Budget 2024 debate: Jamus Lim on AI strategies and the SkillsFuture programme
Goals outlined in the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2.0 are laudable but incomplete, said MP Jamus Lim in Parliament on Tuesday (Feb 27). He stated that the impending structural shifts that Singapore's economy will face will alter the way that businesses, workers and students operate. He also pointed out that small- and medium-sized enterprises in non-tech and non-professional sectors must be presented with strong and urgent incentives to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) or risk falling behind. He added that Singapore should aim to create an environment where its businesses are AI-enabled and workers AI-savvy, which will naturally attract investments from abroad. He also stressed the need and value of alternative forms of knowledge beyond the classroom and called for SkillsFuture Credits to be allowed to be used for alternative learning modes, such as apprenticeship programmes or on-the-job training.
