The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Securities and Futures Commission, Insurance Authority and Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority, working with Cyberport, have selected the first cohort of the Generative Artificial Intelligence Sandbox++. The cohort comprises 36 use cases involving 30 financial institutions and 27 technology partners, chosen from nearly 100 proposals based on innovation, technical complexity and potential industry value. The pilots will focus on agentic AI applications that can perform tasks with greater autonomy, including end-to-end customer onboarding, payments, insurance claims and customer interactions. They will also examine how AI can dynamically oversee actions taken by other AI applications, extending the earlier sandbox theme of “AI vs. AI.” Participants will be onboarded to a platform managed by Cyberport’s Artificial Intelligence Supercomputing Centre, with technical trials due to begin later in 2026.
