The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, published an article titled “Safeguarding Personal Data Privacy in AI Era: Intersection between Global Developments and Local Efforts” in Hong Kong Lawyer.
In the article, the Privacy Commissioner elaborated on the global trend of anchoring artificial intelligence (AI) innovation in security. The Privacy Commissioner also highlighted the efforts of her Office in advancing AI security worldwide, including signing the “Joint Statement on Building Trustworthy Data Governance Frameworks to Encourage Development of Innovative and Privacy-protecting AI” with 19 privacy or data protection authorities worldwide in September this year, as well as co-chairing the Global Privacy Assembly’s “Ethics and Data Protection in AI Working Group” to contribute to international discussions on AI security.
The Privacy Commissioner further pointed out that in active alignment with the national strategy to accelerate AI development, the Chief Executive’s Policy Address this year aptly advocates the wide-scale application and development of AI across different sectors to boost overall efficiency. Another welcome move is the tasking of the Department of Justice with co-ordinating the responsible bureaux to review the relevant law, complementing the development and need for wider application of AI.
