I recently went back through nearly every project our engineers have built since 2018 — 181 projects across 100E, AIAP, SIP, AIAP for Industry and LADP (excluding our internal projects and special customer projects) — and mapped each one by the AI technique it used. I wanted to see, with evidence rather than impression, how our…
This week, I was part of a panel in a UK government AI learning journey on AI, and separately I was also asked to comment by a publication on the same subject. I sat down to write the responses and realised something. The answers weren’t really about Singapore. They were about patterns we’ve seen across…
“You are an AI engineer… what do you do?”
If your answer involves PyTorch, data cleaning, or model deployment—you have missed the point.
That is your task. Not what you do.
You hear the statistics. High failure rates. Implementation costs averaging $1.9 million. A workforce largely unprepared for the shift. When you examine global averages, these observations hold water. The confusion is palpable. The costs are substantial. However, we must not confuse a lack of discipline with a lack of potential. At AI Singapore, we have…
Seven years ago, when we launched the AI Apprenticeship Programme (AIAP), people questioned our approach. Real-world projects over academic theory? Skills over degrees? Training passionate self-learners instead of computer science graduates? Today, watching the global tech industry scramble to adapt to AI-augmented workflows, I can confidently say: we were not just ahead of the curve…
When I started with AI Singapore in 2017, my mission was simple – to help 100 companies build AI solutions through our 100 Experiments (100E) programme. Today, that mission has expanded into creating a comprehensive AI ecosystem that positions Singapore as a leading AI-First nation. Recently, I came across Prof Wang Gungwu‘s work, articles, books…
When SMEs approach me about adopting AI, they typically ask: “What AI use cases can I use in my business?” While it seems like a straightforward question, finding the right AI application is not a one-size-fits-all exercise. It’s more art than science, requiring an understanding of both the business context and AI readiness. Beyond the…
