Singapore — Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI

Published22 January 2026Added 9 November 2026

Issued by Infocomm Media Development Authority and AI Verify Foundation.

Summary

Singapore’s Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI provides organisational guidance for deploying AI agents responsibly. It centres on four dimensions: selecting and bounding appropriate use cases, making humans meaningfully accountable through defined approval checkpoints, implementing technical controls across the agent lifecycle, and enabling responsible end use through transparency and training. Version 1.5, published in May 2026 after industry consultation, adds case studies and practices for multi-agent systems, third-party agents and automation bias.

Why it matters

Upfront risk assessment and limits on agent powers; meaningful human accountability and approval checkpoints; lifecycle technical controls and monitoring; end-user transparency and training; additional guidance on multi-agent systems, third-party agents and automation bias.
