Singapore proposes global GenAI testing standard

Benchmarking and red teaming guide under review.

The government has proposed a new international standard for testing generative artificial intelligence systems to strengthen trust and consistency in how such models are assessed.

The proposed standard, ISO/IEC 42119-8, focuses on benchmarking and red-teaming methodologies for generative AI systems and is intended to improve the reproducibility and comparability of testing results, according to the Infocomm Media Development Authority and Enterprise Singapore.

The proposal will be discussed at the 17th ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 plenary meeting in Singapore from 20 to 24 April, which will be held in ASEAN for the first time.

The event is expected to gather more than 35 national bodies and over 250 AI experts from countries including the US, UK, China, Japan, Germany, France, and South Korea.

IMDA said the proposed framework builds on Singapore’s earlier work on AI assurance, including the AI Verify Toolkit, the Starter Kit for Testing of LLM-Based Applications for Safety and Reliability, and the Global AI Assurance Sandbox.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
