Exploring new channels for connection is important for enhancing communication.

That seems to be one of the major themes of the first “new style Legco dialogue” with Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu, held last week after lawmakers returned from their study trip to Beijing.

Legislative Council members were clearly eager to share ideas with Lee, beginning with suggesting that the city’s 1823 public inquiry and complaint hotline be revamped and modelled after Beijing’s 12345 complaints hotline.

Given the Hong Kong government’s artificial intelligence (AI) push, developing an AI-assisted inquiry and complaint hotline to better serve residents makes sense.

My experience of visiting the post office has always been pleasant; the staff are knowledgeable, efficient, friendly and ready to serve.

Useful context, not penalties

Qualifiers such as may, might, or reportedly are disclosed as technique but do not add framing-risk points by themselves.

That could mean the government’s iAM Smart app needs a revamp to be truly “smart” enough for a city that boasts of the high standard of its connectivity, efficiency and technology.
