SINGAPORE — Singapore is in talks with technology companies about attaching «nutrition labels» to AI products, designating their intended uses and limitations, a senior minister said on Wednesday (May 20).«We may start with a voluntary framework, and then in time ... we'll see how effective these kinds of labels are before deciding to take the next step,» digital development and information minister Josephine Teo told Reuters in an interview.The labels, which would be a global first, would apply to consumer applications with AI features, similar to food or medicine labels. She said they would indicate the «right ways» and «not-so-correct ways» of using AI.The minister, who was speaking on the sidelines of the Asia Tech x Singapore Summit, said Singapore is also developing testing frameworks and accrediting organisations to evaluate AI products.The country has emerged as a neutral ground for the AI sector, popular with both US and Chinese startups.Singapore announced on Wednesday that it would host OpenAI's first Applied AI Lab outside the US, with an investment of more than US$234 million (S$299.4 million).
