Why boards must lead, not wait

Other author(s): Ryan Choy (Legal Assistant)

Partners TL Lim and Jason Leung, along with legal assistant Ryan Choy wrote an article for The Bulletin, the HKGCC’s monthly magazine, about the growing cybersecurity risks posed by AI.

The article highlights how increasingly autonomous AI agents can identify vulnerabilities, coordinate attacks and operate across multiple systems with limited human intervention. For Hong Kong businesses, it argues that AI-related cybersecurity risk should now be treated as a board-level governance issue, with particular attention given to AI-driven attacks and shadow AI within organisations. It recommends stronger accountability, vendor oversight, patching and incident-response practices, alongside clear policies governing employees’ use of AI tools.
