PM Lawrence Wong joins Jonas Gahr Støre and Alexander Stubb to advance AI incident reporting and international cooperation.
Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong joined Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb at a virtual meeting on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, to discuss practical ways to advance the Joint Declaration on frontier artificial intelligence (AI) safety, which Singapore endorsed in September. The discussion focused on international cooperation on AI safety, particularly the development of approaches to reporting incidents involving frontier AI models.
The meeting provided an opportunity for the leaders to consider how participating countries could translate the Joint Declaration into practical measures. AI incident reporting was identified as one area where cooperation could help governments and other organisations better understand emerging risks associated with frontier AI systems.
Prime Minister Wong highlighted the importance of learning from AI incidents to identify potential risks and prevent harm. He drew a comparison with international aviation, where incidents and near misses are examined to improve safety practices and prevent similar occurrences.
He emphasised the value of establishing a comparable culture of learning and prevention for frontier AI. This would involve sharing lessons from governments, businesses and other organisations that use frontier AI models, including information about serious failures and near misses that do not result in actual harm.
The approach would allow stakeholders to identify patterns, understand potential vulnerabilities and improve their responses to AI-related risks. Systematic incident reporting could also help organisations learn from one another’s experiences rather than addressing similar challenges independently.
Prime Minister Wong proposed that interested countries could begin with a pilot initiative on AI incident reporting. The pilot would allow participating countries to develop and test practical methods for sharing information securely.
The proposed approach would provide an opportunity to assess how incident information could be exchanged effectively while building confidence among participating countries. Lessons from the pilot could then inform further discussions on a broader framework for international cooperation on frontier AI safety.
The meeting reflected Singapore’s engagement with international efforts to promote the safe development and use of advanced AI technologies. By exploring practical mechanisms for incident reporting, participating countries could work towards more systematic approaches to identifying risks, sharing lessons and preventing harm associated with frontier AI systems.
