Singapore Routine Guidance

Singapore launches a starter kit for testing AI agents for safety and reliability

IMDA released a starter kit for testing agentic systems, setting out a four-step approach (identify risks, test realistically without real-world harm, analyse results and logs, monitor and retest) and metrics such as tool-use accuracy and human-intervention rates. The AI Verify Foundation named its first five accredited AI testers the same day. Recorded from press coverage; IMDA's own page was not found.
