ASEAN has launched an expanded guide on AI Governance and Ethics, focusing on generative AI. This updated guide, introduced at the ASEAN Digital Ministers Meeting 2025, aims to manage risks and promote responsible AI use. It builds on a previous version that identified six major risks associated with AI technology, including deepfakes and privacy concerns.
The guide encourages member states to voluntarily adopt its recommendations, fostering alignment in AI policies across the region. Additionally, ASEAN anticipates that AI could significantly boost the region's GDP, potentially adding $1 trillion by 2030. This initiative reflects a proactive approach to addressing the challenges posed by advanced AI technologies.
