Singapore has unveiled new AI governance measures designed to improve global AI safety. Recognising AI’s cross-border impact, these projects aim to improve technical testing, ensure multilingual safety, and advance AI governance. The statement was made by Josephine Teo, Minister for Digital Development and Information, during the AI Action Summit (AIAS) in Paris, France, on February 10-11.
The Global AI Assurance Pilot is a testbed for developing best practices for testing Generative AI applications; the Joint Testing Report with Japan evaluates the safety of Large Language Models (LLMs) across multiple languages; and the AI Safety Red Teaming Challenge Evaluation Report analyses AI model performance in diverse cultural contexts. These activities strengthen Singapore’s position in establishing global AI standards.
AIAS expands on prior summits, notably Bletchley Park in November 2023 and Seoul in May 2024, by bringing together governmental, economic, and academic leaders to define AI policy. Minister Teo also took part in critical debates about AI risk monitoring and global AI leadership, emphasising Singapore’s commitment to responsible AI development. The country remains committed to developing international alliances, enhancing AI safety frameworks, and ensuring that AI breakthroughs are transparent and inclusive.
