Hong Kong police warn AI poses new national security threat

Outgoing Hong Kong deputy police commissioner Andrew Kan Kai-yan warns AI poses a new national security threat, echoing mainland security minister Chen Yixin's call for robust risk prevention and global AI governance. The warning signals a policy shift toward treating AI as a security domain, potentially leading to tighter regulation and surveillance in Hong Kong. The development is part of a broader mainland campaign to frame AI as a national security issue.
