Existing ordinance covers misuse of personal data in deepfake images, privacy commissioner Ada Chung says
The head of Hong Kong’s privacy watchdog has said there is no immediate need to amend the law to specifically target the creation of AI-generated deepfake pornography, stressing that existing legislation is sufficient to handle offences.
In her most detailed comments following a recent high-profile case at the University of Hong Kong, Ada Chung Lai-ling said on Saturday that because the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance was “principle-based” and “technology-neutral”, it applied to the misuse of personal data in deepfake images.
“The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance is still applicable … For now, we do not see a need to amend the law,” Chung said at a seminar at the Hong Kong News-Expo.
