AI in Asia-Pacific, across several rulebooks.
Groups in Asia-Pacific build AI under regional frameworks while selling into Europe. Strategy has to hold across jurisdictions.
§ 01
Regional frameworks are taking shape.
South Korea’s AI Basic Act took effect in January 2026. Japan adopted its AI Promotion Act in 2025. Singapore’s IMDA published a Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI in 2026.

For groups selling AI products or services into Europe, the EU AI Act adds a further layer, with obligations that apply wherever the provider is established.
- Singapore: financial services, regulatory dialogue
- Hong Kong: banking, real estate
- Tokyo and Seoul: manufacturing, consumer technology
- Sydney: resources, public sector
