Reaching Out to the Community –Privacy Commissioner Interviewed by Media to Explain the Findings of Compliance Checks Regarding Organisations’ Use of AI
The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, was interviewed by RTHK Radio 1’s “HK2000” on 20 May, in which she explained the findings of the compliance checks published by her Office (PCPD) regarding the impact of organisations’ use of artificial intelligence (AI) on personal data privacy.
To understand the latest usage of AI in Hong Kong and its impact on personal data privacy, the PCPD launched the third round of compliance checks in January 2026, covering 60 organisations. The Privacy Commissioner was pleased to note that all organisations reviewed complied with the relevant requirements of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance when collecting, using and processing personal data through AI systems. They have also adopted prudent measures to protect personal data, including conducting privacy impact assessments and implementing appropriate security measures.
She further added that among organisations that collect and/or use personal data through AI systems, around 70% do not retain the personal data collected through AI systems, while the remaining 30% have specified data retention periods. This reflects an increased awareness among organisations of the importance of protecting personal data privacy.
