SINGAPORE will continue to work with all players, including Chinese firms, to roll out artificial intelligence (AI) technologies needed for a smart city, even while the United States continues to cut business ties with Chinese AI firms because of their countries' ongoing trade spat.

Minister-in-charge of Singapore's Smart Nation Initiative Vivian Balakrishnan said on Tuesday: "That's how we will operate: keep it open."
