Singapore
Singapore regulates AI through voluntary, practical frameworks rather than binding law. Its Model AI Governance Framework, extended to generative AI, sets out governance practices, and its AI Verify toolkit lets organizations test systems against those principles. The approach is pro-adoption and interoperability-focused, designed to align with international standards.
Key points
- The Model AI Governance Framework is voluntary and was extended to generative AI.
