An initiative spanning Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines aims to help enterprises operationalise the new requirements under Singapore's new Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI.
Announced by Armor and Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security, the five-country initiative addresses emerging compliance challenges in the framework amid tightening AI oversight in the region.
"Singapore's Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI (MGF) recognises what we've been telling clients: AI agents that can act autonomously need the same security rigour as any privileged user," said Chris Drake, founder and CEO of Armor. "You wouldn't give an employee access to sensitive systems without visibility and controls. The same logic applies to AI."
Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI
During the World Economic Forum, Singapore's Minister for Digital Development and Information, Josephine Teo, announced the Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI, making Singapore the first country to release such a framework.
The framework provides a structured overview of the risks posed by agentic AI and emerging best practices for managing them. The living document emphasises assessing and managing risks, upholding human accountability, implementing technical controls and practices, and end-user responsibility.
