On 17 January 2025, during the 5th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Digital Ministers adopted the Expanded Guide on Artificial Intelligence (AI) Governance and Ethics. This guide builds on the 2024 ASEAN Guide on AI Governance and Ethics by addressing additional challenges and opportunities presented by generative AI. It also provides policy recommendations across ecosystem dimensions, including trusted development and deployment, incident reporting, and content provenance. The guide provides four use cases covering companies in ASEAN countries to demonstrate how its policy recommendations could be adopted.
