Governance shift
The Singapore IMDA has expanded its Model AI Governance Framework with specific assurance modules for the financial and healthcare sectors. This development shifts governance by defining concrete, auditable benchmarks for AI safety and performance in highly regulated industries. Board-level oversight must now transition from high-level ethical principles to structured, evidence-based assurance processes in these sectors.
