the Chief Executive's 2025 Policy Address
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) welcomes the array of policy initiatives on promoting the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and cross-boundary data flow set out in the Chief Executive's Policy Address.
The Chief Executive announced in the Policy Address a series of measures to further promote the development of AI and data science, including the implementation of AI government services with strong emphasis on safety risk prevention, and attaching great importance to the governance and risk management of AI applications. The PCPD supports the Government's policy initiative to set up an AI Efficacy Enhancement Team and set out an "AI literacy" learning framework, and will continue to proactively promote the safe and healthy development of AI, including carrying out promotional and educational activities, further publicising guidelines related to the development and use of AI, including the "Guidance on the Ethical Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence", the "10 TIPS for Users of AI Chatbots", the "Artificial Intelligence: Model Personal Data Protection Framework" and the "Checklist on Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI by Employees" issued earlier, as well as conducting compliance checks on the use of AI, and continuing to promote "AI Security" Hotline (2110 1155) and thematic webpage. On the international front, the PCPD, as the co-chair of the Ethics and Data Protection in AI Working Group of the Global Privacy Assembly, will continue to strengthen its exchanges and cooperation with the international counterparts, contributing to the formulation of international resolution on addressing privacy risks associated with AI applications.
Furthermore, the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, being a member of the Hong Kong Expert Group on Cross-boundary Data Collaboration, warmly welcomes the Government's initiatives on cross-boundary data flow. The PCPD has worked together with the Cyberspace Administration of China and the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau to formulate the facilitation measures of the Standard Contract for Cross-boundary Flow of Personal Information Within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Mainland, Hong Kong), and will continue to support the Government in fostering the safe and orderly cross-boundary flow of personal data.
