Singapore, Australia sign AI development MOU

It expands on the Singapore-Australia Digital Economy Agreement signed in 2020.

Singapore and Australia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to advance Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption and promote responsible AI development.

The MOU expands on the Singapore-Australia Digital Economy Agreement (SADEA) signed in 2020 and supports the broader Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) framework.

Its objectives include fostering the exchange of best practices in AI across government, industry, and research; increasing access to AI technologies, markets, and talent; facilitating links between research and industry for commercial applications; and promoting responsible AI development through ethical governance frameworks and alignment of regulatory tools.

The agreement was signed on 16 December, by Singapore’s Minister for Digital Development and Information, Josephine Teo, and Australia’s Minister for Industry and Science, Ed Husic, during a bilateral meeting in Singapore.

Minister Husic emphasised the importance of international partnerships to ensure the safe and responsible use of AI, noting the shared opportunity for both nations to leverage their expertise in technology.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
