The CoE is a Singapore-based team of AI and software professionals leveraging KPMG’s regional and global talent pool, with initial focus across Financial Services, Infrastructure, Logistics, Manufacturing, Government, Healthcare, and Real Estate.

Initial scalable AI focus sectors include Financial Services, Infrastructure/Logistics, Manufacturing, Government, Healthcare, and Real Estate, with partnerships across technology firms, academia, and government agencies.

KPMG unveils Trusted AI Assurance, an evidence-based framework aligned with global standards (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, Singapore Model AI Governance) to help Singaporean businesses assess and govern AI deployment across governance, systems, regulatory compliance, and security.

The program aims to align Singapore’s national AI ambition with responsible governance, workforce readiness, and a robust ecosystem to sustain Singapore as a trusted AI hub.

At launch, four interactive windows—AI Philosophy, AI Journey, AI Vision, and AI Ecosystem—demonstrated practical applications of trusted AI, including DG GenAI, KPMG Clara Intelligence, and Kiara, with a focus on human-centric adoption and workforce transformation.

The initiative features practical demonstrations and windows showing governance, client-zero deployments, workforce transformation, and SME enablement, with partnerships across technology firms, academia, and government agencies.

Client Zero demonstrations, such as DG GenAI, KPMG Clara Intelligence, and Kiara, were shown in live workflows to illustrate governance-backed AI deployment.

Annex details translate the Four Doors and Trusted AI Assurance into practical demonstrations across governance, systems, and regulatory readiness.

The initiative emphasizes SME inclusion through the DBS Spark GenAI programme and DBS SME AI Playbook to democratize trusted AI adoption for smaller businesses and integrate them into Singapore’s AI ecosystem.

AI CoE’s Four Doors framework structures Value, Trust, People, and Data & Technology as pillars to guide organizations from pilots to scalable, trusted AI across Financial Services, Government, Healthcare, Real Estate, Infrastructure, and Manufacturing.
