On 29 May 2024, NUS FinTech Lab took part in the AI Governance and Research Symposium at ATxSG, organized by AI Singapore and the Digital Trust Centre Singapore. Our Lab’s Director, Professor Hahn Jungpil, moderated a distinguished panel featuring our Founding Executive Director, Ming T., alongside Jeegar Kakkad, Alham Fikri Aji, and Dr. Yong Hua Lin. They shared insights on effective strategies for institutionalizing AI safety and responsibility across various sectors of society.
Highlighting Southeast Asia’s rapid digital integration and diverse AI governance landscape, the panel emphasized the importance of collaborative and interoperable frameworks, along with proactive, multi-stakeholder governance. This approach addresses regional challenges, fosters digital trust, spurs innovation, and bridges the digital divide while mitigating the unintended consequences of technology adoption.
We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the crucial dialogue on AI safety and responsibility and look forward to continued collaboration in advancing these critical issues within the region
