The agreement will enable the partners to embark on research in the areas of big data, artificial intelligence (AI) and digital media, as well as the in-depth exploration of data integration and the innovative development of the journalism and media industry in the digital era. 

 

HKBU is the first university partner of Wisers in Hong Kong and mainland China. To examine news production and dissemination in the big data and AI era, HKBU and Wisers are collaborating on a series of research projects which focus on the impact of news chatbots and personalised news recommendation systems on news reading habits.
