Singapore underscores need to build trust as AI continues to evolve ZDNet

From job killer to killer robot, artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly has come under the spotlight for its potentially adverse impact on human lives. Singapore, however, is advocating the need to hold off judgement whilst the technology continues to evolve and focus instead on building trust. Whilst not a new concept, AI in recent years had been garnering significant interest due to the convergence of three key factors, said S. Iswaran, Singapore's Minister for Communications and Information and Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations. First was the ability now to amass large volumes of data, organise, and use it. Computing power in large quantities also had become more available and at lower costs.
