AI for traditional industries

GIC's annual thought leadership event, GIC Insights, was held here on 15 September 2017. It saw 110 prominent global business leaders deliberate long-term issues relevant to the international business and investment community. The theme was Asia's Evolving Role in an Uncertain World, and topics included Asia's Challenges and Prospects over the Next Decade, Artificial Intelligence for Traditional Industries and A Long-Term Future in an Uncertain World. Artificial intelligence (AI) is significantly changing and disrupting a wide range of industries, including industrials, agriculture, finance, and more. From self-driving trucks and autonomous factories, to Ebola cures and hunter-killer drones, AI can drive new solutions at a far lower cost than traditional companies like 3M and Boeing.
