The guide was released after a two-day meeting between digital ministers of ASEAN member countries in Singapore.
This document serves as a practical guide for organisations in the region that wish to design, develop, and deploy traditional AI technologies in commercial and non military or dual use applications.
It aims to ensure the interoperability of AI regulatory frameworks and outlines recommendations for governments to follow at the national and regional levels.
In a joint statement after the meeting, ASEAN ministers emphasized the need to develop policies and guidelines to promote the development of emerging technologies in a responsible and safe manner. ASEAN ministers also agreed to establish a specialized group to discuss AI governance.
