ASEAN Declaration on AI Policy

  • Participants in last week’s 4th ASEAN Digital Ministers’ Meeting (ADGMIN) adopted a new Singapore Declaration on “Building an Inclusive and Trusted Digital Ecosystem,” which included a long-awaited and relatively business-friendly ASEAN Guide on Artificial Intelligence (AI) Governance and Ethics.
  • Singapore showed off its regional leadership on the topic by drawing attendees from all ten ASEAN member states, plus China, the European Union, India, Japan, South Korea, TimorLeste, and the United States – with the non-ASEAN observers adding some political weight to ASEAN’s consensus process and policies.
  • While avoiding contentious “data sovereignty” matters, ASEAN appears determined to try to develop shared regional standards on AI, with an eye toward preventing the proliferation of cybercrime and maintaining trust in information network infrastructure.
