How Asian Regulators are Shaping AI and Data Governance

As artificial intelligence rapidly moves from experimentation to deployment, Asian privacy regulators are shifting decisively from guidance to governance and enforcement. This session brings together senior privacy leaders from Singapore, the Philippines and Thailand for a candid, cross‑jurisdictional conversation on how governments are translating principles‑based privacy laws into practical expectations for AI systems, automated decision‑making and data‑driven innovation.

Drawing on Singapore’s PDPC AI Advisory Guidelines and assurance tools, the Philippines’ NPC binding guidance on AI systems under the Data Privacy Act, and Thailand’s PDPA enforcement actions, alongside emerging risk‑based AI regulation, regulators will share how oversight priorities are evolving, where companies are falling short and what “good” looks like in 2026. Moderated discussion will focus on enforcement signals, accountability across the AI lifecycle, and how companies can build trust‑by‑design while remaining innovation‑ready in a tightening regulatory environment.

What you will learn:

• How regulators are applying existing privacy laws to AI now, including lifecycle accountability and human oversight.

• Key enforcement signals and compliance gaps regulators are seeing in AI and data use.

• Where ASEAN AI and privacy regulation is heading, and how companies should prepare.
