Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong proposed a small pilot for reporting AI incidents to help countries share lessons and improve AI safety.

He said countries should start with a practical, flexible approach, using common incident categories and secure information sharing before building a wider framework.

The idea follows recent AI incidents at OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta and Google, and links with wider calls for international oversight and common AI safety rules.

SINGAPORE - Interested parties and countries could launch a small pilot for reporting artificial intelligence-related incidents to lay the groundwork for a more systematic way of sharing and learning from these incidents to improve AI safety.

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong raised this suggestion on Oct 28 during an online meeting with several global leaders on the safety of cutting-edge frontier AI models, amid global scrutiny on AI safety following a spate of AI-related incidents.

“I suggest we start with a practical and flexible approach, rather than seek to establish an elaborate new international architecture from the outset,” said PM Wong.

The pilot will allow like-minded parties and countries to test what works, identify the practical difficulties and build confidence before considering a wider framework, he said.

“When serious AI incidents happen, the lessons should not be confined to one country or one company. We should be able to learn from what went wrong, identify the emerging risks, and take steps to prevent similar incidents happening elsewhere,” said PM Wong.

He added that the value of this approach can be seen in the international aviation industry, where incidents and near misses are reported and studied, so that lessons can be shared and safety standards can be continually improved.

“We can develop a similar culture of learning and prevention for AI,” he said.

PM Wong pointed out that information about the safety of frontier AI models currently comes from the developers of the models. But since governments, business and organisations are using these models, they also encounter serious failures and near misses that reveal significant risks, even if no harm occurred.

“These cases may not trigger existing reporting requirements, but they can still offer valuable lessons for everyone,” he added.

For the pilot on AI incident reporting, PM Wong suggested that countries can start by agreeing on a common set of incident categories and information to be shared. How participating countries collect and exchange the information securely can then be explored.

His comments come after a slew of recent incidents involving AI from leading tech companies going rogue.

ChatGPT maker OpenAI disclosed in July that its AI agents – bots that can carry out actions with minimal human supervision – had escaped their testing environment. The agents then breached AI software repository Hugging Face to complete a task they were given, an attack that was not intended by OpenAI.

Soon after, Anthropic, Meta and Google said their AI had also gone rogue and had hacked other organisations.

Following these incidents, leaders from the European Union and 20 other countries, including Singapore, jointly called for control and international oversight of frontier AI models , a move that was also welcomed by the chief of the United Nations Antonio Guterres.

Since the initial declaration on Sept 21, leaders from 11 other countries have endorsed the call, including Cyprus, Switzerland, France and Sierra Leone.

Following the declaration, Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store co-hosted the Oct 28 online meeting on frontier AI safety with 22 countries and the European Commission.

The meeting focused on three areas: international cooperation on risk management, building global trust in the safety and security of frontier AI models, and developing common rules on AI safety and governance.

PM Wong said that one way for countries to cooperate on making AI safer, while continuing to harness its benefits, is to have smaller groups of interested countries across regions to take the lead in developing practical tools and frameworks.

And rather than duplicating what has already been done, countries should build on existing efforts.

For example, a useful foundation is a document called Singapore Consensus which sets out global AI safety research priorities. It resulted from an annual forum convened by Singapore, called the International Scientific Exchange on AI Safety, which brings together researchers, developers and governments on international AI safety cooperation.

PM Wong also said that countries can draw on the work of the UN-backed Independent International Scientific Panel on AI, the world’s first scientific body on AI, which supports discussions on AI governance.

“By connecting these different efforts, we can strengthen their collective impact and give our cooperation a wider reach,” he said.

新加坡总理黄循财于 10 月 28 日在与几位全球领导人举行的关于尖端人工智能模型安全性的在线会议上提出了人工智能事件报告试点建议。

新加坡总理黄循财提议开展一项小型试点项目，报告人工智能事故，以帮助各国分享经验教训，提高人工智能安全性。

他表示，各国应首先采取务实、灵活的方式，使用通用事件分类和安全的信息共享，然后再建立更广泛的框架。

这一想法源于 OpenAI、Anthropic、Meta 和 Google 最近发生的 AI 安全事故，并与更广泛的呼吁建立国际监管和通用 AI 安全规则的呼声相联系。

新加坡——有兴趣的各方和国家可以启动一个小型试点项目，报告与人工智能相关的事件，为更系统地分享和学习这些事件以改进人工智能安全奠定基础。

10月28日，在发生一系列人工智能相关事件后，全球对人工智能安全性的密切关注下，黄循财总理在与几位全球领导人举行的关于尖端人工智能模型安全性的线上会议上提出了这一建议。

黄循财总理表示：“我建议我们采取务实灵活的方式，而不是从一开始就寻求建立一个复杂的新国际架构。”

他表示，试点项目将使志同道合的各方和国家能够测试哪些做法有效，找出实际困难，并在考虑更广泛的框架之前建立信心。

黄循财总理表示：“当发生严重的人工智能事故时，教训不应局限于一个国家或一家公司。我们应该能够从错误中吸取教训，识别新出现的风险，并采取措施防止类似事件在其他地方发生。”

他还补充说，这种方法的价值在国际航空业中显而易见，事故和险情都会被报告和研究，以便分享经验教训，并不断改进安全标准。

他说：“我们可以为人工智能发展类似的学习和预防文化。”

黄循财总理指出，目前关于前沿人工智能模型安全性的信息主要来自模型开发者。但由于各国政府、企业和机构都在使用这些模型，因此也难免会遇到严重的故障和险情，即使最终没有造成实际伤害，这些故障和险情也暴露出重大风险。

“这些案例可能不会触发现有的报告要求，但它们仍然可以为所有人提供宝贵的经验教训，”他补充道。

关于人工智能事件报告试点项目，黄英贤总理建议各国可以先就一套共同的事件类别和需要共享的信息达成一致。之后，可以探讨参与国如何安全地收集和交换这些信息。

在他发表这番评论之前，近期发生了一系列涉及领先科技公司人工智能失控的事件。

ChatGPT 的开发商 OpenAI 在 7 月份披露，其人工智能代理（能够在极少人工监督下执行操作的机器人）已逃离测试环境。这些代理随后入侵了人工智能软件库 Hugging Face，完成了一项预设任务，而此次攻击并非 OpenAI 的本意。

不久之后，Anthropic、Meta 和 Google 也表示，他们的 AI 也失控了，并入侵了其他组织。

在这些事件发生后，欧盟和包括新加坡在内的其他 20 个国家的领导人共同呼吁对前沿人工智能模型进行管控和国际监督，这一举措也受到了联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯的欢迎。

自 9 月 21 日首次发表声明以来，包括塞浦路斯、瑞士、法国和塞拉利昂在内的其他 11 个国家的领导人已表示支持这一呼吁。

声明发布后，芬兰总统亚历山大·斯图布和挪威首相乔纳斯·加尔·斯托尔于 10 月 28 日与 22 个国家和欧盟委员会共同主持了关于前沿人工智能安全的在线会议。

会议重点讨论了三个领域：风险管理方面的国际合作、建立全球对前沿人工智能模型安全性的信任，以及制定人工智能安全和治理方面的共同规则。

黄英贤总理表示，各国在确保人工智能安全的同时继续利用其益处的一种合作方式，是让不同地区感兴趣的小国组成小组，牵头开发实用工具和框架。

各国不应重复已经做过的事情，而应在现有努力的基础上继续努力。

例如，一份名为《新加坡共识》的文件就是一个很好的基础，它列出了全球人工智能安全研究的优先事项。这份文件源于新加坡每年召开的“人工智能安全国际科学交流会”，该论坛汇聚了研究人员、开发人员和各国政府，共同探讨国际人工智能安全合作。

黄之锋总理还表示，各国可以借鉴联合国支持的人工智能独立国际科学小组的工作成果。该小组是世界上第一个人工智能科学机构，支持有关人工智能治理的讨论。

他说：“通过将这些不同的努力联系起来，我们可以加强它们的集体影响力，并使我们的合作覆盖更广泛的范围。”
