The contemporary technological landscape is witnessing the emergence of generative AI, with international internet and technology companies launching their own generative AI models. Concurrently, concerns regarding personal information security have come to the fore. Users may unintentionally disclose their personal information when using generative AI services, and this unprocessed information may be used for unlawful and criminal activities. The inadequacy of prevailing regulatory frameworks and legal instruments to adequately safeguard user rights and interests is becoming increasingly evident. Consequently, there is an imperative to establish technology laws that are tailored to the unique characteristics of generative AI, utilising a hierarchical approach to safeguarding personal information. This should involve the employment of anonymisation and de-identification techniques during information processing. Moreover, it is essential to foster self-regulation among AI service providers and to enhance the regulatory oversight of personal information processing by authorities. These measures are crucial to ensure the security of personal information across various domains.
