Singapore's voluntary model AI governance frameworks: the Model AI Governance Framework (2nd ed., 2020) on internal governance, human involvement by probability and severity of harm, data and model operations (lineage, bias, explainability, robustness, traceability) and stakeholder communication; the Model AI Governance Framework for Generative AI (2024, nine dimensions); and the Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI (v1.5, May 2026) on bounding agent risks, human accountability and approval checkpoints, technical controls, testing and monitoring, and end-user responsibility. Guidance, not law.

Verified

Singapore AI Governance Framework is a compliance framework from Singapore with 9 domains and 28 controls that map to 150 other frameworks. The largest domains are GenAI framework: nine dimensions – Singapore AI Governance Framework (8 controls), MAF: operations management (data, algorithm and model) – Singapore AI Governance Framework (4 controls), Agentic AI framework: assess and bound the risks upfront – Singapore AI Governance Framework (3 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.

Compare Singapore AI Governance Framework with ASEAN Guide on AI Governance and Ethics

Coverage is not the same as your position

This page shows what Singapore AI Governance Framework overlaps with in general. Where your organisation actually stands, against the standard you are going for and the certifications you already hold, is a different question. Same graph and the same recorded refutations, scoped to you rather than to a pair.

What is Singapore AI Governance Framework and who does it apply to?

Singapore AI Governance Framework is a compliance framework from Singapore with 9 domains and 28 controls. Singapore's voluntary model AI governance frameworks: the Model AI Governance Framework (2nd ed., 2020) on internal governance, human involvement by probability and severity of harm, data and model operations (lineage, bias, explainability, robustness, traceability) and stakeholder communication; the Model AI Governance Framework for Generative AI (2024, nine dimensions); and the Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI (v1.5, May 2026) on bounding agent risks, human accountability and approval checkpoints, technical controls, testing and monitoring, and end-user responsibility. Guidance, not law. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does Singapore AI Governance Framework actually require?

Singapore AI Governance Framework has 28 controls organised across 9 domains. The largest domains are GenAI framework: nine dimensions – Singapore AI Governance Framework (8 controls), MAF: operations management (data, algorithm and model) – Singapore AI Governance Framework (4 controls), Agentic AI framework: assess and bound the risks upfront – Singapore AI Governance Framework (3 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.

If I already comply with another framework, how much of Singapore AI Governance Framework do I already cover?

Singapore AI Governance Framework maps to 150 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are ASEAN Guide on AI Governance and Ethics (29% coverage), UK AI Regulation Framework (8% coverage), OECD AI Principles (8% coverage). Use our comparison tool to explore control-level mappings between frameworks.
