In brief
Following the publication of the proposed Framework in January 2024 (which you can refer to our earlier client alert here for more details) and the feedback received from various stakeholders, the finalized Model AI Governance Framework for Generative AI (“Framework“) was released on 30 May 2024 by the Infocommunications Media Development Authority (IMDA) and AI Verify Foundation.
The Framework expands upon the Model AI Governance Framework last updated in 2020.
In more detail
The Framework serves as baseline guidance for key stakeholders, such as policymakers, industry, researchers, and the general public, to adopt best practices in relation to pertinent issues posed by generative AI.
The Framework draws from insights and conversations with key jurisdictions, international organizations, research institutions and leading AI companies. It proposes nine dimensions to be looked at as a whole to foster a trusted AI ecosystem, which we explain in further detail below.

Key takeaways
- The Framework, through its nine dimensions, highlights relevant pressing and growing concerns related to AI governance, and aims to set out a recommended approach to balance such concerns with innovation through generative AI.
- In order to foster a trusted ecosystem to safely harness the use of generative AI, it is essential for all stakeholders to utilize the Framework as a reference point and adopt best practices contained therein.
