KPMG opens AI centre to build trusted deployment

KPMG has established a Trusted AI Centre of Excellence in Singapore to help enterprises move from AI pilots to large-scale deployment with a stronger focus on governance, reliability and business value.

The initiative aims to support firms that want to adopt AI more confidently while meeting regulatory and ethical expectations. It is built around a trust-first approach for secure and responsible AI, data reliability and solutions shaped around real business problems.

The centre draws on the firm’s global Trusted AI Framework, which covers 10 ethical pillars including fairness, transparency, accountability, security, privacy, and sustainability.

“Through the KPMG Singapore Trusted AI Centre of Excellence, we are partnering with businesses to rigorously assess where they stand, close the gaps that matter, and build AI that is trusted not just locally but in the markets most critical to their growth. Trusted AI is not a constraint on ambition. Done well, it is the foundation for it,” said Lee Sze Yeng, Managing Partner of KPMG in Singapore.

“KPMG’s Trusted AI Centre of Excellence here in Singapore will enable businesses across diverse sectors – including financial services, healthcare, logistics and manufacturing – to scale use of AI with confidence, supported by robust governance frameworks and assurance capabilities. At the same time, this strengthens Singapore’s growing AI ecosystem by building enterprise capabilities and workforce readiness for AI adoption,” said Jermaine Loy, Managing Director of Singapore Economic Development Board.
