AI Verify Testing Framework
A structured, internationally aligned AI testing framework from Singapore offers a practical benchmarking reference for APS agencies developing their own responsible AI evaluation approaches.
Key points
- Singapore's AI Verify Foundation developed an 11-principle testing framework covering transparency, safety, fairness, and accountability.
- The framework aligns with ASEAN, EU, OECD, and US AI governance frameworks, giving it cross-jurisdictional reference value.
- This item is a MIT AI Risk Repository blog spotlight - the substantive content originates from a 2023 Singapore Government document.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Consider Agencies developing or reviewing AI assurance or evaluation frameworks could assess whether AI Verify's 11-principle structure offers useful benchmarking against Australia's responsible AI policy obligations.
- Monitor Policy teams tracking international AI governance convergence may want to monitor how Singapore's AI Verify framework evolves, given its explicit alignment with ASEAN, EU, OECD, and US standards.

The MIT AI Risk Repository spotlights Singapore's AI Verify Testing Framework, developed by the AI Verify Foundation and demonstrated via a sample binary classification credit-risk report. The framework organises 11 AI ethical principles across five areas - transparency, explainability, safety and resilience, fairness, and management and oversight - into a toolkit of technical tests and process checks for evaluating responsible AI in both traditional and generative AI deployments. It was developed through multi-sector consultation and is explicitly aligned with ASEAN, EU, OECD, and US AI governance frameworks. For APS practitioners, it offers a concrete comparative reference point alongside Australia's existing responsible AI policy settings.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Consider] Agencies developing or reviewing AI assurance or evaluation frameworks could assess whether AI Verify's 11-principle structure offers useful benchmarking against Australia's responsible AI policy obligations.
- [Monitor] Policy teams tracking international AI governance convergence may want to monitor how Singapore's AI Verify framework evolves, given its explicit alignment with ASEAN, EU, OECD, and US standards.
