APAC countries are developing diverse approaches to AI governance, from Singapore's comprehensive framework to Australia's voluntary ethics code.
Singapore's Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) published the Model AI Governance Framework, which provides detailed guidance on AI deployment. The AI Verify testing framework enables organizations to validate their AI systems against governance principles through technical testing and process checks.
Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) published AI Governance Guidelines that emphasize agile governance and risk-based approaches. Japan's approach prioritizes innovation-friendly regulation while establishing principles for trustworthy AI including fairness, transparency, and accountability.
Australia's Department of Industry established a voluntary AI Ethics Framework built around eight principles. The government is exploring mandatory guardrails for high-risk AI applications while maintaining a light-touch approach for lower-risk uses.
South Korea's AI Act proposal establishes a risk-based classification system. China has enacted multiple AI-specific regulations covering algorithmic recommendations, deepfakes, and generative AI. India is developing a national AI strategy with sector-specific guidelines.
