SINGAPORE, Dec 3, 2018 - (ACN Newswire) -
Singapore's Advisory Council on the Ethical Use of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Data convened for their inaugural meeting on
Friday, Nov 30.
The Advisory Council[1] brings together transnational thought
leaders and industry captains from diverse backgrounds spanning the
spectrum of large tech providers, users, the academia and
government. Members comprise international leaders in AI such as
Google, Microsoft and Alibaba; advocates of social and consumer
interests; and leaders of local companies who are keen users of
AI.
Council members had a robust discussion on the ethical use of AI
and data. This included discussion on the paper released by the
Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) in June 2018 on the
responsible development and adoption of AI. There were many
suggestions given on how to improve the draft model framework. The
Advisory Council called for broader engagement and consultation of
the draft model framework.
The meeting is a timely reminder of how a private-public
relationship is necessary to enable the Digital Economy. A trusted
AI ecosystem is critical for industries to effectively adopt
innovative emerging technologies and business models, while
ensuring strong consumer confidence, protection and participation.
In the area of data and data-driven technologies like AI, the
development of responsible practices must be informed by diverse
views and a global perspective. Singapore aims to contribute to the
global discourse by proposing a pragmatic governance framework that
translates ethical principles into practice. An updated draft will
be made available soon.
Senior Minister of State Dr Janil Puthucheary said, "I am
especially thankful for the attendance of a strong and diverse
transnational mix of members, including tech giants, companies
large and small, users, academia and government. Building a future
Digital Economy with a trusted AI ecosystem is critical."
The Advisory Council is one of three structured, interlinked
initiatives[2] to support the engagement of stakeholders to
collaboratively develop a trusted and vibrant AI ecosystem and
position Singapore as a leading hub for AI. The list of members can
be found below.
