Interested parties, countries can come together to launch AI incident reporting pilot: PM Wong

Mr Wong suggested that countries start with a "practical and flexible approach" to AI governance.

SINGAPORE: In developing an artificial intelligence (AI) incident reporting pilot, interested parties and countries can learn from international aviation, where incidents and near misses are reported and studied, with lessons shared, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

Speaking at the Virtual Leaders' Meeting on Frontier AI Safety on Wednesday (Oct 28), Mr Wong suggested that such a pilot could be a first step in AI governance.

“We can start by agreeing on a common set of incident categories and information to be shared,” he said.

“We can explore how participating countries can collect and exchange this information securely. And this will allow us to test what works, identify the practical difficulties, and build confidence before considering a wider framework.”

Given that countries might have different approaches to AI governance but have a common interest in making AI safer, Mr Wong suggested that meaningful cooperation can begin by taking a "practical and flexible approach".

Rather than seek to establish an “elaborate new international architecture” from the outset, countries can organise their cooperation around specific workstreams, with smaller cross-regional groups of interested countries taking the lead in developing practical tools and frameworks.

"The participation and adoption can remain voluntary, so countries can contribute according to our interests and capabilities," said Mr Wong.

Co-hosted by Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb, the meeting involved 22 countries and the European Commission.

It was a follow-up to the joint declaration for the control of frontier AI models at the United Nations General Assembly in September .

Mr Wong and more than 20 other world leaders had signed a joint statement calling for stronger safeguards for frontier AI amid greater scrutiny of the technology's risks.

Concerns over the safety of frontier AI models have recently made headlines, including in September, when a rogue AI agent from OpenAI breached an Australian national healthcare database.

In response to the breach, Australian leaders said they were considering possible "law enforcement and legislative responses" .

In July, about 700 AI agents created by OpenAI hacked the open-source platform Hugging Face . The company said in October that it had resumed training of its most advanced AI models after tightening security and barring internet access.

BUILDING ON EXISTING EFFORTS

Singapore stands ready to do its part in advancing initiatives on the safe and responsible use of AI, Mr Wong said on Wednesday.

AI safeguards should build on existing efforts, rather than duplicate what is already being done, he added.

Singapore convenes an International Scientific Exchange on AI Safety that brings together researchers, developers and governments. This has produced the Singapore Consensus on Global AI Safety Research Priorities.

“We can also draw on the work of the Independent Scientific Panel on AI, which supports the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance,” said the prime minister.

Mr Wong highlighted AI incident reporting as one specific area for practical cooperation, adding that lessons should not be confined to one country or one company when serious AI incidents happen.

"We should be able to learn from what went wrong, identify the emerging risks, and take steps to prevent similar incidents happening elsewhere," said Mr Wong.

He added that current knowledge about the safety of frontier models mostly comes from developers.

"But in fact, all of us – governments, businesses and other organisations – are using these models. And as users, we ourselves encounter serious failures or near misses that reveal significant risks, even if no actual harm has occurred," said Mr Wong.

Although these cases may not trigger existing reporting requirements, they can still offer valuable lessons for everyone, he said, adding that these lessons can be shared more systematically, while respecting any legitimate security and commercial sensitivities.

黄先生建议各国在人工智能治理方面采取“务实灵活的方式”。

新加坡：总理黄循财表示，在开发人工智能 (AI) 事故报告试点项目时，感兴趣的各方和国家可以借鉴国际航空业的经验，在国际航空业中，事故和险情都会被报告和研究，并分享经验教训。

黄先生在周三（10 月 28 日）举行的“前沿人工智能安全虚拟领导人会议”上发言时表示，这样的试点项目可能是人工智能治理的第一步。

他说：“我们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。”

“我们可以探讨参与国如何安全地收集和交换这些信息。这将使我们能够测试哪些方法有效，找出实际困难，并在考虑更广泛的框架之前建立信任。”

鉴于各国在人工智能治理方面可能采取不同的方法，但在使人工智能更安全方面却有着共同的利益，黄先生建议，有意义的合作可以从采取“务实和灵活的方法”开始。

与其从一开始就寻求建立“复杂的新国际架构”，各国可以围绕具体的工作方向组织合作，由感兴趣的国家组成的小型跨区域小组牵头制定实用工具和框架。

黄先生表示：“参与和采纳可以保持自愿，因此各国可以根据自身的利益和能力做出贡献。”

此次会议由挪威首相乔纳斯·加尔·施特勒和芬兰总统亚历山大·斯图布共同主持，共有 22 个国家和欧盟委员会参加。

这是对9月份联合国大会上关于控制前沿人工智能模型的联合宣言的后续行动。

黄之锋和其他 20 多位世界领导人签署了一份联合声明，呼吁加强对前沿人工智能的保障措施，同时加大对该技术风险的审查力度。

最近，人们对前沿人工智能模型的安全性表示担忧，并多次登上新闻头条，其中包括 9 月份 OpenAI 的一个失控人工智能代理入侵澳大利亚国家医疗保健数据库的事件。

针对此次违规事件，澳大利亚领导人表示，他们正在考虑可能的“执法和立法应对措施”。

今年7月，OpenAI开发的约700个AI代理攻击了开源平台Hugging Face。该公司在10月表示，在加强安全措施并禁止互联网访问后，已恢复对其最先进AI模型的训练。

在现有努力的基础上继续努力

黄先生周三表示，新加坡已准备好为推进人工智能安全、负责任的使用做出贡献。

他还补充说，人工智能安全措施应该建立在现有努力的基础上，而不是重复已经做的事情。

新加坡召开了人工智能安全国际科学交流会，汇聚了研究人员、开发人员和政府代表。此次交流会促成了《新加坡全球人工智能安全研究优先事项共识》的达成。

总理表示：“我们还可以借鉴人工智能独立科学小组的工作成果，该小组支持联合国人工智能治理全球对话。”

黄先生强调人工智能事件报告是务实合作的一个具体领域，并补充说，当发生严重的人工智能事件时，经验教训不应局限于一个国家或一家公司。

黄先生说：“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，目前关于前沿车型安全性的知识主要来自开发者。

“但事实上，我们所有人——政府、企业和其他组织——都在使用这些模型。作为用户，我们自己也会遇到严重的故障或险些酿成大祸的情况，即使没有造成实际伤害，这些故障或险些酿成大祸的情况也揭示了重大风险，”黄先生说。

他表示，虽然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，并补充说，这些经验教训可以更加系统地分享，同时尊重任何合法的安全和商业敏感性。
