Briefing Session on the Safeguarding Personal Data AI Sandbox
As the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) (including generative AI and agentic AI) continues to gain traction, many schools are exploring the potential of adopting different AI tools to enhance teaching and learning experiences. However, the use of AI also presents new challenges concerning data security and the protection of personal data.
Against this background, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) and the Digital Policy Office (DPO) jointly launched the Safeguarding Personal Data AI Sandbox (Sandbox). The Sandbox aims to provide a collaborative platform for participating schools, AI solution suppliers, the PCPD, the DPO, the Hong Kong Cyberport (Cyberport) and the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), with a view to fostering innovation while facilitating compliance with the relevant requirements of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and promoting the safe and responsible adoption of AI technologies.
At the briefing session, Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, will provide an overview of the Sandbox, including its objectives, scope, application requirements and evaluation criteria.
The Privacy Commissioner will also share some practical guidance on AI privacy protection, whereas Mr Brian SUN Yue-man, Assistant Commissioner (Data Applications) of the DPO will introduce the “Hong Kong Generative Artificial Intelligence Technical and Application Guideline”. Representatives from the Cyberport and the HKPC will also discuss security considerations for AI solutions and approaches to selecting suitable AI solutions.
Principals and teachers from primary and secondary schools are welcome to attend.
