The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, was interviewed by RTHK Radio 1’s “HK2000” on 12 May to explain the results of the compliance checks conducted by her Office (PCPD) on 60 organisations regarding their use of artificial intelligence (AI) from February to May 2025.
The Privacy Commissioner said that the compliance checks covered organisations across various sectors and aimed to understand whether the organisations complied with the relevant requirements of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO) in the collection, use, and processing of personal data in the use of AI. The results showed that the organisations are prudent in their use of AI and have implemented appropriate measures to ensure data security.
The Privacy Commissioner reminded organisations of the importance of complying with the requirements of the PDPO when using AI for the processing of personal data, as well as formulating strategies for the development or use of AI and establishing internal governance structures for AI. She also encouraged organisations to make reference to the “Checklist on Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI by Employees” issued by the PCPD to devise their internal AI policies.
