Tan See Leng on use of AI in hiring practices
The Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (TAFEP) has not received any complaints of discrimination arising from the use of AI tools in hiring or performance appraisals. Regardless of the technology used to aid employment decisions, employers must comply with TAFEP guidelines. Organisations are also expected to refer to official guidelines on the responsible development and use of AI. The Government will continue to monitor the situation and regularly assess if existing guidelines and regulations are adequate. Given the pace at which AI tools are evolving, it would not be practical or feasible to be overly prescriptive at this time. Manpower Minister Tan See Leng said this in Parliament on Wednesday (Nov 13) in response to MPs’ questions.
