Singapore has announced significant insights from the world’s first technical testing of real-world Generative AI (GenAI) applications, as revealed at the ATxSummit 2025. The Global AI Assurance Pilot, launched in February 2025 by the AI Verify Foundation (AIVF) and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), paired 16 specialist AI testers with 17 GenAI deployers across 10 industries, including finance and healthcare.
The initiative aims to establish emerging norms and best practices for GenAI applications, addressing the unique risks associated with different industries and use cases. “Gen AI risks are often context-dependent,” noted the pilot’s findings, emphasising the need for subject matter experts throughout the application lifecycle.
In addition to the pilot, Singapore introduced the world’s first Testing Starter Kit for GenAI applications. This kit offers practical guidance for businesses developing or using GenAI, focusing on risks such as hallucination and data disclosure. The kit is designed to evolve alongside technological advancements, supported by tools like Project Moonshot.
These efforts underscore Singapore’s commitment to fostering a trusted AI ecosystem. By advancing AI science and providing practical testing tools, Singapore aims to catalyse innovation and ensure responsible AI deployment. The initiatives also highlight Singapore’s role in shaping global AI norms and promoting international cooperation.
Looking ahead, Singapore continues to champion AI for public good, with AI Singapore partnering with the UN Development Programme to enhance AI literacy in developing countries. This collaboration extends the successful AI for Good programme to a global scale, aiming to transform communities and bridge the AI literacy divide.
