Hong Kong · AI Regulations
The country's own AI governance approach, risk tiers, transparency duties, and its official authority.
AI-drafted, editorially reviewed. Confirm specifics with the official authority.
Hong Kong has no single comprehensive AI statute. Obligations come instead from existing law applied to AI — above all the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance — together with regulator guidance: the PCPD publishes a model personal-data protection framework for AI and guidance on using AI with personal data, the Digital Policy Office leads government digital policy, and sector regulators set their own expectations for finance and other supervised industries.
- There is no comprehensive AI act; existing law and regulator guidance apply instead.
- Using personal data in AI systems engages the PDPO and the PCPD's AI guidance.
- Supervised sectors such as finance carry additional regulator expectations.
- PCPD — Artificial Intelligence
AI guidance and the model data-protection framework.
- Digital Policy Office
