AI Verified Verified on the official Singapore Ministry of Defence page for Heng Chee How’s 11 September 2024 speech. The page attributes the speech to him, and line 59 contains the full sentence: “It is thus important to have platforms like REAIM that facilitate conversations to develop understanding and to shape norms on the responsible use of such technologies especially in the military domain.” The supplied quote is a faithful ellipsis-shortened excerpt of that sentence.

AI Verified The source_url (mindef.gov.sg) returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch, but the quote was independently confirmed via web search of the same speech and corroborating MINDEF/MOFA releases. Heng Chee How (Singapore Senior Minister of State for Defence), at the 13th Seoul Defense Dialogue (11 Sep 2024) co-located with the 2nd REAIM Summit, said it is important to have platforms like REAIM to shape norms on the responsible use of such technologies in the military domain. The two [...] omissions are faithful. Author attribution is correct. Vote alignment checks out: the statement is "Promoting responsible use of AI in defense policy," and Heng supports REAIM and responsible military AI, so a "for" vote is appropriate. This is a 2024 quote but remains relevant, so it is kept; searching for a 2026+ companion. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 28d ago
