Reaching Out to the Community － Privacy Commissioner Interviewed by Media to Explain the Global Joint Statement on AI-Generated Imagery Issued by her Office
The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, was interviewed by RTHK News’ “Hong Kong Today” on 23 February to explain the “Joint Statement on AI-Generated Imagery and the Protection of Privacy” (Joint Statement) issued by her Office (PCPD) and 60 privacy or data protection authorities around the world.
During the interview, the Privacy Commissioner noted that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems to generate indecent or malicious images and videos of individuals, especially children, has recently raised concerns of regulatory authorities in Hong Kong and other areas worldwide. As the co-chair of the Global Privacy Assembly’s International Enforcement Cooperation Working Group, the PCPD initiated the joint action to remind all organisations to develop and use AI content generation systems lawfully and safely. She emphasised that the Joint Statement reminds organisations to adopt a series of effective measures to protect the fundamental rights of data subjects, in particular children and vulnerable groups.
