When Singapore assumes the chairmanship of Asean in 2027, it will advance several shared artificial intelligence priorities centred around encouraging better adoption across sectors and investing more in shared digital public goods. The nation also intends to deepen cross-border data-flow mechanisms and align regional approaches to AI governance. The republic’s Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo announced this on Wednesday (Jun 17) as she closed her keynote address on why South-east Asia is well-positioned to expand AI adoption, and the pitfalls the region must avoid to do so confidently. She was speaking at the second edition of the Asia Economic Summit organised by English-language technology media company Tech in Asia (TIA). Held at the Fairmont Jakarta hotel, the conference was themed “Where South-east Asia’s economic decisions take shape”.   https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/international/singapore-advance-ai-agenda-asean-chair-focus-cross-border-data-flows-smaller-firms?
