Chamet expands AI checks as Singapore tightens app rules

Chamet, a live video chat app operated by Hong Kong-based tech company HK Fuliao, is expanding its use of AI-based checks. The move comes as Singapore tightens its rules.

Regulation raises the pressure

Singapore's stricter approach adds to the pressure on live video and social platforms to show they can police their services. Chamet's decision to extend AI checks is positioned against that backdrop.

The company behind the app, HK Fuliao, is headquartered in Hong Kong. Further details on the scope of the new checks and the specific Singapore requirements were not available at the time of writing.

What to watch

For users, the practical effect of expanded AI checks will depend on how and where they are applied. For the wider industry, Singapore's tougher stance is a signal that operators of live chat services may need to invest more in automated safeguards.
