Story summary

Hong Kong's Labour Secretary Chris Sun Yuk-han has expressed concern about the increasing disruption caused by artificial intelligence (AI) on the job market. Speaking at a recent forum, Sun stated that higher education alone is no longer enough to guarantee career success in the age of AI. According to Sun, what it takes for someone to be successful today includes not only AI fluency but also trade-specific professional skills and soft skills such as communication. This concept, which he refers to as the "paradox of AI fluency", highlights the need for young people to gain a broad range of skills beyond just academic qualifications. To address this issue, Sun called for greater cross-sector efforts to help young people gain job experience and develop the necessary skills.
