The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-Ling, published an article titled “Harnessing AI in accounting: Guidelines for the use of generative AI by employees” on A Plus, the quarterly magazine of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
In the article, the Privacy Commissioner highlighted that the privacy risks associated with the use of AI should not be neglected and sensitive data stored in generative AI systems may be targeted by cyber criminals. It is important that the accounting firms develop internal AI policies or guidelines to ensure AI can be used in an effective, safe and responsible manner.
In addition, the Privacy Commissioner gave an overview of the recommendations provided in the “Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI by Employees” (Guidelines) published by the PCPD. The Guidelines were intended to assist organisations in the formulation of internal policies or guidelines on the use of generative AI in order to comply with the requirements of the Personal Data (privacy) Ordinance.
