Cross-sector push needed for youth facing ‘paradox of AI fluency’: minister

Hong Kong's Labour and Welfare Secretary, Chris Sun Yuk-han, emphasized the need for cross-sector collaboration to support young people in gaining practical work experience amidst challenges posed by artificial intelligence (AI). Speaking at the Hong Kong Jockey Club's PBC Forum 2026, Sun noted that higher education alone is no longer sufficient for career success in the AI era. He highlighted the importance of AI fluency, specialized technical skills, and soft skills like communication and interpersonal abilities. While young individuals often demonstrate high levels of AI proficiency, they struggle to find opportunities to apply these skills in real-world settings.
