ASTM International and Enterprise Singapore Identify Five Gaps Hindering Embodied AI Deployment

On November 3, ASTM International and Enterprise Singapore, through the Singapore Standards Council (SSC), released a white paper titled 'Future Pathways for Embodied AI Standardization' that outlines five priority areas for standardization to support wider adoption of intelligent physical systems. The document, co-authored by A*STAR and the National Robotics Programme following a July 2025 seminar with over 140 industry and academic participants, addresses data governance, AI reliability, workplace safety, interoperability, and procurement certification. It serves as an initial step in standard-setting rather than a vendor-issued certification available for immediate claim.
