Singapore keeps abreast of advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure its benefits can be enjoyed in a trusted and safe manner.

Replying to an MP’s question in Parliament on Tuesday (May 9), Dr Janil said the Public Service has introduced guidelines for public officers using similar technologies to draft documents.
