Who should lead the regulation of AI? Government has the tools to require compliance, but risks constraining innovation. Industry has the know-how to ensure relevance, but risks self-interest trumping consumer protection. This debate will discuss whether AI should be regulated by industry or by government, covering perspectives on how regulation – broadly understood to include rules, standards, and supervised self-regulation – can and should balance reaping the benefits of AI against minimising avoidable harms. Getting this balance right is important not only to ensure that AI is trustworthy, but it will also determine whether consumers do in fact trust it in practice.

In April 2016, the Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) declared War on Diabetes to rally a whole-of-nation effort to reduce the diabetes burden in the population. According to MOH, we can expect one in two Singaporeans aged 70 to suffer from Type 2 diabetes by 2050; that's one million people of our population. The cost of diabetes treatment is increasing at double-digit rates throughout Asia. In Singapore alone, over S$1 billion is spent each year managing diabetes - a cost that digital healthcare technology aims to reduce.
