AI governance: Voters' trust in election candidates must be upheld, says Janil Puthucheary

Singapore is taking steps to ensure an election candidate is not misrepresented by artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information Janil Puthucheary says a new law proposed on the matter aims to maintain the public's trust in election candidates. Dr Janil made the comment while speaking at the third Festival of Ideas organised by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. He was addressing a question on what is being done to safeguard election integrity amid the rise of AI.
