𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐢‑𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐈 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐂

Navigating the role of an Independent Non‑Executive Director (#INED) in the AI era presents both new opportunities and new responsibilities. As AI, data, and cybersecurity risks evolve rapidly, many of these challenges fall outside the traditional experience of INEDs.

To stay effective, I’ve been strengthening my capabilities in AI, Data Governance, and Cybersecurity, ensuring I can provide meaningful oversight in a world where technology is reshaping every control and every risk.

At the same time, the wisdom and judgment of seasoned INEDs remain irreplaceable. This is why I joined HKiNEDA and completed their INED certification — to learn from a community deeply committed to governance excellence.

Recently, we had the privilege of visiting the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption (#ICAC) to learn from their decades of experience in combating bribery and corruption. I tried the famous ICAC coffee as a guest, not a suspect. It tastes good.「好嘢值得慢慢啱」are the words behind me.

Since its establishment in 1973, ICAC has played a defining role in shaping Hong Kong’s global reputation as a clean, trusted, and world‑leading city. Their work is a powerful reminder that:
Good governance must be continuously protected, renewed, and strengthened — especially in an era of digital transformation and AI.

My sincere thanks to:
– Ricky Lai, Anna Lam and David Yip from ICAC for their insightful sharing
– Dr. Lawrence WONG and Roy Lo from HKiNEDA for organizing this meaningful learning session
– The dedicated ICAC team, whose commitment across generations continues to safeguard Hong Kong’s integrity.

Your work inspires all of us who serve in governance roles.
