Generative AI is the buzzword these days but at the same time, numerous issues are created by the use of AI. Well-known tech companies and the Singapore government have come together to address these issues. One of the outcomes is the creation of a toolkit, AI Verify, to check for issues. This tooklit is now made available to anyone to use on an open-source basis. While generative AI has clear advantages and applications, its use should encompass transparency and accountability, be cognizant of bias, and have the ability to take remedial action.
