Reaching Out to the Community – Privacy Commissioner Interviewed by “StandUp”

The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, was interviewed by Orange News’ current affairs programme “StandUp” to explain the work done by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) on the protection of personal data privacy.

In response to the recent fraud cases relating to the hijacking of WhatsApp accounts, the Privacy Commissioner reminded users to stay vigilant of the latest tricks of fraudsters and beware of scams. During the interview, she also mentioned the privacy policies of online shopping and social media platforms, and offered tips to users to surf the internet safely.

In addition, the Privacy Commissioner pointed out in the interview the privacy risks brought by generative artificial intelligence (AI). Since the use and training of chatbots involve the collection of a vast amount of personal data, the society cannot overlook its data security risks. The Privacy Commissioner introduced the leaflet entitled “10 TIPS for Users of AI Chatbots” recently published by the PCPD to help users better protect their personal data privacy.
