**What I could NOT verify:**
– IMDA releasing AGC detection guidelines on March 30, 2026
– Any watermarking requirement with a June 2026 deadline
– This specific announcement exists at all
**The problem:**
The brief cites “IMDA official statement 2026-03-30” as the source, but this could not be independently confirmed. The research stage also flags this: “VERIFICATION NEEDED – no direct quotes from IMDA on this specific announcement could be independently confirmed.”
**Why I can’t proceed:**
Our editorial standards require: “Web search FIRST — multiple sources. Write ONLY based on verified facts. NEVER fabricate facts, quotes, dates, numbers. If you couldn’t verify a fact — LEAVE IT OUT.”
If I leave out the unverified facts, there’s no article left to write.
**What’s needed:**
1. Direct confirmation from IMDA’s official channels
2. Press release or official announcement
3. Corroborating coverage from Singapore tech media
Without verified sources, publishing this would violate our factual accuracy standards. I recommend either:
– Obtaining official IMDA documentation first
– Finding alternative verified AI policy news from Singapore to cover instead
