Hong Kong police unveil AI-driven national security learning platform for primary students

The Hong Kong police introduced an AI-powered national security education system, NSmarties, to pupils at a ceremony in Ap Lei Chau.

Police officials in Hong Kong rolled out the NSmarties AI Interactive Platform, an artificial-intelligence based national-security education system, during a ceremony at Precious Blood Primary School in Ap Lei Chau attended by roughly 700 pupils. Developed together with Hong Kong Qianfan Technology, the platform enables children to generate custom narratives that reflect China's "holistic approach to national security," a doctrine promoted by President Xi Jinping covering politics, economy, ecology and technology.

Audio segments feature police commissioner Joe Chow and security chief Chris Tang, who explain the city’s national-security laws and related information. The launch was described as a milestone for bringing national-security teaching into schools through innovative technology. The program, first shown on National Security Education Day in April, follows a broader push to strengthen such education after the 2020 national-security law was imposed.

Why it matters

It shows how Hong Kong is using AI to embed national-security messaging in school curricula, reflecting broader political control efforts.
