Navigating Governance Frameworks - for Generative AI Systems in the Asia-Pacific A

Leveraging the Future of Privacy Forum (FPF)’s global work on governance and regulation of AI,1 FPF’s Asia-Pacific (APAC) office commenced a research project on the regulatory and governance landscape for generative AI systems and LLMs in the APAC region in April 2023. [...] Section 1 of the Report charts early regulatory responses to generative AI in the 5 APAC jurisdictions. [...] It highlights data protection law as a key source of legal obligations for developers and deployers of generative AI systems due to the use of personal data in training these systems. [...] Section 3 highlights takeaways for policymakers and developers and deployers of generative AI, including but not limited to those in industry, in the APAC region to foster responsible governance of generative AI. [...] Amongst the key takeaways for developers and deployers of generative AI are that robust internal AI governance structures, data management practices, privacy protection processes, security safeguards, and transparency measures are widely recognized building blocks for responsible development and deployment of generative AI systems.
