    Privacy watchdog's guidance on deepfake technology / US-Venezuela tensions / HIV testing month

    On Thursday's Backchat, we talked to the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data on its new guidelines that address the misuse of AI-generated deepfake technology.
    After that, we turned our attention to the Caribbean, where tensions continue to mount between the United States and Venezuela. US President Donald Trump recently announced a blockade against "sanctioned oil tankers" coming in and out of the South American coastal nation. Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro has accused Washington of trying to force a "regime change".
    And we wrapped-up the programme by learning more about the Department of Health's "HIV Testing Month".

    Have AI bots gone rogue? / Red bugs spotted across HK / WestK Shanghai Week 2025

    Presenters:Azam Khan and Philip Wong

    On Thursday's Backchat, we looked into the latest tech developments in which AI could be seen going rogue.
    According to recent reports, AI chatbot models are becoming dangerous and showing disturbing new traits, picking up behaviour like deception, scheming, and even threats against their creators.
    How worrying is this phenomenon? Is it concerning that firms are continuing to push ahead with developing ever-more-powerful models when they lack a full understanding of their creations’ inner workings?
    After the break, we turned our attention to swamps of big, red ants that have recently emerged in Sha Tin, Tai Wai, Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai. More commonly known as “red fire ants”, experts say their secretions can trigger severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
    And finally, we spoke to the head of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority to learn more about the WestK Shanghai Week, which wrapped up successfully last month. We also found out about WestK's upcoming plans to further expand its regional and global footprint.
