Hong Kong's technology secretary said on March 16, 2026 he has asked government departments not to install the artificial intelligence agent tool OpenClaw, citing security risks. OpenClaw, created by an Austrian coder and popular on the Chinese mainland, differs from bots like ChatGPT because it can execute real-life tasks such as sending emails, organising files or even booking flight tickets.
