Trust, ethics crucial to companies in advancing AI

Singapore

TRUST is the most important value in the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), said companies - as the Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA) on Tuesday unveiled a series of AI initiatives to grow the country's digital economy, including an advisory council on the ethical use of AI and data.

Richard Socher, chief scientist at Salesforce, told The Business Times: "Trust is our No 1 value. As more companies and people start to embrace and use AI, we believe the question of regulation will be answered through a dialogue between citizens, the private sector and governments."
