Model AI Governance Framework for Generative AI

IMDA's and AI Verify Foundation's Model AI Governance Framework for Generative AI (MGF-Gen AI) aims to address the challenges and risks associated to generative AI while facilitating innovation via setting a systematic and balance approach. This framework, built on Singapore's previous works, including its Model AI Governance Framework, includes nine dimensions.
These are: 

• Accountability: putting in place the right incentive structure for different players in the AI system development life cycle to be responsible to end-users​.
• Data: ensuring data quality and addressing potentially contentious training data in a pragmatic way, as data is core to model development.
• Trusted development and deployment: enhancing transparency around baseline safety and hygiene measures based on industry best practices in development, evaluation and disclosure.
• Incident reporting: implementing an incident management system for timely notification, remediation and continuous improvements, as no AI system is foolproof​.
• Testing and assurance: providing external validation and added trust through third-party testing, and developing common AI testing standards for consistency.
• Security: addressing new threat vectors that arise through generative AI models​.
• Content provenance: transparency about where content comes from as useful signals for end-users​.
• Safety and alignment R&D: accelerating R&D through global cooperation among AI Safety Institutes to improve model alignment with human intention and values.​
• AI for public good: responsible AI includes harnessing AI to benefit the public by democratising access, improving public sector adoption, upskilling workers and developing AI systems sustainably​.

Via these nine outlined dimensions the framework aims at creating a trusted-environment to enable end-users to use generative AI safely, while promoting space for cutting-edge innovation. In addition, this framework aims at facilitating conversations between stakeholders, including policymakers, the industry and research community on an international scale.
