Hong Kong government to adopt city’s own ChatGPT-style tool after OpenAI further blocks access


Innovation and technology chief Sun Dong says AI application developed for government use, but will gradually be opened to all residents.

A spokesman for the government’s chief information officer said the auxiliary writing function of the new system could help to draft, translate and summarise documents, and improve the efficiency of public service staff. Sun said last year that the government had no plans to adopt ChatGPT for internal use because of potential information security risks and that OpenAI had not given official approval for the use of its model in the city. Hong Kong and the mainland, in a separate move, launched a pilot scheme last December to enable easier cross-border data transfers in the Greater Bay Area.
