It is crucial for the state of sciences for safety and governance to keep in tandem with AI’s rapidly evolving capabilities and risks. As the designated Singapore AISI, the Digital Trust Centre Singapore (DTC), in partnership with the Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA), will drive the efforts for advancing AI safety in Singapore.
The Singapore AISI will develop policies, drive technical work related to AI safety and governance, as well as establish international engagements and partnerships, corralling efforts across local research ecosystem and working with other global AISIs and government agencies.
The Singapore AISI focuses on the following as priority areas for the advancement of AI safety and governance.
Held on 5 November 2024, IMDA, together with Humane Intelligence, completed the world's first-ever multicultural and multilingual AI Safety Red Teaming Challenge focused on Asia-Pacific in November and December 2024! Over 350 participants across 9 countries tested 4 large language models for bias stereotypes in English and regional languages. AI safety initiatives like these go towards supporting the ongoing testing work of the AISI Network.
Held on 26 April 2025, the Singapore Conference on AI (SCAI): International Scientific Exchange (ISE) on AI Safety saw over 100 of the best global minds from academia, industry and government, collectively identify and demonstrate consensus around technical AI safety research priorities. In shaping reliable, secure and safe AI, the outcomes of the discussion at SCAI:ISE are synthesized into the Singapore Consensus on Global AI Safety Research Priorities, a living document that continues to welcome views from the global research community.
