The Tomorrow Workforce Champions Ethical AI in SCS’s AI Ethics and Governance Book of Knowledge 2.0

The Tomorrow Workforce, a pioneering deep-tech company specializing in advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and software engineering, has made notable contributions to the Singapore Computer Society’s (SCS) AI Ethics and Governance Book of Knowledge 2.0. This comprehensive guide outlines ethical standards and best practices for the responsible development and use of AI in Singapore and beyond. Under the leadership of founder and CEO Philip Chua, The Tomorrow Workforce is playing a central role in promoting the ethical integration of AI across industries.

 

Everyday AI: A Strategic Focus

A key theme in The Tomorrow Workforce’s contribution is the concept of Everyday AI—the seamless integration of AI into daily business operations and personal life. Whether enhancing customer experiences, streamlining e-commerce, improving education and healthcare, or optimizing public services, Everyday AI has the potential to transform how we live and work.

​

However, this transformation must be underpinned by strong governance. The Tomorrow Workforce emphasizes the importance of fairness, transparency, and regulatory compliance to prevent common pitfalls such as data privacy breaches, bias, and opaque decision-making processes.

​

With deep expertise in machine learning (ML) and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), the company has helped shape the practical guidelines in the Book of Knowledge 2.0 to ensure that Everyday AI is not only effective but also responsible and trustworthy.

Pillars of Ethical AI Deployment
The Tomorrow Workforce’s contributions to the Book of Knowledge focus on several essential pillars of ethical AI deployment

​

These include:

Data Quality: The company advocates for strong data management practices. Since AI systems rely heavily on the quality and diversity of training data, ensuring that datasets are accurate and representative is vital to minimizing bias and promoting fairness.

​

Bias Detection and Mitigation: One of the most critical challenges in AI is addressing bias. The Tomorrow Workforce recommends proactive measures to detect and reduce bias during the training phase using fairness metrics and ethical evaluation frameworks to ensure equitable treatment of all users.

​

Transparency and Accountability: Trust in AI requires transparency. The company stresses the importance of making AI-driven decisions understandable to users and encourages organizations to maintain thorough documentation of AI development processes to ensure traceability and accountability.

 

Regulatory Compliance: Compliance with global regulations—such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)—is another focus area. The Tomorrow Workforce highlights the need for AI systems to align with ethical and legal standards, enabling organizations to avoid regulatory risks and promote public trust.

​

Shaping the Future of AI Ethics

At the heart of these initiatives is Philip Chua, CEO of the AI Ethics and Governance Steering Committee at SCS, who has worked closely with The Tomorrow Workforce to develop governance frameworks that prioritize ethical considerations in AI. This collaboration reflects the company’s overarching mission: to ensure AI innovations serve humanity responsibly and sustainably.

​

Through its involvement in the AI Ethics and Governance Book of Knowledge 2.0, The Tomorrow Workforce is helping lay a strong ethical foundation for the widespread adoption of AI. The company's leadership and vision continue to influence how organizations can deploy AI technologies that are not only powerful but also principled.
