Scarcity has shifted, not disappeared: The premise of AI abundance needs sharper evidence

Singapore needs tractable policy questions about AI, not grand narratives about a post-scarcity future

Those arguing for public equity in AI suggest that the technology behind it arises from decades of publicly funded research, and that the public should gain from the upside.

If AI is a public good, nationalisation should be considered

A technology so consequential, potentially disruptive and paradigm-shifting cannot be managed through basic regulation alone

For many decision-makers, the beliefs on AI capabilities will not matter.

The parrot argument about AI is dead. The question now is permission

Adopting AI does not guarantee safety. But not adopting it guarantees exposure

The emergence of frontier artificial intelligence models that can identifiy vulnerabilities in code will likely increase the volume and speed of attacks on IT  infrastructure.

Will the step forward in frontier AI mean a step backward in cybersecurity?

Organisation leaders must rethink their approach to managing IT risks

Many users are so eager to capture AI productivity gains that they are cobbling together a messy mix of tools on risky platforms such as OpenClaw.

AI’s future at work looks more like OpenClaw than OpenAI

An eagerness to move faster will result in companies allocating excessive manpower to maintain systems

As more advanced AI models enter real-world testing, organisations are being forced to contend not just with more sophisticated threats, but with the speed at which they unfold.

Cybersecurity’s Tower of Babel: Why we are still lost in translation

When leadership teams and security functions operate in different languages of risk, critical signals might be dismissed until the problem has escalated

In a world where information is plentiful, judgment – the ability to discern, evaluate and act responsibly – may be more valuable than knowledge alone.

The coming AI-driven ‘abundance’ shock

Singapore has long excelled at navigating scarcity, but the emerging challenge is structurally different

The questions that stall AI roll-outs are practical, not philosophical: Where did this data come from? What rights apply? Can we trace an output back to its inputs when something goes wrong?

Singapore faces AI’s challenge early, and it’s about the data you can prove

Governance that lives only in policy documents fails in production; it must be embedded in how data is collected, shared and used

While voluntary commitments from frontier labs signal intent and set reference points for accountability, soft norms alone cannot bend behaviour towards safety, says the writer.
NEW GLOBAL ORDER

AI governance: The summit stage is necessary but it isn’t sufficient

As the geostrategic environment deteriorates, we must accelerate efforts to boost international coordination and build governance infrastructure

Anthropic has insisted that its technology is not to be used for domestic mass surveillance of Americans, nor to develop or operate fully autonomous weapons systems.
