"Future Leaders of AI and Privacy Protection Training Programme"
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) has launched the "Student Ambassador for Privacy Protection Programme - Partnering Schools Recognition Scheme 2024" (SAP) and encourages all secondary schools to join the network of "partnering schools" to foster a culture of respecting and protecting personal data privacy on campus. The SAP is supported by the Business-School Partnership Programme of the Education Bureau, Microsoft Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Association for Computer Education.
The SAP consists of five "privacy protection missions" and participating schools are required to arrange their students to complete the missions jointly or independently. On top of the anti-doxxing mission, given the rising popularity of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots, the PCPD also includes the following special mission to raise the awareness of students to the privacy risks brought by AI:
Future Leaders of AI and Privacy Protection Training Programme
The theme of the Future Leaders of AI and Privacy Protection Training Programme (Future Leaders Programme) is "Small Leaders, Big Wisdom, Joins Hands to Build the AI Future". The Future Leaders Programme enables participating students learn about personal data privacy management programme and the standards of ethical use of AI through various activities, including a topical seminar, exchanges with data protection officers and an AI interactive workshop presented by Microsoft Hong Kong. The activities were designed to prepare the participants for future career developments in the AI era.
The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, said, "According to a local survey, nearly 80% of youngsters in Hong Kong have used generative AI. It is crucial for youngsters to understand how to protect their own personal data and respect the privacy of others while enjoying the benefits brought by the new technology."
Partnering schools of the SAP will receive diamond, gold, silver and bronze awards, while students who have completed the Future Leaders Programme will be awarded a certificate. Students with outstanding performance will be recognised as "Star Performers" of the Future Leaders Programme, with prizes awarded to them.
