Key Challenges

  • Bias and Fairness: AI systems can perpetuate biases if not properly designed and monitored.
  • Lack of Regulation: The rapid pace of AI development often outpaces the creation of ethical and security standards.

Key Challenges

  • Identity Theft: Criminals exploit weak authentication mechanisms to steal digital identities.
  • Sophisticated Fraud Schemes: Fraudsters use advanced tactics, such as phishing and social engineering, to deceive victims.

HKISG's Role

  • Secure Authentication: Advocate for the adoption of multi-factor authentication (MFA) and biometric technologies.
  • Fraud Detection Tools: Partner with technology providers to develop and promote tools for detecting and preventing cyber fraud.
  • Public Awareness Campaigns: Launch campaigns to educate the public about common fraud schemes and how to avoid them.
