AI & Agentic Economy

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY & AI LAW

Legal frameworks for autonomous AI systems, agentic commerce, and RWA-AI convergence. Alan Wong LLP advises on the emerging regulatory landscape shaping the next economy in Hong Kong and beyond.

/ PRACTICE AREAS

01 — AI Agent Ownership & Liability

When an AI agent causes harm or enters into obligations, who bears legal responsibility? We advise on liability allocation between developers, deployers, and principals - and structure contracts to reflect the realities of autonomous decision-making under Hong Kong law.

02 — Autonomous Transactions & Contract Formation

AI agents are already executing trades, placing orders, and agreeing to terms without human sign-off. We advise on the enforceability of agent-executed agreements, delegation and authority frameworks, and how to design agentic systems that meet Hong Kong's legal standards for contract formation.

03 — AML/CFT for Autonomous Systems

Agentic systems that move value - whether in fiat, tokenised assets, or stablecoins - face AML/CFT obligations that were not designed with autonomy in mind. We help clients map their agent pipelines against AMLO and VASP licensing requirements, and design compliance architectures that work at machine speed.

04 — RWA-AI Convergence

The convergence of real-world asset tokenisation and autonomous AI agents creates a new asset management paradigm - where agents hold, trade, and manage tokenised positions on behalf of principals. We advise on custody structures, DAO governance, and the evolving regulatory treatment of AI-managed RWA portfolios under Hong Kong's SFC framework.
