Synergy between Privacy and Compliance



I am honored to serve as the moderator for the panel discussion on “Smart Digital Identity: Balancing Privacy and Data Security in Cross-Border Finance” at AI+ Power 2025 · BGOV. As one of the advisors for the fintech theme of this event, I am excited about solutions that break boundaries while protecting users.
A heartfelt thank you to our outstanding speakers:
– Dr. Alan Cheung (Chief Director, ASTRI – Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute)
– Lewis Fung (MD, SenseTime HK & Macau)
– Willis Yung (CISO, PAObank)
…and to the exceptional host, Xaviera Yau, for perfectly guiding the entire session!
Key insights from our discussion:
🔒 Synergy between Privacy and Compliance
China’s RealDID blockchain system allows mainland users to access Hong Kong financial services anonymously through cryptographic proof—demonstrating that privacy and regulation can coexist.
🤝 Achieving Borderless Security through Federated Learning
Institutions can now share encrypted model updates (rather than raw data) to train cross-border anti-money laundering/fraud detection models, marking a breakthrough in global collaboration without sacrificing privacy.
⚠️ Winning the Arms Race Against Deepfakes
Generative AI has intensified synthetic identity fraud (voice/video), but countermeasures are emerging:
– AI-driven liveness detection
– Behavioral biometrics
– Real-time anomaly scoring
(As defenses advance, threats evolve. Proactive measures are essential for survival.)
The Future of KYC?
Reduce data hoarding and strengthen intelligent trust-building.
Thank you to AI+ Power 2025 for focusing on this critical dialogue. Let’s keep moving forward!
