Regulation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Singapore

About This Course

Many countries that want to reap the benefits of electronic commercial transactions and social interactions, have to concomitantly deal with the harms that can arise from remote dealings and modern communication platforms.

Depending on the country and society, there is a red line that is drawn by the government as to the nature and type of information that are permitted and those that are determined to be harmful and unlawful on the other. False information or manipulative, obscene and offensive content can lead to unwanted consequences on society.

In Singapore, Information Communications and Technology (ICT) regulations, Artificial Intelligence (AI) regulations, and online safety laws play an increasingly important role in governing digital interactions, electronic transactions, and harmful online content.

This course provides a comprehensive overview into the role of government institutions in the regulation of ICT, AI, AI governance frameworks in Singapore, and Internet content regulation. The rights, responsibilities and liabilities of technology platforms in providing communication and information services will also be examined.

Participants will also gain deeper insights into the different types of regulated content, the various forms of controls such as prohibited, restricted, or classified content, as well as the measures involved - including compliance requirements, directives, codes of practice, criminal liability, and civil remedies - in Singapore’s digital environment.
