Pairing the power of centralised data centres with speed and efficiency of local compute can maximise Republic’s potential in the technology
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.
