Hong Kong's Ada Chung Defends Existing Data Law

Published on 8.2.25

  Hong Kong's privacy chief, Ada Chung, believes there is no immediate need to amend the law to specifically target AI-generated deepfake pornography, citing the existing Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance as sufficient to handle misuse of personal data in such images. The ordinance, which is principle-based and technology-neutral, applies to cases involving the collection or disclosure of data, including those related to deepfakes. Chung's office has launched a criminal investigation into a recent high-profile case at the University of Hong Kong, handling complaints about AI-generated porn in the same way as other data-related offenses.
