[Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission Plans to Provide Guidance to Assist Institutions in Implementing Proactive AI Regulatory Principles and Shorten Licensing Processing Time] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on September 5, Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) CEO Julia Leung stated that artificial intelligence (AI) and the internationalization of the renminbi are the 'dual engines' driving economic growth and are key forces propelling the Hong Kong financial market into its next stage of development. Hong Kong should unleash AI's potential through responsible innovation and strengthen AI governance. As generative AI rapidly evolves into proactive AI, regulation should further prioritize human accountability at the system design level. The SFC is considering providing additional guidance to help institutions implement existing regulatory principles within proactive AI systems. This is not aimed at regulating technical design details but rather at clarifying the regulatory outcomes the SFC expects to achieve: clearly delineating responsibilities and enforcing effective human oversight, establishing controlled access permissions and defining application scopes, conducting robust testing before deployment and ongoing monitoring thereafter, ensuring operational resilience, and promptly reporting and addressing issues when they arise. Additionally, the SFC will continue its digital transformation efforts, including shortening licensing processing times and detecting misconduct and fraudulent activities at an earlier stage.
