The Insurance Authority (IA) hosted the AI Cohort Symposium today (15 June 2026) and welcomed three insurers as new core participants of the programme, bringing the total number of core participants to 10 since August 2025.

Mr Stephen Yiu, Chairman of the IA, said that “Insurers are showing stronger ownership and governance, with greater discipline in choosing use cases that support business value and customer outcomes.”

“At the same time, Hong Kong’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Insurtech ecosystem has continued to strengthen, with more solution providers bringing capabilities relevant to core insurance functions. This matters because AI adoption does not happen in isolation. It depends on insurers, technology companies and the broader ecosystem progressing together,” he added.

At the Symposium, core participants shared their strategic plans in establishing Centres of Excellence, nurturing AI talents and rolling out AI solutions. Representatives from Cyberport and the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park highlighted opportunities of cross-sector collaboration, while technology companies introduced their proprietary offerings.
