HKU Musketeer Foundation Institute of Data Science (IDS) is a pioneering research hub established in July 2021 with the generous support of “The Musketeers Education and Culture Charitable Foundation.” As the spearhead of the University of Hong Kong’s decade-long technological development plan, IDS is dedicated to driving groundbreaking research and innovation. By attracting top talents from diverse fields, IDS aims to establish a strong regional and global identity, focusing on three cutting-edge research themes: Fundamental Data Science, Explainable AI, and Human-Machine Interplays, and Smart Society.
To further our commitment to integrating AI with humanity, IDS launched Interdisciplinary Dynamics: Ethics, AI & Society (IDEAS) in October 2024. This dynamic research center explores the ethical, legal, social, and governance dimensions of artificial intelligence. Leveraging expertise across computer science, humanities, law, political science, business, philosophy, and China studies, IDEAS positions IDS and HKU as global leaders in shaping the future of AI in society.
Join us at HKUIDS as we push the boundaries of data science and artificial intelligence, driving innovation and fostering a smarter, more ethical world.
