The School of Accounting and Finance (AF) is delighted to announce that a research project led by Prof. Feng TIAN, Associate Professor of AF, has received funding under the Research Grants Council (RGC) Theme-based Research Scheme (TRS) 2026/27. The project, titled “Managing AI Risk for Businesses in Hong Kong”, has been awarded approximately HK$10.84 million and is among the highly competitive projects selected to address issues of strategic importance to Hong Kong's long-term development.
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into business operations, the project aims to develop a comprehensive AI risk management framework tailored to Hong Kong's business environment. The project will examine AI adoption patterns across firms and occupations, explore implications for workforce planning and talent development, and investigate the use of generative AI in corporate disclosures and analysts' reports. It will also assess compliance, operational, and misinformation risks associated with AI technologies, providing valuable insights for businesses, regulators, and policymakers.
Through collaboration with industry partners, the project will produce practical outcomes, including an open-access AI risk management service, algorithms for detecting AI-generated misinformation, and policy recommendations to support responsible AI governance. This achievement highlights AF's research excellence and its commitment to generating impactful knowledge that addresses emerging business challenges.
The School congratulates Prof. Tian and his research team on this significant accomplishment and looks forward to the project's contribution to advancing responsible AI adoption and corporate governance in Hong Kong.
