What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Singapore has been focusing on governing artificial intelligence, with the Infocomm Media Development Authority launching its Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI in January 2026. A ThreatLabz 2026 AI Security report analyzed nearly a trillion enterprise AI and machine learning transactions in 2025 and found that organizations blocked close to four in ten of these transactions outright. Despite these blocks, a PagerDuty Shadow AI survey found that two-thirds of office professionals had used AI tools at work that they believed were not permitted.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The report suggests that simply blocking AI applications on a corporate network does not prevent data from leaving the organization. If employees use personal devices to interact with consumer AI tools, the data still leaves the company premises, regardless of internal logging efforts.
