Singapore's Minister for Digital Development and Information; launched the world's first agentic AI governance framework
Our new Model Governance Framework for Agentic AI will help organisations manage systems that can act with greater independence, whilst ensuring human oversight. We are the first government worldwide to introduce such guidelines. [...] For high-risk, high-impact systems like frontier models, we will progressively strengthen safeguards.

Verified. The MDDI source URL returns HTTP 403 to automated fetching, but a web search confirmed the quote's content. Singapore's Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo announced the world's first Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI (launched 22 January 2026, developed by IMDA), and her Committee of Supply 2026 speech includes the statements that the framework "will help organisations manage systems that can act with greater independence, whilst ensuring human oversight," that Singapore is "the first government worldwide to introduce such guidelines," and that "For high-risk, high-impact systems like frontier models, we will progressively strengthen safeguards." Corroborated by Computer Weekly, IMDA, CSA, and other coverage. Author attribution is correct. Year 2026 is current. The vote "for" on the statement "Require human-in-the-loop oversight for agentic AI systems acting in high-stakes domains" aligns with the quote's emphasis on human oversight/accountability and strengthened safeguards for high-risk agentic systems. Source URL is the appropriate primary source (her COS debate speech).
