To build AI talent, OpenAI will collaborate with Singapore\u2019s education sector on building programmes and research partnerships.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThese hands-on workshops under a Singapore chapter of the OpenAI Academy, our online training platform, as well as Codex for Teachers hackathons, help ensure AI is developed in a teacher-led, responsible and equitable way,\u201d said OpenAI and MDDI.<\/p>\n
OpenAI will also continue collaborating with IMDA and AI Singapore (AISG) under the AIxTech programme to build AI fluency among tech professionals.<\/p>\n
This includes providing access to OpenAI’s Codex to enable hands-on training with AI tools, augmenting online exercises in AIxTech with optional modules, and participating in community efforts such as contributing e-resources and leading expert-led sessions on their AI stack.<\/p>\n
OpenAI will also launch a forward-deployed engineer programme in Singapore to train mid-career software engineers in building real-world AI systems, helping develop a pipeline of specialised AI deployment talent.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re excited to partner with Singapore as it builds on its position as a global leader in AI,\u201d said OpenAI chief revenue officer Denise Dresser.<\/p>\n \u201cSingapore has strong technical talent, trusted institutions, and a clear ambition to use AI to drive long-term growth and improve people\u2019s lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThrough OpenAI for Singapore, we want to help more organisations put frontier AI to work, develop local talent, and expand access to the benefits of AI.\u201d<\/p>\n Singapore is one of the top-three markets globally for per-capita ChatGPT adoption, OpenAI said, adding that the nation is also in the top five countries globally for Codex usage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n In his May Day Rally earlier this month, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said the authorities will take deliberate steps to ensure the benefits of AI are shared broadly, as the technology reshapes industries and transforms the Singapore economy.<\/p>\n \u201cThe government will provide the tools, the pathways, and the support. But we also need Singaporeans to step forward. Do not let anxiety or uncertainty hold you back from learning and using AI,\u201d Mr Wong said.<\/p>\n \u201cAI is here to stay. So, embrace it, learn it, use it and master it.\u201d<\/p>\n In his Budget speech earlier this year, Mr Wong announced that Singaporeans who take up selected AI training courses will receive six months of free access to premium AI tools.<\/span><\/p>\n MDDI and OpenAI said on Wednesday that through their partnership, Singaporeans, businesses, and startups will gain greater access to AI tools and expertise.<\/p>\n Other initiatives include \u201ccitizen-centric AI applications to improve and transform how citizens interact with public services, AI accelerator programmes offering technical consultancy and support for local and international startups, and workshops for micro-entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises,\u201d said MDDI and OpenAI.<\/p>\n \u201cLocalised content will also be developed for SkillsFuture programmes to support broad-based AI capability development across the population.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\nAI FOR ALL<\/h2>\n
