Google says Singapore has ‘very high’ potential to be a global AI hub
KEY POINTS
1. Singapore has “very high” potential as a global AI hub — thanks in part
to an environment that
fosters innovation, a Google Cloud executive told CNBC.
2.“In order for AI to really deliver on its potential, you need really good
public and private partnerships,” Caroline Yap, managing director, global AI
business and applied engineering at Google Cloud, told CNBC.
3.Through the AI Trailblazers joint initiative, 43 organizations across
government and industry sectors successfully built their own generative AI
solutions utilizing Google’s AI stack.
SINGAPORE — Singapore has “very high” potential as a global AI hub —
thanks in part to an environment that fosters innovation, a Google
Cloud executive told CNBC.
“In order for AI to really deliver on its potential, you need really good
public and private partnerships,” Caroline Yap, managing director, global AI
business and applied engineering at Google Cloud, told CNBC.
Yap was speaking on the sidelines of Explore AI summit in January, a meeting
hosted by Google Cloud and the Singapore government to recognize the top
generative AI solutions from organizations that took part in the “AI
Trailblazers” initiative.
The initiative was first announced in July by Singapore’s Ministry of
Communications and Information, Digital Industry Singapore, Smart Nation and
Digital Government Office, and Google Cloud.
〃... when you do have good public and private partnerships, you can really
start to not just improve the public sector use cases like citizen services,
but you can also foster an environment for innovation,” said Yap.
Singapore was one of the first countries with an AI game plan and in
December, launched the National AI Strategy 2.0 — an updated version of its
plans to expand the use of AI.
As part of the AI trailblazers initiative, two sandboxes were set up to
provide as many as 100 organizations in the city-state with access to Google
Cloud’s high-performance graphical processing units, Vertex AI platform,
pre-trained generative AI models, and low-code developer tools. That enables
to build and test their own generative AI solutions in a controlled and
dedicated cloud-based environment.
Through the joint partnership, 43 organizations across government and
industry sectors successfully built their own generative AI solutions
utilizing Google’s AI stack.
At the same time, it also benefits Singaporeans as a whole, “either as
consumers of these technologies or being in the economy as it grows for these
types of innovation,” said Yap.
On whether other governments are as open and collaborative as Singapore, Yap
told CNBC, “some are, some aren’t.” She did not elaborate on which
countries they were.
“In many ways, Singapore already possesses the right foundations needed to
flourish as a global AI hub,” said Kenddrick Chan, senior policy analyst at
Tony Blair Institute for Global Change.
“The government has launched various AI initiatives, supported local
research on AI and engages private sector tech companies in consultative
dialogues in its policymaking process.”
The Center for Security and Emerging Technology said Singapore’s star “
continues to rise as an AI hub” presenting significant opportunities for
international collaboration. The center is a think tank within Georgetown
University’s Walsh School of Foreign Service.
“Initiatives such as fast-tracking patent approval, incentivizing private
investment, and addressing talent shortfalls are making the country a rapidly
growing global AI hub,” CSET said in a March report.
“There is also thinking at the national level about the ethics and
governance issues of AI. All of this helps position Singapore as a key player
in the global AI landscape,” said Chan.
He added there are “some challenges ahead” for Singapore such as fierce
competition for top AI talent from other hubs.
AI craze
Interest in AI exploded when OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT — which has the
ability to generate humanlike responses to users’ prompts — took the world
by storm in November 2022.
During the Explore AI summit on Jan. 29, Singapore’s Minister for
Communications and Information said partnerships are “yet another important
aspect of good governance.”
“We partner for inclusion. Inclusion means making sure that people not only
have access to the tools, but they are provided with opportunities to grow
the skills that will enable them to use these tools well,” said Josephine
Teo.
Singapore has been making efforts to promote the responsible use of AI.
The country rolled out AI Verify in May 2022 – the world’s first AI
governance testing framework and software toolkit for companies – that
enables users to conduct technical tests on their AI models and record
process checks.
Companies such as Google, Meta
, Microsoft and Singapore Airlines have already tested the AI Verify tool or
provided feedback.

谷歌表示新加坡有‘非常高’的潜力成为全球人工智能中心
要点
新加坡有“非常高”的潜力成为全球人工智能中心 — 这部分归因于促进创新的环境，一
位 Google Cloud 主管告诉 CNBC。
“要让人工智能真正发挥潜力，你需要非常好的公私合作伙伴关系，”Google Cloud 的
全球人工智能业务和应用工程总监 Caroline Yap 在 CNBC 表示。
通过人工智能开拓者联合倡议，来自政府和工业界的 43 家组织成功地利用 Google 的人
工智能技术构建了他们自己的生成式人工智能解决方案。
新加坡 — 新加坡被认为有“非常高”的潜力成为全球人工智能中心 — 这部分归功于促
进创新的环境，一位 Google Cloud 主管告诉 CNBC。
“要让人工智能真正发挥潜力，你需要非常好的公私合作伙伴关系，”Google Cloud 的
全球人工智能业务和应用工程总监 Caroline Yap 在 CNBC 表示。
Yap 在一月份 Explore AI 峰会上发表讲话，这是由 Google Cloud 和新加坡政府主办的
会议，旨在表彰参与“AI 开拓者”倡议的组织中的顶尖生成式人工智能解决方案。
这倡议于七月份由新加坡通讯及资讯部、新加坡数码产业、智慧国家及数码政府办公室以
及 Google Cloud 首次宣布。
“当你有很好的公私合作伙伴关系时，你不仅可以改善公共部门的使用情况，比如市民服
务，而且还可以促进创新环境，”Yap 说。
新加坡是最早制定人工智能计划的国家之一，并在去年十二月推出了国家人工智能战略
2.0 — 这是对扩大人工智能使用计划的更新版本。
作为人工智能开拓者倡议的一部分，设立了两个沙盒，让多达 100 家组织可以使用
Google Cloud 的高性能图形处理单元、Vertex AI 平台、预先训练的生成式人工智能模
型和低代码开发工具。这使他们可以在受控且专用的基于云的环境中构建和测试自己的生
成式人工智能解决方案。
通过联合合作，来自政府和工业界的 43 家组织成功地利用 Google 的人工智能技术构建
了他们自己的生成式人工智能解决方案。
与此同时，这也对新加坡人民有利，“无论是作为这些技术的使用者，还是作为这种创新
的经济增长的一部分，”Yap 说。
对于其他政府是否像新加坡一样开放和合作，Yap 告诉 CNBC，“有些是，有些不是。”
她没有详细说明是哪些国家。
“在许多方面，新加坡已经具备成为全球人工智能中心所需的正确基础，”托尼布莱尔全
球变革研究所的高级政策分析师 Kenddrick Chan 说。
“政府推出了各种人工智能倡议，支持当地的人工智能研究，并在其政策制定过程中与私
营部门的科技公司进行咨询性对话。”
安全与新兴技术中心表示，新加坡作为人工智能中心的地位“不断上升”，为国际合作提
供了重要机遇。该中心是在乔治城大学沃尔什外交学院内的一个智库。
“加快专利审批、激励私人投资、解决人才短缺等举措正在使该国成为快速增长的全球人
工智能中心，”CSET 在三月的报告中表示。
“在国家层面，也在思考人工智能的道德和治理问题。所有这些都有助于使新加坡成为全
球人工智能领域的关键参与者
人工智能热潮
2022年11月，OpenAI的聊天机器人ChatGPT引发了人们对人工智能的兴趣。ChatGPT有能力
生成类似人类回应的讯息，一炮而红。
1月29日的探索人工智能峰会上，新加坡通讯与资讯部部长表示，合作是“良好治理的另
一个重要方面”。
他表示：“我们的合作是为了包容。包容意味着确保人们不仅能够使用工具，还要提供他
们发展技能的机会，以便能够善用这些工具。”Josephine Teo说。
新加坡一直在努力推动负责任的人工智能使用。
2022年5月，新加坡推出了AI Verify - 这是全球首个针对企业的人工智能治理测试框架
和软件工具包 - 使用户能够对其人工智能模型进行技术测试并记录流程检查。
像Google、Meta、Microsoft和新加坡航空等公司已经测试了AI Verify工具或提供了反馈
。
