Artificial intelligence and digital assets are emerging as two of the most closely watched investment themes in global capital markets. This forum will bring together asset managers, licensed virtual asset platforms, technology companies, and industry experts to explore market trends and potential investment opportunities, with discussions covering global asset allocation, Bitcoin ETFs and institutional adoption, the AI computing power value chain, and capital expenditure cycles. The event agenda includes guest registration, opening remarks, keynote speeches on global asset allocation amid AI and Bitcoin narratives, the development of digital asset ETFs, and new investment landscapes in the AI era. There will also be panel discussions on the institutionalization of Bitcoin and the new computing power cycle from chips to the cloud, followed by networking.

As AI agents evolve from software tools into active participants in the global economy, they require more than intelligence. They need identity, authorization, metering, settlement, and reliable global payment infrastructure. On August 27, DogPay will host an AI × Web3 networking night in Wan Chai, Hong Kong, bringing together around 100 attendees—including AI agent entrepreneurs and product leaders, representatives from stablecoin and cross-border payment institutions, Web3 infrastructure providers, investors, and industry partners—for a collaborative discussion. The evening will explore one central question: How can AI agents enter the real economy and make secure, efficient global payments? The program includes a DogPay keynote, partner perspectives, complimentary drinks and light bites, and curated networking designed to encourage meaningful industry connections. This independently organized event takes place in Hong Kong during Bitcoin Asia week. It is not an official Bitcoin Asia event and does not imply any affiliation or partnership with Bitcoin Asia. The event will feature a welcome reception, opening remarks, keynote speeches on connecting AI to global payments, agentic payment trends, and smart agents reshaping trading, followed by a cocktail networking session. Free drinks and snacks will be provided. The event is suitable for AI Agent entrepreneurs, product leaders, stablecoin, payment, cross-border finance, and compliance institution representatives, Web3 infrastructure, investment institutions, and industry partners. It is an application-based event, and approval is required for attendance.

Welcome to AI Tinkerers Hong Kong's August meetup, featuring demos focused on creative learning with AI. Co-hosted with OAX Foundation and GMAsia, this is a curated, technical gathering for active builders including engineers, researchers, developers, and creative technologists working directly with foundation models and generative AI. This community event prioritizes running code over slide decks and architectural depth over high-level concepts. Attendees are encouraged to discuss real technical challenges with fellow practitioners, especially those building, experimenting, or deploying AI systems in creative learning and generative tools. The agenda includes guest registration, an AI Tinkerers kickoff, demos & interactive session from us at GMAsia.ai, a networking break with simple F&B, and three demo sessions with Q&A. 🎉 If you're a builder in the space, you're more than welcome to showcase your experiments, creative hacks, and technical discoveries, focusing on 'how' you've built something rather than 'why' someone should use it - especially for the learning and EdTech space. 🎓 Examples of demo topics include custom AI tutors, generative media for education, code sandboxes, multimodal workflows, and agentic study tools. The event is free of charge but requires RSVP and a selective application process to ensure attendees are active builders willing to share their work. The event is generously supported by OAX Foundation (Venue Partner) and GMAsia.ai (Food & Beverage Partner), and Prompt in Progress (Production Partner). 🤝

Who Runs The Code is a community for women in Hong Kong who want to build with AI. No coding background, no design background, no gatekeeping. Just people making things and figuring it out together. This is our second session. You can build an app with AI in ten minutes. But it usually comes out looking generic: purple gradient, cramped spacing, five buttons fighting for attention. This session is about closing that gap. How to prompt for visuals that actually look designed, even if you've never opened Figma in your life. We'll get into why AI-generated UI looks the way it does, how to borrow good taste on purpose instead of hoping the model guesses right, and the handful of rules that make something look authored instead of generated. The night: a short crash course, then you build, then we share what we made and hype each other up. Networking after. Who it's for: women who wants to prompt better AI visuals. Bring a laptop and one idea, that's it. Coming to a session means joining the community. The hub where members share what they're building, the group chat, and first access to whatever we do next. Getting in: we keep the room to a real mix of industries and career stages, so there's a short application below. Takes a minute. Bring: a laptop, and either one idea or something you already made that looks a little off and want to fix.

While most people use AI as a basic Q&A chat tool, leading professionals are already using it to automate entire market research and analytics workflows. If you are still manually extracting data or tracking market shifts line by line, you are losing hours every week. Join us for a high-energy live demo where top AI practitioners tackle real-world challenges at speed, showcasing practical, automated workflows at AI Solutions for Market Intelligence & Analytics. In just 45 minutes, you will see live proof of how to: Automate complex data extraction without manual effort Set up real-time, automated market monitoring systems Streamline end-to-end analytics workflows using modern AI tools The future of work isn't about working harder, it is about knowing how to leverage AI.

Robotics Frontiers 2026 is a curated forum connecting leading researchers, robotics companies, founders, students, and investors from the United States and Asia. The forum will explore the latest developments across the robotics stack, including embodied AI, robot foundation models, robotics data, hardware, humanoids, real-world deployment, and machine economy infrastructure. Confirmed and invited participants include Steve Cousins, Executive Director of the Stanford Robotics Center, together with researchers and industry leaders from HKU, PolyU, CUHK, HKUST, OpenMind, Fabric Foundation, and leading robotics model, hardware, and data companies. Designed for a focused audience of 75 - 100 participants, the forum creates a high-signal environment for technical exchange, partnerships, recruiting, and business development. Program Highlights include a keynote by Dr. Steve Cousins, research sharing from HKU faculty and HKU Robocon, product and demo sessions from ROKAE Robotics and Dobot, panel discussions on robot foundation models, data, hardware, and deployment, and networking with researchers, founders, operators, and investors across the robotics ecosystem. Note: This event strictly requires registration and approval.

This event will explore how to leverage AI tools for investment purposes. While AI tools are frequently discussed, their practical application in generating assets is crucial. What previously required a team of researchers in an institution can now be achieved by an individual with a computer. The session will cover three main topics: 1) How to build your first AI employee – creating an AI with 'memory' that is available 24/7 as a private assistant. 2) How to solve the problem of AI hallucinations – addressing AI's tendency to present uncertain information as certain, which prevents users from trusting its conclusions. Solving this issue is key to making AI outputs truly usable. 3) Understanding the full capabilities of an AI Full Investment Team – starting with a single AI employee, the session will demonstrate a complete AI Investment Team with specialized roles for intelligence gathering, in-depth research, and risk assessment. Attendees will learn the difference between a single employee and a full team, and what is needed to transition between them. This event is suitable for anyone interested in crypto/investment who wants to learn how to use AI to aid their decision-making, including complete beginners. Attendees are encouraged to bring their personal computers for hands-on practice. The speaker is Matthew, a CFA/FRM, former hedge fund investment director, and founder of Chainlab.

Hong Kong has moved beyond the question of whether crypto should be regulated. The harder question is how banks, securities firms, exchanges, and stablecoin payment providers make different regulatory regimes and control systems work together. Basel III shapes how banks approach cryptoasset exposure. Securities and virtual asset firms face their own licensing, custody, and market-conduct obligations. Across the chain, compliance teams must detect financial crime using customer records, fiat transactions, wallet activity, and blockchain data that rarely sit in the same system. This panel discussion will feature speakers who have experience regulating financial markets, leading compliance inside banks and securities firms, operating global crypto exchanges, advising law enforcement, and applying rules to stablecoin payments. They will examine questions such as who monitors transactions across banks, exchanges, stablecoin providers, and self-hosted wallets; what changes when financial groups acquire crypto businesses; when de-risking is prudent; and what controls regulators expect for fiat and on-chain activity. The event is a practitioner-led discussion for professionals in virtual assets, regulatory policy, compliance, payments, securities, and institutional treasury. The agenda includes doors opening at 4:00 PM for registration and coffee, a panel discussion with Q&A and a live demo at 4:45 PM, followed by networking at 5:30 PM, and closing at 7:00 PM.

(Hybrid event, held in-person at HKU and also livestreaming online.) Beneath the abstract debates about machine consciousness and moral status lies a more urgent, practical question: whose values should AIs embody, and who gets to decide? As frontier AI systems grow more powerful and pervasive, the choices about what they are trained to value are increasingly concentrated in a handful of labs, each operating under a single, unified "constitution" or model spec. Simon Goldstein, Associate Professor at the University of Hong Kong and Senior Editor at AI Frontiers, joins us to challenge this prevailing orthodoxy. Drawing on his extensive work at the intersection of AI ethics, law, and institutional design—including his forthcoming book AI Rights—he will argue that the current approach of instilling a single set of values into each AI system is not only philosophically narrow but practically dangerous. Instead, he makes the case that frontier AI labs should embrace constitutional diversification: creating many different kinds of AIs, each shaped by different constitutions reflecting a plurality of moral frameworks. The discussion will cover: The Problem with a Single Constitution, Diversification as a Risk-Mitigation Strategy, Political Legitimacy, and Unlocking Emergent Value and Avoiding Lock-In. The decisions we make today about which values to encode will shape not only how AIs behave, but what kind of future humanity inherits. For anyone who wants to understand why the current approach to AI alignment is insufficient, and what a more robust, pluralistic alternative looks like, this discussion is essential. About the Speaker: Simon Goldstein's work examines the ethics and law of artificial intelligence, focusing on whether AIs possess interests of their own, what legal standing they should be granted, and how humanity can avert catastrophe as AI capabilities grow. A recurring theme in his research is that AI behavior can be shaped by legal and economic institutions as much as by technical training, and that granting AIs legal rights may accordingly reduce the likelihood of catastrophic outcomes. Simon is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong and a Senior Editor at AI Frontiers. He has previously held positions as a Visiting Senior Scholar at Forethought and a Research Fellow at the Center for AI Safety. He received his PhD from Rutgers and his BA from Yale.

After work, want a drink and to gain knowledge? Why not both? Lecture After Dark brings the popular bar lecture culture from abroad to Hong Kong, hoping participants can learn new knowledge and ponder important topics in a relaxed environment. Topic: The Soul of Art: Redeeming AI and the Aura's Demise in Art When an image can be generated in seconds, many blurt out: beautiful, but soulless. This statement sounds contemporary but is actually ancient. Plato once worried that art was merely a shadow of a shadow; when photography emerged, some declared painting dead; Benjamin said that mechanical reproduction gradually diminished the aura of artworks. AI did not invent this anxiety; it merely pushed the old problem to a state with no original, no single author, only infinite variations. Tonight, we won't talk about operations, teach prompts, or rush to answer "Is AI art?" We will start from "the demise of the aura" and ask a more troublesome question: Is the so-called soul of art truly vested in the unique original, the creator's intention, or that moment of being struck during viewing? If the aura is indeed disappearing, is the object of redemption AI, art, or our imagination of art? Lecture after dark is for those who come with questions, not with answers. Boli is active in contemporary art criticism, focusing on the development of artworks and art theory analysis, with works spanning mass media and academic fields. His work "Abstract Expressionist Plane as a Form of Dance Documentation" won the IATC(HK) – International Association of Theatre Critics (Hong Kong Branch) "There is a Future Called Documentation" Grand Award. For years, he has been dedicated to writing art reviews for various art exhibitions and artist interviews, bringing different artistic perspectives to Hong Kong art. His writing style is particularly known for "Boli-style art criticism" based on art theory. Last year, his proposed methodology for periodizing Hong Kong art history at the European Conference on Arts & Humanities (ECAH) held at the University of London sparked considerable discussion in academia. Boli has also recently paid close attention to the development of art technology and AI, serving on the committee of the academic organization Hong Kong Digital Humanities Association, and publishing conference papers discussing the application and development of Hong Kong art in GenAI. Agenda: 5:45 PM - Entry and order drinks 6:00 PM - Lecture begins 6:45 PM - Q&A 7:15 PM - Socializing and wrapping up Price: HK$160/person (includes one alcoholic/non-alcoholic drink)
