In Singapore, over 100 AI researchers proposed the Singapore Consensus on AI safety, advocating for trustworthy practices in AI development. This initiative arose against a backdrop of diminishing transparency from major AI firms like OpenAI and Google. Prominent figures in AI, including Yoshua Bengio and Stuart Russell, contributed to the guidelines, highlighting the need for regulation in areas where public sentiment can't directly influence AI development. Minister Josephine Teo emphasized that the lack of democratic tools for regulating AI creates a gap between societal values and technological advancements.
"In democracies, general elections and referenda can't regulate how AI is developed, leading to a significant disconnect between technology and public values".
"The Singapore Consensus proposes guidelines to ensure AI research is trustworthy, reliable, and secure, amidst increasing opacity in AI development by leading tech companies".
