Comment by Ministry of Digital Development and Information (Singapore)

As with any technology, the need for regulation depends on how it is deployed, the nature of harm that may be caused, and whether existing measures are effective in addressing those harms. Where existing measures are assessed to be inadequate and a suitable response can be designed, the Government will ensure its timely implementation. The Government has consistently emphasised the need for responsible AI development and deployment. We will continue to study the appropriate regulatory stance for AI and assess whether existing measures are adequate as the technology and risk landscape evolves.
