Reaching Out to the Community – Privacy Commissioner Interviewed by Now News to Explain PCPD’s Compliance Report on the Use of Artificial Intelligence by Organisations

The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, was interviewed by Now News’ “News Magazine” on 23 February to explain the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD)’s compliance report on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by organisations. The Privacy Commissioner also provides tips to members of the public when they use AI.

During the interview, the Privacy Commissioner pointed out that as the development and use of AI has become increasingly common in Hong Kong, the PCPD carried out compliance checks on 28 local organisations to understand their practices in relation to the collection, use and processing of personal data in the development or use of AI, as well as their AI governance structure. No contravention of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance was found during the compliance check process.

The Privacy Commissioner reminded organisations to observe the “Guidance on the Ethical Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence” published by the PCPD earlier when they develop or use AI-related products and services. Members of the public should also protect themselves when they provide their personal data, including reading the privacy policy before using AI chatbots, and providing minimal amount of personal data, etc.
