The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (the Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, published an article entitled “The Privacy and Ethical Risks of Generative AI cannot be Ignored” at OneTrust DataGuidance to discuss the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI), while highlighting the privacy and ethical risks that should be considered regarding its use as well as the evolving regulatory landscape of AI.
The Privacy Commissioner’s Office published the “Guidance on the Ethical Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence” in August 2021 to help organisations develop and use AI systems in a privacy-friendly and ethical manner.
In the article, the Privacy Commissioner calls for all stakeholders to join hands in ensuring that applicable laws are complied with and core ethical principles such as fairness, transparency and security are embedded in the development and use of AI. The Privacy Commissioner also reminds tech companies that they bear responsibilities in the first place to ensure the lawful and ethical development and use of AI, so that the new technology is used for human good.
