中四生AI平台藥倍安心獲獎後惹原創及私隱爭議 甄選機構指數據屬網上藥物資料庫及模擬病人資料 學生賽後才與科技公司聯絡
HKAGE in the News 【明報】由中學生研發、以病人資料透過人工智能(AI)交叉檢查醫生藥物處方的網頁平台「藥倍安心(Medisafe)」獲多個創科獎項,包括政府數字辦上屆香港資訊及通訊科技獎,亦曾以「教育局代表隊(中學生)」身分獲第50屆「日內瓦國際發明展」銀獎。教育局資助機構香港資優教育學苑委託「香港新一代文化協會」為日內瓦國際發明展比賽安排甄選及培訓。資優教育學苑及新一代文化協會均指,涉事學生為將項目商業化,而與美國科技機構聯絡,指該機構服務時間為涉事學生參與「2024香港資訊及通訊科技獎」及「第50屆日內瓦國際發明展」之後。對於使用病人資料的質疑,學苑及協會均指由網上藥物資料庫及模擬病人資料數據組成,研究項目中的姓名全屬虛構。 香港資優學苑回覆本報指,應教育局要求向本地比賽主辦機構了解,包括檢視甄選過程、評審機制,就回應投訴事宜所提交的證據,以及聯絡日內瓦國際發明展的主辦單位代表,稱指理解社會各界對教育發展及學生活動的高度關注,認為學生正處於學習與成長的重要階段,更需要正面、包容的環境與社會支持。任何未經核實的言論,皆可能對學生造成不必要的壓力與傷害。Update Date:2025-07-08
