Hong Kong to Open Robot Store

Hong Kong is set to launch its inaugural convenience store managed entirely by a humanoid robot, marking a significant step in the city's adoption of artificial intelligence.

This initiative is designed to integrate AI into daily life and enhance public understanding of advanced technology.

The city's leader has also defended a tougher civil service appraisal system, aiming to bolster public trust, while a local school is seeking a new head with 'excellent character' after a principal was fired over a swearing incident in Singapore.

These developments reflect Hong Kong's dual focus on technological advancement and governance.
