APAC countries are adopting widely different AI regulatory frameworks ranging from binding, risk-based systems with compliance obligations in South Korea and Vietnam, targeted regulation in China, to voluntary, principles-based approaches focused on innovation in Japan, Singapore, and Australia.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ The Wire takeaway

AI businesses must navigate sharply different rules depending on the Asia-Pacific country, making compliance a gatekeeper for market access. Founders targeting South Korea or Vietnam should prioritise early design for risk assessments and user transparency to enter these large markets.
