What types of personal data are covered by AI training guidelines?

Question

Accepted Answer

Singapore’s AI training guidelines cover specific categories of personal data, including biometric and financial records.

From today, organisations in Singapore that use personal data to develop or improve generative AI models must provide AI-specific notifications describing the types of personal data used. The categories highlighted include names, contact details, photographs, voice recordings, biometric information, and financial or transaction records.
The guidelines list names and contact details among covered data
The notifications are intended to make it clearer how companies handle information such as a person’s name and contact details when it is used for generative AI development or deployment. This means users should receive disclosures that address these basic identifiers in the context of AI training.
Media and communication data such as photographs and voice recordings are included
The covered categories also include photographs and voice recordings. Under the new approach, organisations are expected to inform users through AI-specific notifications when such data is used to develop or improve generative AI models.
Biometric information is explicitly part of the covered categories
Biometric information is directly named as one of the personal data types that the notifications should cover. This is part of the broader aim to improve transparency about how personal data is handled in generative AI processes.
Financial and transaction records are also covered
The disclosures are also meant to cover financial or transaction records. The overall effect is that, for these named categories, consumers in Singapore should be told that their data is being used for AI training, even though the guidelines do not require a standard notice format or an opt-out mechanism.
