Teo said Singapore will build testing, assurance and practical guidance as AI adoption grows, citing aviation-style standards and international cooperation.

Summary
Artificial intelligence needs safeguards similar to those in the aviation industry to build trust in the technology as adoption grows, said Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo. Drawing a parallel with civil aviation, Mrs Teo said in a LinkedIn post on Thursday (Sep 17) that the industry's growth was made possible by "hundreds, if not thousands" of standards and regulations that help ensure safety and build public trust.

In time to come, the world of AI must have its own safety setups.
