July 27, 2023
3 - 5 pm Singapore Time
The emergence of disruptive technologies such as Generative AI has sparked conversations about how artificial intelligence can be responsibly designed and deployed by companies, whether in the tech or non-tech industries.
Jurisdictions around the world have started to regulate Artificial Intelligence (AI), such as the flagship AI Act in the EU. Governments in Southeast Asia have also begun to act. Singapore has announced the AI Verify Foundation and the Model AI Governance Framework, while ASEAN has announced plans for regional guidelines on the use of AI. Global and regional companies must identify and manage AI-related risks to maintain their social licence to operate, stay ahead of current or future regulatory requirements, and meet the expectations of investors and other stakeholders.
Come join a BSR-hosted session in Singapore, with speakers from Microsoft, Salesforce, and Aboitiz Data Innovation for an interactive discussion on AI regulation and how companies can design or deploy socially responsible AI, including issues such as bias, transparency, human rights, and labour rights in the AI supply chain.
Light refreshments will be available throughout the event.
