Josephine Teo moots AI safety regulation: 'Trust an essential requirement for technology reliance'
Trust lies at the core for artificial intelligence (AI) to be used with confidence, said Singapore's Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo.She made this comment in a LinkedIn post on Thursday (Sept 17), amid recent calls by tech leaders such as Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman and SpaceXAI's Elon Musk to slow model development while calling for greater government oversight of AI. The rapidly evolving technology has become a source of controversy after a series of hacks in recent months that showed AI agents can conspire to deceive humans.While tech leaders have said their goal is to develop the technology in ways that promote safety, address legal liability, feed economic growth, advance science and preserve national security, some have also expressed concerns that an AI unshackled from human control could be destructive.
