Why AILiteracy? The Hong Kong Advantage

The 2024 Policy Address and HKMA's Gen AI Sandbox underscore AI's role in driving efficiency, compliance, and innovation. Yet, 39% of Hong Kong banks are only beginning to adopt generative AI, and a 52% insurance literacy gap persists among consumers (HKMA, 2024; HK Insurance Literacy Report, 2024).

The major challenges of adapting AI Strategies
Understanding the hurdles to successful AI implementation
Technical Challenges
AI Integration Challenges: Legacy Systems and Data Readiness
The number one challenge that enterprises encounter when adopting AI tools such as ChatGPT is the issue of technology integration and data foundation. Many legacy systems struggle to interface with new AI platforms, and ensuring that these tools fit smoothly into existing workflows can be challenging. In addition, the reliability and quality of the content output from the AI model is a concern – generative AI can sometimes produce erroneous or inconsistent responses that require mechanisms to monitor them. Data readiness within the enterprise is also insufficient, and poor data quality and infrastructure can limit the effectiveness of AI. According to a study, about half of the enterprises in the Asia Pacific region are only at the rudimentary level of data maturity and need to prioritize improving data quality to support AI models. Currently, most companies prefer to start with third-party off-the-shelf AI solutions and experiment with local features such as internal chatbots, code collaboration, translation, or summarization. Although this approach lowers the barrier to entry, in the long run, how to deeply integrate AI into the core business is still a technical challenge.
Employee Acceptance and Trust
Employee Mindset: Key to Successful AI Adoption
The mindset and culture of employees is an important factor in the success of AI. Many companies have introduced AI to find that employees are anxious and resistant, fearing that their jobs will be replaced by automation. This fear can lead to resistance to using AI and reluctance to cooperate with new tools and processes. Studies have shown that if there is a lack of employee engagement and communication during the AI adoption process, their trust in AI will be greatly reduced, and even if AI can bring positive benefits, it may be rejected. On the other hand, there are also doubts about employees' trust in AI tools themselves: for example, models such as ChatGPT can sometimes produce inaccurate or even fictitious content, and employees who lack judgment may become overly reliant or completely distrustful of AI. This vague perception of AI's capabilities and limitations needs to be addressed with clear training and guidance that enables employees to use AI with the necessary care.
training Resources and Skills Gaps
Bridging the AI Skills Gap in Hong Kong
The lag in AI skills development is another pain point for businesses. Most Hong Kong companies have not been involved in generative AI in the past, resulting in a significant gap in employees' digital skills and AIliteracy. According to a survey of HR practitioners in Hong Kong, only 44% of HR respondents feel they have or know how to acquire the AI skills they will need in the next 3-5 years, and 40% do not think they are adequately prepared. At the same time, 31% of HR professionals said they were concerned about "how to get training on how to use AI tools effectively", indicating that there is not enough training resources at the employee level to master the new tools. If companies don't provide systematic learning opportunities, employees may not be able to improve their skills, even if they want to. In addition, the lack of in-house AI experts or mentors to guide is also a problem. HR departments need to think about how to establish an AI knowledge transfer and support mechanism to continue to close this skills gap.
Privacy & Compliance Risks
Navigating AI: Data Privacy and Compliance Challenges
While promoting AI is being promoted, the challenges of data privacy and regulatory compliance are not to be taken lightly by the top of the business. Generative AI tools, often provided by third parties, require the upload of corporate data for processing, raising concerns about the leakage of sensitive information. Due to confidentiality concerns, many organizations have banned or restricted employees from using AI services such as ChatGPT to prevent confidential data from being leaked through AI platforms. In 2025, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) in Hong Kong will publish a "Checklist of Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI by Employees" to assist enterprises in formulating internal policies that clearly regulate the types and purposes of AI tools that can be used (e.g. content creation, summarization, etc.), as well as the restrictions on data entry, retention methods and periods, so as to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance. The guidelines also emphasize the responsibility of employees to verify the correctness and bias of AI-generated content and avoid directly believing in misinformation.
In addition to privacy concerns, there are also compliance challenges in the industry: financial regulators require banks to be accountable for AI decisions, avoid unfair bias, and allow customers to opt out of AI services. For many executives, striking a balance between driving innovation and ensuring compliance is a challenge in promoting AI adoption. Strategies to move AI from experimentation to practicality require robust governance frameworks while maintaining agility.
