Expanding on the success of our three previous workshops exploring the AI Governance principles of Accountability, Transparency and Fairness in Smart Cities, SMU CAIDG jointly organised the Operationalising AI Governance: Setting Standards ("Standards Workshop") with Seoul National University, AI Policy Initiative, under the banner of the SMU-Microsoft Asian Dialogue on AI Governance. The Dialogue was initiated in 2019, funded by Microsoft, to address the lack of an Asia-wide forum for AI governance discussions. It has since evolved into a key research network, gathering experts across disciplines.
The Standards Workshop was held on 25 and 26 September at Seoul National University and participants explored how to operationalise normative AI ethical principles into practice, particularly, through the role and employment of standards setting. Participants also delved into the many complexities of AI governance in practice, shared insights on best practices in setting AI standards, and how to foster successful AI governance across the different jurisdictions in the Asia-Pacific region.
We would like to express our appreciation to all participants for their insightful contributions and to our co-organizers at Seoul National University for their excellent event planning and warm hospitality.
