SUMMARY:The Future of AI Regulation in Southeast Asia
LOCATION:REC A2.05
DESCRIPTION:In April 2021, the European Commission proposed the first regul
 atory framework, known as the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act, to regulate
  the development and use of AI in the European Union (EU). The proposed Act
  adopts a risk-based approach, where the extent of legal obligations impose
 d on value chain participants depends on the level of risk the AI poses. Th
 e proposed Act establishes rules for data quality, transparency, human over
 sight, and accountability. It also aims to address ethical aspects of AI an
 d the challenges in implementing the legislation in a wide range of industr
 ies. The proposed Act is expected to be adopted in 2024 and be in force in 
 late 2025 or 2026. Once adopted, the Act represents the world’s first rules
  on AI.\n\nIn Southeast Asia, the governments have been cautious in decidin
 g whether to adopt AI regulation. While some governments have issued AI gui
 delines and national policies, no government in the region has issued a com
 prehensive AI regulatory framework. Several factors have led to this overal
 l cautious approach towards AI regulation. In particular, competing interes
 ts, such as the need to facilitate innovation while ensuring the responsibl
 e and trustworthy use of AI, are steering the regional countries towards a 
 collaborative approach to regulate AI, rather than a prescriptive rule-base
 d one.\n\nThe panel aims to critically explore the AI policymaking and gove
 rnance trends in Southeast Asia. It aims to examine the existing AI guideli
 nes and ethical principles that are in place (against the backdrop of the p
 roposed EU legislation), and explores the rationales for the stance taken i
 n the approach towards AI governance. Given that the adoption of the propos
 ed EU legislation is bound to put pressure on other countries to follow sui
 t, the panel will also explore the road ahead for Southeast Asia. Various c
 onsiderations include: Is regulation inevitable? Is legislation always the 
 best response? What safeguards are there in place already? If indeed regula
 tion is the way forward, it should not be focused on the negative. Rather t
 han simply addressing and managing the risks of AI, might AI legislation al
 so look to encourage, promote and grow what will be beneficial for the econ
 omy and society?
