Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 1: Lee Hui Ying on the race to a low-carbon future
As Singapore races towards a low-carbon future, one area of growing concern is the significant carbon footprint incurred by the use of generative AI. How can the government ensure its AI development is climate-aligned? How does the ministry intend to quantify Singapore's specific emissions arising from AI development? Are there plans to implement carbon taxes on AI infrastructure to encourage responsible use and what is the expected carbon tax rate considering all known factors? These were some questions raised by MP Lee Hui Ying in parliament on Thursday (Feb 26).
