Key points

• SINGAPORE, May 20 (Reuters) - Singapore is in talks with technology companies about attaching "nutrition labels" to AI products, designating their intended uses and limitations, a senior minister said on Wednesday.
• "We may start with a voluntary framework, and then in time...
• we'll see how effective these kinds of labels are before deciding to take the next step," digital development and information minister Josephine Teo told Reuters in an interview.
• The labels, which would be a global first, would apply to consumer applications with AI features, similar to food or medicine labels.
• She said they would indicate the "right ways" and "not-so-correct ways" of using AI.
