AI firm Taiger gives clients more bite in slashing costs
CEO Sinuhe Arroyo is a man on a mission whose Singapore-based firm is poised to go global.
ARTIFICIAL intelligence (AI) is being bandied about as the latest buzzword in almost every sector. Singapore-based AI company Taiger is among the few which have managed to turn the technology's potential into real gains. The company's products include a tool that can help banks slash back office costs by more than 80 per cent, as well as a multilingual chatbot whose talents include processing Singlish.
Founder and chief executive Sinuhe Arroyo - who hails from Spain - also has plans to set up an AI academy here. Mr Arroyo taught himself programming at the age of 10 and went on to complete his PhD in Computer Science (Computational Semantic Technology) from the University of Innsbruck (Austria) as well as an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
Mr Arroyo founded Taiger eight years ago as a spinoff from his research in AI. The company has developed three products - a chatbot, called iConverse; an enterprise search tool, called iSearch; and an information extraction tool called iMatch.
