Budget 2026 debate: Andre Low on Singapore's vision for AI
How can Singapore own AI technology rather than just renting it? How can the government protect the worker who is being asked to adapt in this new age and ensure that the gains are shared with the people who helped create them? NCMP Andre Low raised these questions in parliament on Thursday (Feb 26). He also reiterated his call for a redundancy insurance scheme and proposed a targeted retraining tax credit to firms that can demonstrate that they have reskilled a specific worker into an AI-augmented role, instead of retrenching them.
