TLDR: Singapore Requests Feedback on AI Security Guidelines
- Singapore has published guidelines for securing AI systems and is seeking public feedback
- The guidelines focus on principles to raise awareness of cybersecurity threats and implementing security controls
Singapore has released two sets of guidelines for securing AI systems and is actively seeking public feedback on these proposals. The first set, titled “Guidelines on Securing AI Systems,” aims to assist system owners in securing AI throughout its life cycle. It provides principles to highlight potential threats such as adversarial attacks and offers guidance on implementing security controls. The second set, known as the “Companion Guide for Securing AI Systems,” is a collaborative effort between the Cybersecurity Agency of Singapore and AI and cybersecurity practitioners to create a community-driven resource. The guidelines emphasize the importance of ensuring that AI systems behave as intended and produce safe, secure, and responsible outcomes.
The guidelines propose a systematic defense plan, which includes performing a risk assessment, prioritizing risks based on impact and resources, identifying actions and control measures, and evaluating residual risks. Although the guidelines are not mandatory, they offer practical measures and controls drawn from industry use cases to support system owners in navigating the evolving landscape of AI security. The consultation period for feedback closes on 15 September.
Singapore Consults on Cybersecurity Guidelines for AI Systems
Singapore has published and is inviting public feedback on two proposed sets of guidelines for securing AI systems. The first set, the Guidelines on Securing AI Systems, aims to help system owners secure AI throughout its life cycle by providing principles to raise awareness of adversarial attacks and guide implementation of security controls. The second set, the Companion Guide for Securing AI Systems, is a community-driven resource developed in collaboration with AI and cybersecurity practitioners to support system owners.
The Cybersecurity Agency of Singapore stresses that AI systems must behave as intended, with outcomes that are safe, secure, and responsible. The guidelines recommend that AI should be secure by design and secure by default. The consultation closes on 15 September.
