KPMG has unveiled its Trusted Artificial Intelligence Centre of Excellence (AI CoE) in Singapore, a move supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) to bolster the nation’s position as a globally trusted AI hub. The centre aims to help organisations transition from AI experimentation to embedding AI as a reliable enterprise asset.
The launch also introduced KPMG’s Trusted AI Assurance, a structured approach that provides businesses with a comprehensive assessment of their AI systems. This initiative is designed to address the trust deficit in AI deployment, offering a clear path for businesses to scale AI confidently. The assurance is tailored to each organisation’s sector and growth ambitions, ensuring AI systems are trustworthy and compliant with various regulatory standards.
Lee Sze Yeng, Managing Partner at KPMG in Singapore, highlighted the importance of trust in AI, stating, “Through the KPMG Singapore Trusted AI Centre of Excellence, we are partnering with businesses to rigorously assess where they stand, close the gaps that matter, and build AI that is trusted not just locally but in the markets most critical to their growth.”
Jermaine Loy, Managing Director of EDB, noted that the centre would enable businesses across sectors like financial services, healthcare, and logistics to scale AI use with confidence. The initiative is expected to strengthen Singapore’s AI ecosystem by enhancing enterprise capabilities and workforce readiness.
The Trusted AI Assurance aligns with global standards, including the EU AI Act and Singapore’s Model AI Governance Framework, ensuring that AI solutions developed in Singapore are credible worldwide. This strategic move is set to provide Singaporean businesses with the clarity and confidence needed to expand their AI ambitions internationally.
