Debated in Parliament on 8 Sep 2026.
Ms Cassandra Lee asked the Minister for Digital Development and Information in view of the fact that the Transparency Guidelines for Generative AI Chatbots recently released by the Infocomm Media Development Authority are voluntary (a) whether the Government is considering mandating baseline transparency disclosures for sensitive applications of AI, for example in healthcare, children or personal data; and (b) what factors will inform such a decision.
The Infocomm Media Development Authority's Transparency Guidelines for Generative AI Chatbots establish a voluntary baseline for organisations to explain the capabilities, limitations and safeguards of their generative AI chatbots.
In addition, to address specific risks, the Government will consider further factors, such as how the technology is deployed, the nature of harms that may arise, and the effectiveness of existing measures. These factors were mentioned in the Ministry of Digital Development and Information's reply to Mr Alex Yeo's Parliamentary question about the regulation of high-risk AI deployments on 7 July 2026. [Please refer to "Key Risk Thresholds to Regulate High-risk AI Deployments and Implementing Mandatory Human Oversight for Fully Automated Decisions", Official Report, 7 July 2026, Vol 96, Issue 32, Written Answers to Questions section.]
