MOS Rahayu Mahzam 在巴西馬塞約(Maceió)G20 數碼經濟部長級會議上的發言(2024 年 9 月 13 日)

優先議題 1:數字包容、普遍且有意義的連通性

優先議題 2:數字政府——構建可信、包容的數字公共基礎設施

尊敬的主席

各位閣下

早安。我代表新加坡感謝巴西主席國主辦本次 G20 數碼經濟部長級會議、並感謝各位的盛情款待。感謝邀請新加坡參與這些重要討論。我也和身在馬塞約的同行與朋友們一道——感謝主席國對全年 G20 數碼經濟討論的卓越領導。

在第一項優先議題上——我們歡迎主席國對「數字包容、普遍且有意義連通性」的貢獻。新加坡尤其相信——「不只是給人們提供硬體——還要給他們『有意義參與線上、並安全且彼此尊重地參與』的技能」。在新加坡——我們已經在《新加坡數字社會報告》中開始度量「訪問與技能」。該報告跟蹤新加坡數字社會的狀態——並就「構建包容數字社會」提出建議。我們期待與國際社會更多合作——開發能幫我們打磨「數字包容」工作的指標。

話雖如此——僅靠政府努力來確保數字包容與線上安全是遠遠不夠的。與利益相關方協作——彌合數字鴻溝、推動安全積極的數字空間——至關重要。我們讚賞巴西主席國——不僅與 G20 國家與嘉賓合作,也與其他利益相關方合作——讓我們能作為「生態」推進這一共同願景。

我也很高興——在第二項優先議題(數字政府與包容性數字公共基礎設施)上有進展。我們的生活越來越多地搬到線上——把數字服務線上化也是「拓寬訪問」的關鍵變革——尤其對那些「服務不足或難以觸達」的群體——比如農村社群、行動不便者。今年關於「開放、包容、可互操作的數字公共基礎設施」的重要工作與討論——為「幫助大小國家給公民提供這種服務」的全球努力——再添一份貢獻。

數字公共基礎設施的關鍵一環是「數字身份」。15 歲以上新加坡公民與永久居民中——超過 97% 已擁有數字身份——可與 800 多家政府機構與私營組織、跨 2,700 多項服務進行交易。多年來——我們在推出數字身份方面學到了許多——無論是「技術或安全創新」,還是「在 4 種官方語言上做包容」。我們相信——分享這種經驗——在我們的數字轉型旅程上彼此學習——是有用的。我們因此歡迎主席國就「數字身份治理」的總體原則——為國際社會發展出有用的最佳實踐與標準。

謝謝。

優先議題 3:線上資訊完整性與數字經濟信任

優先議題 4:AI 服務包容可持續發展與不平等減少

感謝主席。

第三項優先議題(線上資訊完整性與數字經濟信任)——是所有國家的關鍵關切——尤其當數字技術無縫整合進我們的日常生活時。線上空間充滿機會——但也帶來誤導資訊、虛假資訊、詐騙等風險。技術與法規能幫助我們緩釋一部分——但每個人也必須承擔起保護自己的責任。政府、產業與公民社會——必須協作——推動數字素養、構建網路韌性、培育對移動數字生態的信任。我們讚賞巴西主席國把這一議題列為優先。

為對抗誤導與虛假資訊——新加坡引入了一組針對性的立法槓桿——包括《保護免受網路謊言與操縱法》(POFMA)與《反外國干預對策法》。這些工具讓政府能迅速回應誤導資訊、虛假資訊與「敵對資訊行動」——這些威脅會侵蝕我們對社會(包括對機構與選舉)的信任。我們承諾繼續構建必要的技術能力——回應誤導與虛假資訊不斷演化的威脅。為應對這些議題與其他線上傷害——我們今年成立了「線上安全先進技術中心」(Centre for Advanced Technologies in Online Safety)——它將幫助我們開發工具,構建更安全的線上生態。

一個安全、穩定、可信、開放、可互操作的網路空間——是收穫數字經濟好處的關鍵。除了監管——公私合作——也是培育數字經濟信任的必要。我們需要持續與科技公司對話——鼓勵他們做更多——加強網路安全姿態、確保其功能不被濫用。新加坡政府也優先推動媒體素養與公眾教育——賦能個人——批判性評估資訊、保護自己免受謊言侵害——包括培育良好的網路衛生習慣。

AI 生成的誤導資訊與深度偽造——尤其在選舉語境下——是日益增長的共同關切。和其他國家一樣——新加坡也在研究——如何在選舉等關鍵時期進一步保護自己——免受 AI 生成的誤導資訊與深度偽造。本週早些時候——我們提交了《選舉(線上廣告完整性)法案》——擬禁止「在選舉期間——以深度偽造或其他數字生成/操縱的方式——展現候選人說或做他們並未說或做的事」。這一舉措凸顯了新加坡政府對「在選舉期間與平時都培育安全資訊空間」的承諾。

新加坡歡迎第四項優先議題(AI 服務包容可持續發展與減少不平等)。新加坡相信——AI 具有變革力量——AI 能用於公共利益——為新加坡,也為世界。在這一願景指引下——我們去年 12 月釋出了更新版《國家 AI 戰略》。更新版戰略涉及——積極參與 AI 研究與部署——並在先進製造、金融服務、醫療、教育、公共服務等領域為有說服力的用例規模化 AI。新加坡公共部門也已擁抱 AI——大模型與我們自家的安全版 ChatGPT——被公職人員用來提升生產力。包容是我們《國家 AI 戰略》的關鍵一面。AI 技術必須以「惠及包括小國在內的所有人」的方式開發與部署。2022 年——我們啟動了「Digital Forum of Small States」——為小國提供一個交流空間——交換數字轉型經驗、共塑共同的數字未來——也包括 AI 治理。

感謝巴西主席國給我們機會——在 G20 數碼經濟通道上分享新加坡經驗、向他人學習。這種交流讓我們彼此學習、培育合作。臨近本屆會議尾聲——也請允許我祝賀這次非常成功的「數碼經濟部長級會議」。

謝謝。

MOS RAHAYU MAHZAM’S INTERVENTIONS AT G20 DIGITAL ECONOMY MINISTERIAL MEETING IN MACEIÓ, BRAZIL (13 SEP 2024)

Priority Issue 1: Digital Inclusion, Universal and Meaningful Connectivity

Priority Issue 2: Digital Government: Building a Trustworthy and Inclusive Digital Public Infrastructure

Distinguished Chair

Excellencies

Good morning. I would like to express Singapore’s appreciation to the Brazilian Presidency for hosting the G20 Digital Economy Ministers’ Meeting and for the warm hospitality. Thank you for inviting Singapore to participate in these important discussions. I join colleagues and friends here in Maceió in also expressing appreciation to the Chair for the excellent leadership of the G20 Digital Economy discussions throughout the year.

On priority issue 1, we welcome the Presidency’s contribution to Digital Inclusion, Universal and Meaningful Connectivity. In particular, Singapore strongly believes that it is not just about providing people with hardware, but also the skills to meaningfully participate online, and do so safely and respectfully. In Singapore, we had already begun some early work in measuring access and skills in our Singapore Digital Society Report. This report tracks the state of digital society in Singapore and recommends ways to build an inclusive digital society. We look forward to more cooperation with the international community to develop indicators that can help us sharpen our efforts in ensuring digital inclusion.

That said, government efforts alone will only go so far in ensuring digital inclusion and online safety. It is crucial to work with stakeholders to close the digital divide and promote safe, positive digital spaces. We commend the Brazilian Presidency for working with not only G20 countries and guests but also other stakeholders so that we can work as an ecosystem to advance our common vision on this front.

I am also pleased that there has been progress on priority issue 2 on Digital Government and Inclusive Digital Public Infrastructure. More of our lives are moving online, and providing digital services online has also been a game-changer in enabling access – especially to underserved and hard-to-reach groups, such as communities in rural areas or persons with mobility challenges. To this end, our important work and discussions this year on open, inclusive and interoperable Digital Public Infrastructure adds to a global effort around helping countries large and small provide such services to their citizens.

A crucial part of Digital Public Infrastructure is digital identity. More than 97% of Singapore citizens and Permanent Residents aged 15 and above have a digital identity and transact with over 800 Government agencies and private sector organisations across more than 2,700 services. Over the years, we have learned many lessons in rolling out digital identity, whether in terms of technical or security innovations, or inclusivity where we accommodate Singapore’s four official languages. We believe that sharing such experiences is useful as we all learn from each other in our digital transformation journeys. We therefore welcome the Presidency’s effort to develop general principles on the governance of digital identity, which can be a useful best practice and standard for the international community.

Thank you.

Priority Issue 3: Integrity of Information Online and Trust in the Digital Economy

Priority Issue 4: AI for Inclusive Sustainable Development and Inequalities Reduction

Thank you Chair.

Priority issue 3 on Integrity of Information Online and Trust in the Digital Economy is a key concern to all countries, especially as digital technologies are seamlessly integrated into our daily lives. The online space, while full of opportunities, also comes with risks such as misinformation, disinformation and scams. Technology and regulations can help us mitigate some of these risks, but every individual must play their part in protecting themselves. Government, industry and civil society must collaborate to promote digital literacy, build cyber resilience and foster trust in the mobile digital ecosystems. We commend the Brazilian Presidency for highlighting this as a priority issue.

To combat misinformation and disinformation, Singapore has introduced a suite of targeted legislative levers, including the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act and the Foreign Interference Countermeasures Act. These provide the Government with the ability to swiftly address misinformation, disinformation, and hostile information campaigns that threaten to erode trust in our society, including trust in our institutions and elections. We are committed to continue building the necessary technological capabilities to respond to the evolving threat of misinformation and disinformation. To address these issues and other online harms, we established the Centre for Advanced Technologies in Online Safety this year. The Centre will allow us to develop tools to build a safer online ecosystem.

A secure, stable, trusted, open and interoperable cyberspace is crucial to reap the benefits of the digital economy. Beyond regulation, public-private partnerships are necessary to fostering trust in the digital economy. We need continued conversations with tech companies to encourage them to do more to strengthen their cybersecurity posture and ensure that their features are not exploited. The Singapore Government also prioritises media literacy and public education. These empower individuals to critically evaluate information and protect themselves against falsehoods, including through fostering good cyber hygiene habits.

AI-generated misinformation and deepfakes, especially in the context of elections, is a growing shared concern. Like other countries, Singapore is looking at ways to further protect ourselves against AI-generated misinformation and deepfakes during critical periods like our elections. Early this week, we tabled the Elections (Integrity of Online Advertising) Bill which proposes to prohibit deepfakes and other digitally generated or manipulated online depictions of electoral candidates, shown saying or doing something that they did not say or do during the election period. This measure underscores the Singapore Government’s commitment to foster a safe information space, both during and outside of elections.

Singapore welcomes priority issue 4 on AI for Inclusive Sustainable Development and Inequalities Reduction. Singapore believes in the transformative power of AI and that AI can be used for the public good, for Singapore and the world. Guided by this vision, we released our updated National AI Strategy last December. The updated strategy involves active participation in AI research and deployment, and scaling up AI for compelling use cases in areas like advanced manufacturing, financial services, healthcare, education and public services. The public service of Singapore has also embraced AI. Large learning models and our own secure version of ChatGPT are used by public officers to improve productivity. Inclusivity is a key aspect of our National AI Strategy. AI technologies must be developed and deployed in a way that benefits everyone including small states. In 2022, we launched the Digital Forum of Small States aimed at providing a space for small states to exchange ideas on our digital transformation journeys, and forge a common digital future, including on AI governance.

We thank the Brazilian Presidency for the opportunity to share Singapore’s experience and to learn from others in this G20 Digital Economy track. Such exchanges allow us to learn from each other, and foster collaboration. As we approach the end of this Session, may I also add my congratulations on the very successful Digital Economy Ministers’ Meeting.

Thank you.
