Heavyweight! Li Ka-shing donates HK$60 million to boost AI healthcare industry!
Hong Kong's richest man and founder of the Cheung Kong GroupSir Li Ka-shing (1928-), Hong Kong businessmanRecently, he made another double donation! This time, he donated HK$60 million to two medical schools in Hong Kong to promote the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical teaching and research. The news blew up social media platforms, with netizens saying, "Sure enough, it's not easy to make money for rich people!"
Li Ka-shing has always been generous to the education and healthcare sectors. Remember in 2018, he donated HK$2 billion to Shantou University for school construction and medical development. And this time, he donated to two medical schools, aiming to promote the application of artificial intelligence in medical teaching and research, which is a very forward-looking field.
However, this is not an easy task. Some may retort, "AI, no matter how much it develops, cannot replace doctors!" This statement hits the nail on the head. But in reality, the application of AI in the medical field is not to replace doctors, but to assist them in more accurate diagnosis and treatment. As a netizen said, "AI is not meant to replace doctors, but to allow doctors to apply more accurate diagnostic methods and improve treatment results."
All in all, Li Ka-shing's donation this time demonstrates both his importance and concern for education and healthcare, and promotes the application of AI in medical teaching and research. Despite some controversies in the field, we can't deny that the development of AI has brought new possibilities to the medical career.
