Singapore and the UK collaborate on AI safety standards

The parties will share policies.

Singapore inked an AI safety partnership with the United Kingdom's AI Safety Institute.

As partners, Singapore and the UK will drive forward research and work towards a shared set of policies, standards, and guidance.  

Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo and UK's  Secretary of State for Science, Innovation, and Technology Peter Kyle signed the Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC).

"We are committed to realising our vision of AI for the Public Good for Singapore, and the world. The signing of this Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) with an important partner, the United Kingdom, builds on existing areas of common interest and extends them to new opportunities in AI," Teo said.

AI Safety Institute Chair Ian Hogarth said the partnership with Singapore marks the beginning of a long-term goal for both countries to work together on advancing AI safety science and fostering the responsible development and use of AI systems.
