Self-driving vehicles, dating apps able to give relationship advice, humanoid robots that crack jokes and get upset… With a market expected to reach $35,870 million by 2025 globally from its direct revenue sources, artificial intelligence (AI) is not just the subject of science fiction books but a very real possibility for everyday life.

In the ASEAN region, AI adoption rates are currently on the rise and growth has almost doubled in comparison to last year, according to a study carried out by IDC . Top AI uses in Southeast Asia include algorithmic market forecasting and automated asset and infrastructure management.

Last year, a national initiative called AI Singapore was set “to catalyse, synergise and boost Singapore’s AI capabilities to power [Singapore’s] future, digital economy.”

It also brings together Singapore-based research institutions and AI startups and companies.
During its launch, the NRF announced that it will invest up to S$150 million (US$111 million) in the programme over a five-year period. And although there are still burning ethical issues surrounding the AI project and many more will keep emerging as it develops, Singapore is ready to embrace this priceless opportunity for its population and economy.
