香港最大型上市公司的高管普遍严重缺乏技术专长。国卫浩华香港最新发布的一份报告显示，董事中具备人工智能或网络安全专业技能的不足1%。
Executives at Hong Kong’s largest listed companies have a severe lack of technological expertise, with fewer than 1 per cent of directors possessing dedicated artificial intelligence or cybersecurity skills, according to a new report by Grant Thornton Hong Kong.
该机构第15次年度《企业管治回顾》调查了恒生综合指数中的100家大型上市公司，发现59%的公司将网络安全或人工智能视为主要业务风险。然而，只有11%的公司设立了专门负责监督数字威胁和技术整合的董事会委员会。
The firm’s 15th annual Corporate Governance Review – which surveyed 100 major listed firms on Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Composite Index – found that 59 per cent of companies view cybersecurity or AI as principal business risks. Yet only 11 per cent had established specialised board committees to oversee digital threats and technology integration.
尽管香港交易及结算所有限公司（港交所）去年推出了更新后的《企业管治守则》标准，明确要求董事必须接受培训、董事会须建立技能矩阵，并收紧兼任过多董事职位的限制，但这些差距依然存在。
These gaps have persisted despite the introduction of updated Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) Corporate Governance Code standards last year, which introduced mandatory director training, board skills matrices and stricter overboarding limits.
国卫浩华香港顾问业务主管巴里·童表示：“虽然港交所的整体披露质量已有改善，但高层所认知的风险与其技术专业能力之间仍存在脱节。”
“While overall disclosure quality on HKEX has improved, there remains a disconnect between acknowledged risks and technical expertise at the top,” said Barry Tong, head of advisory at Grant Thornton Hong Kong.
童补充说，董事中具备网络安全专业技能的仅占0.56%，具备人工智能专业技能的也仅占0.26%，而性别多元化进展依然缓慢。
Only 0.56 per cent of directors possessed cybersecurity expertise and just 0.26 per cent had specialist AI skills, while progress on gender diversity remained gradual, Tong added.
国卫浩华香港顾问业务董事伊万·苏表示：“香港的董事会大多仍沿袭为一个注重资本配置和传统风险的时代所作的设计。这种模式虽然支撑了数十年的稳定，却使董事会难以应对自主式人工智能系统和日益复杂的网络威胁。”据该报告，董事会席位中仍有高达37%由具有金融、会计、商业和经济学传统背景的高管占据，这意味着近三分之二的大型上市公司没有任何一名具备技术、信息技术或网络安全专业能力的董事。
“Hong Kong boards remain largely designed for an era focused on capital allocation and traditional risk,” said Ivan So, advisory director at Grant Thornton Hong Kong. “While that approach supported stability for decades, it leaves boards ill prepared for autonomous AI systems and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.”
然而，在香港交易所（港交所）即将对独立非执行董事任期实施严格的九年上限之际，董事会正以越来越快的速度进行更新。
报告显示，该市独立非执行董事的平均任期从2025年的6.8年降至2026年的5.8年。董事中的女性占比小幅升至22%，但仍低于欧洲34%至40%的基准水平。
As many as 37 per cent of board seats are still filled by executives with traditional backgrounds in finance, accounting, business and economics, leaving nearly two-thirds of large-cap companies without a single director with technical information technology or cyber expertise, according to the report.

However, boards are being refreshed at an accelerating pace ahead of HKEX’s introduction of a hard nine-year cap on independent non-executive director (INED) tenures.

The average INED tenure in the city dropped from 6.8 years in 2025 to 5.8 years in 2026, the report found. Female representation among directors edged up slightly to 22 per cent, though it continues to lag behind European benchmarks of 34 to 40 per cent.
