Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 3: Sharael Taha on AI as strategic advantage and digital for good
If Singapore is to harness AI as a strategic advantage, three enablers must move together - deep and broad workforce capabilities, widespread enterprise adoption and strong ethical governance. With the government’s introduction of several grants, what measurable progress has Singapore made in accelerating AI transformation and where are the gaps? MP Sharael Taha raised these and other questions in parliament on Monday (Mar 2). He also wanted to know how the government ensures technology is truly a force for good and asked how it has strengthened digital delivery of essential services, particularly for persons with special needs.
