In recent times, the OpenClaw (nicknamed "Xiao Long Xia") app has witnessed an unprecedented surge in downloads and active usage. The Hong Kong Digital Policy Office has taken cognizance of its potential risks, which encompass issues such as excessive app permissions, data leakage, and vulnerabilities in system security. It strongly advises relevant organizations and individual users to adopt stringent security measures during the deployment and utilization of the app. These measures include reinforcing network controls, bolstering credential management practices, meticulously managing plugin sources, and maintaining vigilance over patches and security updates.

The Hong Kong government accords significant importance to the governance and risk mitigation of artificial intelligence applications. It has developed a suite of documents, including the 'AI Ethics Framework' and the 'Guidelines for Generative AI Technology and Applications in Hong Kong,' along with a comprehensive 'Government Information Technology Security Policy and Guidelines.' These frameworks mandate that all departments undertake thorough risk assessments prior to the installation of any software.
