SINGAPORE - Users of generative artificial intelligence (AI) apps may soon see labels that clearly state how the AI should be used, its risks and how it was tested, as part of upcoming guidelines to make the technology easier to understand.
Mrs Josephine Teo speaking at the Personal Data Protection tech conference at Sands Expo and Convention Centre on July 15, 2024.SINGAPORE - Users of generative artificial intelligence apps may soon see labels that clearly state how the AI should be used, its risks and how it was tested, as part of upcoming guidelines to make the technology easier to understand.
"We will recommend that developers and deployers be transparent with users by providing information on how the generative AI models and apps work," said Mrs Teo, who is also Minister-in-charge of Smart Nation and Cybersecurity. The guidelines will make clear safety benchmarks that should be tested before an AI is deployed, such as risks of spouting falsehoods, toxic statements and biased content. Generative AI refers to AI that can create new content like text and images, and is less predictable than traditional AI.
Separately, Mrs Teo said that in early 2025, businesses in ASEAN will have a guide on data anonymisation to help facilitate secure transfer of data across the region. She referred to how the technology can help to protect personally identifiable information so that businesses can share data more securely.
Managing data in generative AI poses even more challenges for the industry compared to traditional AI, which is more predictable, said IMDA assistant chief executive and Personal Data Protection Commission deputy commissioner Denise Wong. She was speaking during a panel discussion on AI and data privacy next to representatives from tech organisations, including consulting firm Accenture and ChatGPT-developer OpenAI.
