Budget 2024 debate: Tan Wu Meng on AI, energy security and social togetherness
In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), what happens when deepfakes are able to make videos of events which never happened? What happens if you have deepfake videos of public figures saying things they never said, doing things they never did? MP Tan Wu Meng raised these questions in Parliament on Monday (Feb 26). Turning to energy security, he reiterated the need to diversify Singapore’s energy sources. He pointed out that the Future Energy Fund will allow Singapore to move quickly and seize opportunities in the energy sector. He also asked if Singapore’s social reserves are being weakened due to the way new HDB developments are built, and called on the Government to set up an SG Togetherness Office.
