Addressing parliamentary queries on AI safety requirements, Tan said the government is enhancing its frameworks and monitoring global developments in the field. He emphasized the government's commitment to maintaining human accountability, implementing necessary controls, and strengthening cybersecurity to protect systems AI agents interact with. Tan encouraged private sector organizations to exercise caution when deploying AI agents and systems. He welcomed AI companies to assume greater responsibility in identifying and managing risks associated with their systems, particularly before widespread deployment. Tan also noted that Singapore is examining the need for new safety measures for high-risk AI uses, including more rigorous testing and stronger regulatory oversight.",
