The University of Hong Kong and the Global Cybersecurity Alliance jointly establish a Research Center for Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity

Hong Kong, October 19, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- The University of Hong Kong ( HKU ) and the Global Cybersecurity Alliance ( GCSA ) announced the establishment of a joint Center for Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Research. This center will integrate the top-notch research capabilities and professional resources of both institutions to advance cutting-edge research, promote the deep integration of scientific research findings with real-world security scenarios, and explore new technologies, methods, and governance frameworks in the field of artificial intelligence ( AI ) and cybersecurity.

Professor Ho Chen, a chair of Cybersecurity at the Faculty of Computing and Data Science at the University of Hong Kong, will serve as the acting director of the center. The center will bring together researchers from the University of Hong Kong, GCSA, and international cooperation institutions, and will also invite experts in the fields of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and technological governance to participate in research and advisory work, in order to promote interdisciplinary and inter-institutional collaboration.

The center is committed to bridging academic research with industrial practice and plans to gradually release research findings, security benchmarks, and open-source tools in the fields of artificial intelligence and network security. The key research directions of the center include:

  • Model-endogenous security and trustworthy artificial intelligence: Enhancing the security, explainability, and robustness of large language models and generative artificial intelligence.
  • AI Driven Automated Threat Defense: Utilizing Artificial Intelligence to Enhance Perception and Automated Defense Against Complex Cyberattacks.
  • Security Assessment of Cutting-edge Technologies: Assessing potential security risks posed by next-generation technologies such as embodied intelligence, robotics, and the Internet of Things ( IoT ).
  • Global AI Security Standards and Governance: Researching AI security assessment standards and governance mechanisms to promote international dialogue and cooperation.

He Chen stated: "The rapid evolution of AI has brought about unprecedented security risks and governance challenges. This center will serve as a bridge connecting academic research, security testing, and industrial applications, and through interdisciplinary and international cooperation, it will accelerate the transformation and implementation of AI security research."

BRICS Claimer: Europe has a 'lazy, colonial mentality'; India and China still haven't received sufficient attention
Jim O'Neill, who proposed the concept of BRICS 25 years ago, stated that the importance of India and China on the global stage is still underestimated, while Europe and the United States are still slow to respond to the new pattern of the world economy. He believes that as China and India continue to grow, the West will ultimately have to re-establish more pragmatic relationships with other regions of the world.

Marqeta and Coinbase Expand Strategic Cooperation: There Are Still Several Hurdles to Clear Before Stablecoin Balances Can Be Used for Daily Card Transactions
Stablecoins can be transferred on-chain around the clock, but for a card to be used for smooth payments at ordinary merchants, it still has to go through processes such as card issuance, authorization, exchange, settlement, and compliance checks. On October 16th, card-issuing platforms Marqeta and Coinbase announced an expansion of their existing cooperation, planning to allow corporate customers to issue cards funded by their stablecoin balances. According to the division of labor disclosed by both parties, Coinbase provides custody services and the exchange of digital assets for fiat currency, Base's network handles the on-chain settlement infrastructure, while Marqeta is responsible for card issuance and payment processing, as well as managing relationships with banks and card organizations. The press release outlines the goal of allowing corporations to fund projects around the clock and enabling cardholders to consume at merchants that support these cards globally.

EU tourism stays increase to 3.1 billion nights: The popularity is back, but revenue distribution is uneven
The recovery of the tourism industry is often simplified to increased numbers of people at airports and rising hotel prices, but a more reliable measure in statistics is the number of overnight stays. On October 16, the European Union Statistics Office announced that in 2025, EU tourism accommodation establishments recorded approximately 3.1 billion overnight stays, an increase of 4.1% compared to 2024 and 26.5% compared to 2015. The "number of nights" mentioned here refers to the total number of nights that guests stayed at the accommodations, not the number of individual travelers; if the same person stays for five nights in a row, it is counted as five overnight stays. The data shows that the overall demand for accommodation continues to grow, but it does not directly indicate the profits of each hotel, the feelings of residents in each tourist city, or whether tourists' actual spending has also increased accordingly.

Brazilian giants bring AI into everyday banking services: 300,000 users give it a try, but the challenge lies not in the chat box
It's no longer news for banks to integrate generative AI into their customer service channels. The real challenge lies in ensuring that this technology remains consistent and controllable when it comes to bill viewing, credit card inquiries, insurance processing, and customer transfers to human representatives, without allowing costs to get out of control. On October 16th, OpenAI released a case study of Itaú Bank in Brazil, detailing the phased progress of its conversational service ia.i and its internal governance platform IARA. In the first phase, the service reached approximately 300,000 customers, and the bank aims to cover all its customers by the end of 2026. These two initiatives should not be confused as the same thing. What makes this case study particularly noteworthy is not so much the fact that the bank used a large model, but rather how a major financial institution integrated the model with its customer services.
