Singapore’s small size gives it an edge in building AI-ready workforce: Gan Kim Yong

SINGAPORE – Being small can be an advantage for Singapore in the global race to build an artificial intelligence-ready workforce, said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong.

“Being very compact, (it) is a lot easier for us to push down this training and upgrading programme on AI and AI literacy. In countries with huge populations, it’s a lot harder to do so,” he said.
