Comparing EU and UK approaches towards AI regulation: lessons for Singapore

Abstract

The acceleration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) globally has sparked a wave of innovation and technological advancement. There is a growing need to adequately regulate the field of AI in a manner that protects the consumers without stifling innovation within the tech industry as authorities scramble to regulate and evaluate its repercussions. This paper utilises rule utilitarianism as a theory to develop a Singaporean approach to AI regulations. In so doing, it will analyse the differing approaches of the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) as case studies to better develop an approach suitable for Singapore
