With generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) reshaping industries worldwide, a fundamental  question arises: how should we drive AI governance and ensure the responsible use of AI? Team Prologue was delighted to coordinate the 【Hong Kong AI Governance Conference - Shaping the Future of Responsible GenAI in HK】for Hong Kong Association of Interactive Marketing (AIM).

Ir Tony Wong, JP, Commissioner for Digital Policy (DPO), and Ms Ada Chung, Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD), delivered keynote presentations to shed light on latest guidelines and policies surrounding AI governance. Key stakeholders  from technology, business, and marketing sectors explored opportunities, addressed challenges posed by GenAI, and charted a path toward ethical adoption and sustainable AI governance in Hong Kong.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is rapidly reshaping industries on a global scale, presenting groundbreaking opportunities while also raising new challenges related to authenticity, privacy, copyright, and regulatory compliance. To help various industries better understand the latest GenAI policies and AI governance, and to promote responsible AI development and application within Hong Kong’s unique business and regulatory environment, Team Prologue supported AIM in organizing【Hong Kong AI Governance Conference】on  May 30, 2025.

The event also featured distinguished speakers from the government, technology enterprises, business, and marketing sectors, who shared valuable insights on government policies and industry perspectives regarding AI governance.  The conference attracted over 150 participants and fostered valuable discussions to deliberate the future direction of AI governance in Hong Kong.

The event included three panel discussions: “Responsible AI Development in Business Perspective”, “Cultivating AI Literacy and ensuring Privacy Protection in AI Development” and “Encouraging creativity with thoughtful copyright safeguards”.

Mr Francis Fong, Chairman of AIM, noted the widespread adoption of GenAI across industries, along with emerging risks and governance challenges. He hopes the conference can serve as a bridge to encourage constructive discussions on local AI governance among the society.

Professor Sun Dong, JP, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry emphasized in his officiating speech that, establishing a robust AI governance framework is essential for ensuring AI drives positive economic development and benefits society.
