As artificial intelligence deployment accelerates across Southeast Asia, DEFA Chapter 5 seeks to establish common AI safety and governance baselines. This dashboard measures national alignment with the landmark ASEAN Guide on AI Ethics and Governance (2024), evaluating algorithmic risk classification, AI training copyright exemptions, state automated decision audit rights, and real-time algorithmic harm telemetry.
