In a significant move to steer the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence, Singapore has taken a pioneering step. The AI Verify Foundation (AIVF) and Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) have jointly developed a draft model AI governance framework, specifically tailored for generative AI. This initiative builds upon the existing model governance framework for traditional AI, last revised in 2020.
Facilitating Global Conversations on AI
The primary objective of this proposed framework is to catalyze international dialogues among key stakeholders: policymakers, industry leaders, and the research community. The goal is to foster a trusted environment for AI development worldwide, balancing the need for safety and innovation.
Transformative Potential and Emerging Risks
“Generative AI holds transformative potential that goes beyond what traditional AI has achieved. However, it also introduces new risks,” stated both entities in a press release. Recognizing the dynamic nature of AI, there is a growing global consensus on the need for consistent principles to ensure a safe and confident use of AI technologies, while not stifling innovation.

Core Principles: Explainability, Transparency, and Fairness
The framework is anchored on the principles that AI decisions should be explainable, transparent, and fair. These core elements are crucial in building trust and accountability in AI systems. The framework not only outlines these principles but also provides practical guidelines for model developers and policymakers to implement as initial steps.
A Step Further in AI Governance
Taking a proactive approach, the proposed model governance framework for generative AI addresses the latest advancements in the field. This is a strategic move by Singapore to inform its next steps in AI governa
