Prof. CAO Jiannong, Vice President (Education) and Director of IHERD of PolyU highlighted that three of the university’s 12 regional technology and innovation research institutes are located in Zhejiang (Hangzhou, Shaoxing, and Wenzhou) to drive research commercialisation. To further integrate cutting-edge technology into the classroom, PolyU is actively negotiating with tech giants like Alibaba and Huawei to co-develop an AI education platform powered by their large language model teams.
Additionally, Professor Cao revealed that PolyU is spearheading the launch of the International Consortium for Higher Education Transformation and Innovation with AI (ICHETI)—which already have invited over ten leading domestic and overseas institutions such as Zhejiang University and Fudan University. Built on the principles of "Sharing Practice and Co-development" to prevent redundant resources, this Consortium supports PolyU’s vision of a student-centred future where AI acts as a learning partner and teachers serve as navigators, positioning PolyU as a global benchmark for AI-empowered educational transformation.
