Data Protection in the Lion City: Addressing Singapore's Growing Need for AI Governance

In the ever-evolving digital landscape, data protection has become a paramount concern for businesses and individuals alike. Singapore, a global hub for technology and innovation, is no exception to this trend. The city-state has seen a significant increase in data leaks, with public officers reporting 178 cases of data leaks by the Singapore Government in the year that ended on March 31, a sharp 65% increase.

Singapore government's efforts in strengthening data security in FY2021 were centered on the five desired outcomes of a robust data security regime. Despite these efforts, there is still a high level of concern among Singapore consumers about how companies use their data. Almost half (46%) of Singaporean consumers say they have a vague idea about data privacy laws.
