    【新加坡】财政部长 Lawrence Wong 在周四（2月12日）的预算案演讲中表示，为帮助员工应对人工智能（AI）在职场日益普及的趋势，政府将提供更多相关的支持。

    其中包括，为参加指定人工智能培训课程的新加坡人提供为期六个月的高级版人工智能工具免费使用权。

    同时兼任总理的 Wong 指出，虽然大多数人工智能工具的基础版是免费的，但使用更高级的模型则需要付费订阅。 

    他说，能够使用高级版本，将有助于鼓励学习，让员工能够“练习、试验并应用所学知识”。  

    尽管如此，Wong 总理承认，虽然“技能创前程”网站上有各种各样的人工智能相关课程可供选择，但“在众多选项中找到方向并确定最相关的内容并非易事”。

    为此，“技能创前程”网站将进行重新设计，使人工智能学习路径更清晰、更易于访问，以便新加坡人能够“快速找到符合其工作需求和能力水平的课程”。

    Wong 总理表示，为了支持员工过渡到人工智能赋能的经济，政府将帮助他们建立实用的人工智能能力。该计划将从会计和法律专业人士开始，并逐步扩展到其他领域。

    Wong 总理表示，关于人工智能相关举措的更多详情，将由数码发展及新闻部、教育部、人力部以及贸易与工业部在各自的国会拨款委员会辩论中公布。
