CUHK and Corvinus University launch Hungarian-funded project to advance trustworthy AI

The Chinese University of Hong Kong’s (CUHK) InnoHK Centre for Perceptual and Interactive Intelligence (CPII) and Corvinus University of Budapest (CUB) have entered into a bilateral research partnership to advance the safety and reliability of AI systems for practical real-world deployment.

The collaboration is backed by funding from the Hungarian National Research, Development and Innovation Office.

At the signing ceremony, chairman of the CPII Board Sham Mai-har hailed the agreement as a landmark moment, emphasising its role in bridging the innovation ecosystems of Hungary and Hong Kong.

She voiced optimism that the joint venture would deliver transformative innovations for both local communities and the global technology landscape. With the project now underway, both institutions have set out to establish new standards in AI development.

Director of CPII Helen Meng Mei-ling noted that the project seeks to create AI architectures that are more precise, explainable and provable, setting new global standards for the safe and reliable use of AI in practical applications.

CPII was established by CUHK in 2020 under the InnoHK initiative from the Innovation and Technology Commission of the SAR government. Its research covers computer vision, multilingual speech and language technologies, natural language processing and AI-enabled design automation.
