The one-day conference at Shangri-La Singapore focused on AI. \n\n\n\nRegarding 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). \n“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.\n“We want to be seen as a trusted and neutral place where people can bring the best of technology together to collaborate and not just to compete.” \n\n\n\nMr Chan’s remarks came as countries keep a close watch on developments between the US and China, which can impact global trade, innovation and other benefits of cooperation between the two tech powerhouses.\n\nAdoption of the technology developed in different countries is not a matter of prioritising where the AI models come from, but choosing the tools that will benefit the nation, said Mr Chan. \n“We are practical people,” he said, adding: “Our test of the pudding is whether it is going to benefit us, wherever it comes from – India, China, US or Europe, or anywhere.”\nSingapore also cannot simply adopt AI tools for the sake of it, but to ensure that they are useful. \n\n\n\nGrowing expertise in AI for less sensitive uses like design, for instance, is a suitable area for Singapore to carve a niche and “to build trust in a fragmented world”, he said. \nHe also cited Singapore’s South-east Asian Languages In One Network (Sea-Lion) as an example of the Republic plugging a gap in the market. \nDeveloped by AI Singapore, the agency driving the growth of the technology here, Sea-Lion is a network of ChatGPT-like large language models that are specifically trained for South-east Asian uses to ensure that there is an AI that captures the region’s cultural nuances and languages. \nThe panel discussion also featured OCBC group chief operating officer Lim Khiang Tong, AI Singapore senior director of AI products Leslie Teo and moderator Claressa Monteiro from The Business Times. \nNot an “arms race” \nWhile the conference is themed “The Next Arms Race”, Mr Chan cautioned the audience against viewing global AI developments as an “arms race” where one party gains at the expense of the other. \n“I’m not sure it has the right nuance. When people talk about an arms race, it connotes a competitive dynamic, which is a zero-sum game,” he said. \n“If we do this well, (AI) can benefit all of us,” said Mr Chan, noting AI’s potential to boost productivity in the economy. \nAgreeing with Mr Chan, AI Singapore’s Dr Teo said the country’s AI developers work together with big tech players such as Google and Meta for greater representation of the region’s needs.  \n“I don’t like this ‘arms’ kind of mindset,” said Dr Teo. “We are working together... And in doing so, we give Singaporeans an opportunity to play at the global level.” \nHe also said that Singapore’s small size is an advantage for collaborators in AI development as systems can be deployed faster than in larger countries. \n\n\n\n\n\nMore On This Topic\n\n \n\nS’pore refreshes Smart Nation goals with plans to tackle digital harms, accelerate AI know-how \n\n\n\n \n\nInteractive: Are you working hard or working smart?","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.1","shortVersion":"4.29.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2473090120"}
