Alliance base

Make Hong Kong AItrustworthy.
Treat safety, clear responsibility and public confidence as infrastructure for innovation, market access and industry growth.
Make AI developed and used in Hong Kong more trustworthy through disclosure, human oversight and reviewable evidence.
Advocate clear, evidence-based governance that protects people while enabling responsible innovation and industry growth.
Build four practical reference models covering responsibility, transparency, lifecycle safety and human-centred public value.
Four models fortrustworthy AI.
These in-development models translate recurring governance themes—responsibility, transparency, lifecycle safety and human-centred value—into practical questions. They do not yet represent certification, assurance or an approved technical standard.
Governance & accountability
Named ownership, risk-proportionate oversight, escalation, auditability and responsibilities that cannot be outsourced.
Transparency & evidence
Disclose when AI is involved; explain material limits, data provenance and outputs; preserve the right to know and seek human review.
Safety & resilience
Lifecycle safeguards for data and model custody, access, testing, monitoring, incidents, third parties and operational change.
Human-centred value
Protect rights and welfare, accessibility and meaningful human judgement; test outcomes against real needs and measurable public benefit.
Progress withits status visible.

ProposedTurn principles intoreview questions.
Choose a principle to see the questions it brings into an AI project. This learning aid is not a certification or assurance score.
Who owns the decision?
Accountability begins with named responsibility, an escalation path and a reviewable record.
- Is a decision owner named?
- Which duties remain with the deploying organisation?
- Is evidence retained for review?
