HK privacy watchdog promotes AI security with thematic trams and website

Hong Kong's privacy watchdog is rolling out a series of promotional and educational activities to enhance the awareness of the public and organisations to artificial intelligence (AI) security, including the running of thematic trams.

Themed “AI security matters for all", the running of the thematic trams featuring “AI security matters for all” will start from today until 4 July for roving promotion.

The tram design prominently features a lock symbolising AI security, alongside various icons relating to personal data. It also includes information on the “AI security” hotline and a QR code linking to the newly launched “AI security” thematic website, thereby enabling members of the public to easily access relevant information.

The newly launched “AI Security” thematic website serves as a one-stop platform providing information on the PCPD’s guidance materials on AI, educational materials, information on regulatory developments globally, and the PCPD’s news and activities on promoting AI security. The thematic website enables members of the public and organisations to conveniently access practical tips when using AI, and the latest developments in AI governance both in Hong Kong and around the world.

During the Privacy Awareness Week 2025, the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) will also collaborate with various organisations in organising a series of thematic seminars, including “Protecting personal data privacy – challenges and opportunities in the digital era”.

Additionally, the PCPD will also distribute the PAW 2025 posters to government departments, district offices, community centres, chambers of commerce, different organisations, schools and members of the PCPD’s data protection officers’ club to promote the importance of AI security across various sectors of the society.

Ada Chung Lai-ling, the privacy commissioner for personal data, said, "The country has all along placed equal emphasis on the development and security of AI, highlighting the need to continuously advance the ‘AI Plus’ initiative to unleash the creativity of the digital economy. The Hong Kong government has also identified AI as a strategic focus and recognised it as a core driver of new quality productive forces."

"As AI is transforming every aspect of our lives and workplaces at an exponential pace, I hope that we can help members of the public and organisations better grasp the smart tips of using AI safely through the series of educational and promotional activities during PAW 2025. The core message is ‘AI Security Matters for All’, thereby safeguarding personal data privacy," she added.
