The meteoric rise of artificial intelligence (“AI“) has been one of the loudest headlines of the past year, with the initial hype quickly translating into real-world impact. As governments and businesses race to fully explore and adopt AI solutions, industry stakeholders have begun looking further into the future of AI.
The Singapore Government has been at the forefront of the AI movement, issuing its first National AI Strategy in 2019. With the rapidly changing landscape of AI technology, Singapore has now launched its National AI Strategy 2.0 (“NAIS 2.0“) on 4 December 2023, which introduces key shifts to propel Singapore as a leader in the field of AI. The wide-ranging strategy in the NAIS 2.0 sets out 15 actions that Singapore will undertake across the identified Systems and Enablers to support Singapore’s AI ambitions over the next three to five years. This includes efforts to intensify AI adoption across industries, ensure a trusted regulatory environment, and the establishment of both human and physical infrastructure (such as AI training programmes and data centres).
This Update highlights the key actions and features of the NAIS 2.0 and what it means for AI development, adoption and regulation in Singapore in the coming years.
