Promoting AI Security – Privacy Commissioner Delivers Speech at Hong Kong News-Expo Seminar
The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, delivered a speech on 2 August at the seminar entitled “AI Safety Matters: Addressing New Privacy Challenges in the AI Era” organised by the Hong Kong News-Expo. The seminar attracted approximately 90 participants, both on-site and online.
During the seminar, the Privacy Commissioner highlighted that with the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), the use of AI has become increasingly prevalent. At the same time, privacy risks have emerged, including data breaches, excessive data collection, unauthorised use of personal data and issues related to data accuracy. She urged all sectors to remain vigilant and manage AI systems responsibly.
In her speech, the Privacy Commissioner cited several real-life cases to underscore the importance of protecting personal data privacy when using AI. These included the use of AI deepfake technology for fraud relevant purposes, data breaches by AI chatbot platforms, and the use of patients’ medical records for AI training by technology companies without consent. In addition, she also introduced her Office’s publications to the participants, including “10 TIPS for Users of AI Chatbots”, the “Checklist on Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI by Employees”, and the “Artificial Intelligence: Model Personal Data Protection Framework”.
