The Challenge
The development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies can bring about many benefits – from transforming businesses and improving labour productivity to enhancing quality of life. However, there is an increasing concern regarding the risk of harm associated with the use of AI technologies if they are not deployed in a responsible manner, and the data within these models is not managed properly. Many governments and international organizations have worked to outline ethical principles to govern the development and use of new technologies, with the aim to mitigate the risk of harm that these technologies might bring. Singapore issued the first edition of its Model AI Governance Framework (“Model Framework”), a sector-, technology- and algorithm-agnostic framework, which converts relevant ethical principles to implementable practices in an AI deployment process so that organizations can operationalize these principles. Singapore then designed a companion Assessment Guide aiming to:
The Opportunity
The project gave organizations an opportunity to implement the practices and measures suggested in the Model Framework, and share experiences so as to inspire other organizations adopting AI to do so in a similarly responsible manner. The companion Assessment Guide helps organizations evaluate their implementation and identify potential gaps that may need to be addressed. Through the project:
Impact areas
As it is important for the Model Framework to be stress-tested in a wide range of sectors, we welcome organizations from all sectors to join us in building an adoption community to enhance the Model Framework and the companion Assessment Guide. We want organizations and consumers to have confidence in using AI and AI solutions – regardless of where they are used – to be explainable, transparent, fair and human-centric. Joining us will allow you to be part of the process of producing:
