The Centre for AI and Data Governance (CAIDG) will become a leading player in the global development of AI Governance, leveraging existing SMU assets and building further and deeper intellectual capacity through the recruitment of emergent talent to and within SMU (and across Singapore and the broader region), as well as through the assemblage of and collaboration with a hand-selected team of international, world-renowned co-investigators and advisors. A primary aim of the Centre is to develop legal frameworks that thoughtfully enable AI as an economic driver and ensures its beneficial uses. Of course, the Centre will also devote significant resources and effort to resolving—in some cases preventing—the unintended consequences and social harms that these emerging technologies are likely to generate. We will develop cutting edge legal and ethical research that will form the basis for various governmental (and non-governmental) frameworks and best practices in AI and data policy and regulation. Through various forms of research dissemination and stakeholder engagement described below, the Centre will establish Singapore as a leader on the global stage and an exporter of sound policy and good governance for AI and Data use.
