    SENSITIVE sectors, such as banking, healthcare and the public sector, will soon be able to tap telco giant Singtel’s artificial intelligence (AI) cloud offering.

    The company launched its offering, called RE:AI, on Thursday (Oct 10) at its George Street office, along with five memorandums of understanding with academia, industry players and AI startups.

    Bill Chang, chief executive of Singtel’s Digital InfraCo unit, said at a media briefing that unlike other cloud players that may bring AI hardware to Singapore, the company has the advantage of being a home-grown player that is focused on the local market.
