Rahayu Mahzam on making AI adoption inclusive
The Government aims to make the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) inclusive and accessible to all Singaporeans by ensuring broad access to AI tools and offering tailored support for different skill levels, said Minister of State for Digital Development and Information Rahayu Mahzam. Replying to a Parliamentary question on Wednesday (Oct 16), she noted that studies have highlighted a gender disparity in the adoption of AI globally, reflecting the broader trend of under-representation of women across the technology sector. Ms Rahayu said women in Singapore are doing well compared with the global average; they are open to participating in the tech industry and embracing new technologies like AI. She highlighted various initiatives to attract, retain and develop women in tech, as well as encourage AI adoption across all groups while targeting the needs and varying competencies of specific groups.
