Hong Kong SARAI regulation

Regulation Status

• No AI-specific regulation yet.
• Sectoral regulators (e.g., Privacy Commissioner, Monetary Authority, Securities and Futures Commission) have issued non-binding guidelines, frameworks, and circulars addressing AI governance, data privacy, generative AI, and financial sector risks. Existing laws such as the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and Copyright Ordinance are being reviewed and updated to address AI-related issues. The government is actively consulting on copyright and data governance reforms and has announced plans to review broader legislation to support AI adoption. AI governance in Hong Kong is currently driven by non-binding principles, sectoral guidance, and ongoing legislative reviews, not by a unified AI law.
