Privacy & AI
Korea’s privacy regulator (PIPC) released 5 types of synthetic data generation reference models for research and corporate use. Synthetic data will be key to building data sets to train AI models while protecting privacy. The five reference models include such use cases:
Korea’s PIPC issued rulings on several AI app companies and their practices, recommending more data minimization, and better user notifications.
Hong Kong’s PDPC published the AI Model Personal Data Protection Framework. This builds on the 2021 publication of Guidance on the Ethical Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence. Director Ada Chung said the Framework positioned Hong Kong for leadership in the Southern China region on AI:
“...the Model Framework will help nurture the healthy development of AI in Hong Kong, facilitate Hong Kong’s development into an innovation and technology hub, and propel the expansion of the digital economy not only in Hong Kong but also in the Greater Bay Area.”
