New ride-hailing platform / Enhanced AI-powered publishing tool / Fitting rooms for the disabled / HKUST's AI medical imaging tool
On Friday's Backchat, we looked at the recent unveiling of a new regulatory framework for the ride-hailing industry, including requiring licences for ride-hailing operators.
Chief Executive John Lee earlier said that the city should no longer delay in addressing the issue despite its complexity.
We spoke to an expert and got his take on the proposal.
We then turned our attention to how artificial intelligence is transforming the ways books are published - a trend that Hong Kong is helping to set.
After the break, we listened to how one organisation is trying to make fitting rooms in Hong Kong more accessible for people with disabilities.
And finally, we spoke to an expert from the University of Science and Technology about a new medical imaging tool that can reduce patients' exposure to radiation.

Have AI bots gone rogue? / Red bugs spotted across HK / WestK Shanghai Week 2025
主持人：Azam Khan and Philip Wong
On Thursday's Backchat, we looked into the latest tech developments in which AI could be seen going rogue.
According to recent reports, AI chatbot models are becoming dangerous and showing disturbing new traits, picking up behaviour like deception, scheming, and even threats against their creators.
How worrying is this phenomenon? Is it concerning that firms are continuing to push ahead with developing ever-more-powerful models when they lack a full understanding of their creations’ inner workings?
After the break, we turned our attention to swamps of big, red ants that have recently emerged in Sha Tin, Tai Wai, Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai. More commonly known as “red fire ants”, experts say their secretions can trigger severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
And finally, we spoke to the head of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority to learn more about the WestK Shanghai Week, which wrapped up successfully last month. We also found out about WestK's upcoming plans to further expand its regional and global footprint.
9:05am-9:30am: Have AI bots gone rogue?
Guests:

- Chad Olsen, Head of Forensic Services (Hong Kong) at KPMG China
