Copyright Act 2021 — Section 244 (Computational Data Analysis Exception)
Core Point
AI training safe harbour: lawfully accessed content may be used for AI model training, text and data mining and similar purposes without constituting copyright infringement.
Detailed Note
Section 244 of the Copyright Act 2021 ("Computational Data Analysis") provides an explicit safe harbour for the use of training data for AI. "Lawfully accessed" means content obtained through normal channels — subscriptions, purchases, legitimate APIs, public web pages and so on. This makes Singapore one of the jurisdictions with the clearest stated position on AI training and copyright globally, and is a core reason EDB has been able to attract OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind and similar institutions.
Position in the Legal Framework
"Computational Data Analysis" 例外讓 AI 訓練資料使用免責。與日本《著作權法》第 30-4 條並列。美國仍在 fair use 案例法爭議中、歐盟需依賴 TDM Exception 的 opt-out 機制——新加坡和日本是世界上目前唯二明確寫入法律的國家。
