Privacy Commissioner Publishes an Article entitled “Tech Firms Need to Develop AI Ethically and Responsibly”

The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, published an article entitled “Tech Firms Need to Develop AI Ethically and Responsibly”.

The Privacy Commissioner pointed out that with the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and in particular, the popularity of Generative AI-powered chatbots, tech companies have a duty to review and critically assess the implications of their AI systems on data privacy and ethics, and ensure that laws and guidelines are adhered to.

The Privacy Commissioner’s Office published the “Guidance on the Ethical Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence” earlier to provide organisations with recommended internationally recognised ethical AI principles to facilitate their compliance with the requirements of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and mitigate the relevant privacy and ethical risks.

The article was published in HK01, Hong Kong Economic Journal, Hong Kong Economic Times, Ming Pao, Sing Tao Daily, South China Morning Post and Ta Kung Pao on 17 April 2023.
