Promoting AI Security – Privacy Commissioner Meets with Representatives of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions
The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, and representatives of her Office (PCPD) met, upon invitation, with Legislative Council (LegCo) Members Hon KWOK Wai-keung, BBS, JP and Hon Dennis LEUNG Tsz-wing, MH of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions (HKFTU), Vice Chairman of HKFTU and Chairman of I.T. People Association of Hong Kong, Mr LEE Kwong-yu, MH and other representatives of the HKFTU on 14 May 2025 to exchange views on the “Checklist on Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI by Employees” (Guidelines) recently published by the PCPD.
In the meeting, representatives of the PCPD explained the content of the Guidelines in detail, and were glad to note that the “Proposal on Protecting Employee Rights and Promoting Responsible AI Application” (Proposal) issued by the HKFTU considers the PCPD’s publications on artificial intelligence (AI) as a precursor to future AI regulatory requirements. The PCPD also welcomes the Proposal’s call for all organisations to refer to the “Artificial Intelligence: Model Personal Data Protection Framework” (Model Framework) to establish an AI governance structure and make reference to the Guidelines when formulating internal AI policies or guidelines for employees’ use of generative AI.
The PCPD is keen to collaborate with different industries to assist them in better understanding the contents of the Model Framework and the Guidelines. The PCPD will continue to promote the relevant content to the public, including employees, and will regularly review and update the relevant guidance published by the PCPD on AI.
If organisations and members of the public encounter any questions relating to personal data protection when they develop or use AI, they can call the PCPD’s “AI Security Hotline” at 2110 1155 for enquiries.
