Hong Kong, October 19 (China News Service) -- WiseLaw Digital Technology, a startup incubated by PolyVentures at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, in collaboration with Professor Wang Jiangyu of the Faculty of Law at City University of Hong Kong, recently launched Hong Kong's first AI-powered intelligent teaching assistant deeply integrated into university courses – "AI-Tutor Agent".

This AI teaching assistant, co-created by Lu Haitian's team (founder of WiseLaw Digital Technology and professor at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University Sustainable Technology Foundation) and Wang Jiangyu, possesses precise source tracing capabilities. Every answer can be traced back to its original source, eliminating the "illusion" problem common in general AI models and providing a solid knowledge guarantee for serious legal studies.
Lu Haitian stated that the "AI-Tutor Agent" is not merely a tool for answering questions, but also an academic partner guiding students on how to ask questions correctly and how to think critically. For teachers, the AI teaching assistant takes over a large amount of repetitive Q&A work, allowing them to devote their valuable energy to more inspiring in-depth guidance and academic discussions, thus upgrading their role from "knowledge transmitter" to "thought guide." For students, when encountering difficulties, the "AI-Tutor Agent" provides immediate, accurate, and verifiable professional answers. This immersive learning experience can enhance students' self-learning efficiency and enthusiasm for exploring knowledge.
Lu Haitian believes that WiseLaw Digital Technology's successful innovative practice provides a replicable and scalable example for the development of "AI + Education" in Hong Kong. In the future, as more such innovative applications are implemented, Hong Kong's leading position as an international education hub will be further solidified.
