Cross-Industry Association in Hong Kong Releases Guide for Responsible AI Use

An artificial intelligence association formed by leaders from various industries in Hong Kong has published a new guide to promote the responsible use of intelligence.

The Hong Kong Artificial Intelligence Association published a comprehensive 209-page guide on Thursday titled "Guidelines for the Enterprise and Corporate Responsible Adoption of Artificial Intelligence." Noting that with the rise of autonomous AI agents, organizations need to implement rules to manage them, the association called for the appointment of a senior executive responsible for AI initiatives and the assignment of specific owners for use cases.

Neil Tan, the group's founder and chairman, emphasized that AI has evolved from merely generating content to taking action itself, pointing out that agents can access corporate emails, cloud drives, and financial accounts. Founded in 2024, the association brings together members from different industries to produce solutions for the responsible use of AI.

The published guidelines also introduced the concept of "know your agent," which requires companies to define an AI's purpose, approved tools, data access limits, prohibited actions, and emergency plans prior to deployment.
