Space Computing Innovation Center / Embryo sample mix-up saga / Meningococcal disease awareness survey

Presenters：Philip Wong and Rainbow Leung

On this programme, we speak to a representative from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data after they recently joined hands with the Digital Policy Office to launch a measure that aims to provide a collaborative platform for schools to adopt AI solutions.

We then turn our attention over to a space computing research institute that was set up in Beijing, focusing on key research areas such as inter-satellite laser communication and space safety standards.

After the break, a lawmaker tells us more about a recent embryo biopsy mix-up that forced a fertility clinic to halt most of its services.

And to wrap up the show, we learn all about a survey that found nearly 60 percent of parents in Hong Kong mistakenly believe that invasive meningococcal disease is no different from a common cold.
