SINGAPORE: Southeast Asian countries are drawing up governance and ethics guidelines for artificial intelligence that will impose"guardrails" on the booming technology, five officials with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

Ministers from the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations agreed in February on the need to develop an ASEAN"AI guide" for the region of 668 million people, but details of the discussions among regional policymakers have not previously been reported. "The drafting is ongoing and it could be completed towards the end of the year before it is endorsed by ASEAN members," one official told Reuters.

Moves by ASEAN to set guidelines around AI come as the European Union and United States are expected to release a draft of a voluntary AI code of conduct within weeks. The code would take effect ahead of the EU's trailblazing AI Act, which is still being thrashed out.
