ARTIFICIAL intelligence (AI) is now foundational not just for business growth, but also for the long-term competitiveness of national economies.
As Prime Minister Lawrence Wong underscored in this year’s National Day message, Singapore must boldly embrace technologies such as AI, especially as larger, better-resourced nations harness innovation to ride the next wave of global transformation.
Regional projections highlight the scale of the opportunity. Deloitte estimates that AI adoption could contribute a staggering US$1 trillion to South-east Asia’s gross domestic product by 2030. Singapore is poised to reap significant benefits; Public First, a UK-based consultancy, estimates potential productivity gains of up to S$27 billion for the Republic’s manufacturing sector alone.
