Singapore aims to be a trusted and neutral destination for collaboration in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) as US-China competition intensifies over demand, technology adoption and policy clashes.
AI developers here must be proficient in various AI models and not get entangled in an increasingly fragmented world, said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing on Oct 7.
Mr Chan was speaking at a panel discussion at The Business Times Asia Future Summit 2024, which is presented by OCBC Bank and organised in partnership with Huawei.
The one-day conference at Shangri-La Singapore focused on AI.
Regarding the Government's plans to grow the nation's proficiency in AI, Mr Chan cited a discussion he had with the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD).
"I gave them a challenge: Can SUTD be an institution unique in the world where you can have the best of both the American and Chinese (AI) models working side by side?" he told the audience of nearly 200 guests.
