Singapore

Singapore relies on voluntary model frameworks, testing toolkits and sector guidance for AI governance.

Policy approach

Current structure

IMDA’s Model AI Governance Framework and related tools aim for interoperability with international risk frameworks without a single omnibus AI act.

The UK white paper and Singapore’s Model Framework both privilege existing regulators or voluntary tools over an early omnibus AI Act.

Issue ready-to-use voluntary frameworks covering explainability, transparency, fairness and human-centric AI use.
