Debate on President’s speech: Ang Wei Neng on community-based hubs for residents to embrace technology

Singapore can and must do more to support workers who may be displaced by generative artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, said MP Ang Wei Neng. Speaking in parliament on Tuesday (Sep 23), he stressed the need to embrace technology and ensure that no one is left behind. Beyond the measures already introduced by the government, there should be community-based learning hubs, just like there are libraries and community centres in every town, he said. Create a learning space where residents can get hands-on exposure to digital tools, guided by trainers and volunteers, he added.
