Hong Kong’s ‘AI city brain’ Will Not Tap Personal Data, Breach Privacy: John Lee Hong Kong's plan to introduce an "AI city brain" has sparked both excitement and concern about its implications for individual privacy.

While Lee reassured lawmakers that the AI city brain would not involve personal data, this assurance may ring hollow for those familiar with the blurred lines between "smart" governance and surveillance.
