Thrilled to share that I'll be on an industry panel organized by the Singapore Institute of Technology about the impacts of Generative AI on university education 🎓🤖 lead by Yaacob Ibrahim and Khiang Wee Lim. This talented group of experts: Rajesh Sreenivasan Emily Poon Alexander Sake Yoke Sin Chong Karin Avnit Jisu Kim will explore how GenAI is changing assessment, the need to skill up educators and the responsible use of these powerful models. With GenAI advancing so quickly, universities have a key role to play in leveraging this technology. But fully realizing that potential will require rethinking curriculum, teaching methods, ethics, and more. I'm excited to dive into these complex issues and work toward solutions that amplify GenAI's benefits while mitigating risks, sharing AI Singapore experience with building AI projects and talent through the #100E and AI Apprenticeship Programme #aiap. There are always challenges with new tech, but also huge opportunities. With thoughtful, creative leadership, universities can harness GenAI to open doors for students and propel groundbreaking research.💡⏩

The percentage of Marathi Manus is increasing in the Global IT Scenario. Professionals from all strata Tier 1 to 4 are in the trade. Many have launched Innovative Startups. Future can be brighter if we upskill youth Foreign Languages (Japanese in particular), train on futuristic tech trends (AI, ML, DS etc) and make Internship as imp part of Academics . My interview in Pudhari newspaper.

This story caught my eye because it shows how prompt engineering can help students learn new skills in app development using AI. Internships for high school students to learn CS skills are few and far in India. Even if they have an idea, they often find it hard to develop an app due to the lack of focused mentoring. Now AI provides the enterprising ones with the direction to develop what they want. This is a win-win situation because the process would lead them to think clearly about the steps involved in building the app in order to ask the right questions of AI. This would not only help students develop their skills and prepare for the future, but also imbue them with confidence. #AI #Innovation #PromptEngineering #AppDevelopment #Education #TechForGood https://lnkd.in/gH6i5DVX.

In today's digital era, if we don't upskill ourselves then we are going to lag behind many. Missing out on the latest updates will cost us more in both personal and professional lives. As we all know, AI has started creating footprints and it seems like it is going to take over many tasks as such. But nevertheless, it's now all about understanding AI and how to get the best out of it. Singapore is at the forefront of this shift, recognizing the importance of AI literacy for an ageing workforce. As a part of Singapore's 2024 budget, the Singapore government introduced a subsidy program, a diploma course on AI to support individuals who are at the age of 40 and above. It is all about building an inclusive future where everyone has a place, regardless of their age. Over the next three years, more than $20 million will be invested to increase the number of SG Digital Scholarships and overseas internships in AI roles. Aiming to triple the pool of AI practitioners to 15,000 to meet the growing demand for AI expertise. This is a great step by the government and I'm pretty sure Singapore will be a forerunner in the space of AI very soon. Be it any role you are in, learn to prompt, explore new use cases of AI and make the best use of it.

Using LinkedIn? You just might be a Gen Z - close to a quarter of its users in Singapore in 2023 are aged 16 to 25, compared to just 2 per cent in 2013, according to Frank Koo 高國堂. (https://lnkd.in/g5p8a94j) Victoria Junior College first-year student Natania Tan En started using LinkedIn at the end of 2022, after attending a leadership programme. On her profile, she lists achievements and projects she feels she has worked hard for, such as a ground-up initiative promoting youth volunteerism she co-founded. “I know some students on LinkedIn are seen by our peers as ambitious but I’m doing this out of genuine interest,” said Natania. Fourth-year Singapore Management University (SMU) student Adam Ahmad Samdin, 25, signed up for a LinkedIn account in 2020 as part of a module, and began to use it more actively in 2021 to look for internships. “School gives you the academic perspective but industry needs move quickly, so LinkedIn is a useful way to understand what the market is looking for and what people in the industry are doing and thinking,” said the politics, law and economics student, who found his current internship at Barclays through the platform. The minimum age to join LinkedIn is 16. Institutes of higher learning like the #universities and #polytechnics have also started modules to help students understand how to build a profile on LinkedIn, #network, and find #jobs. For example, LinkedIn has partnered with Singapore Polytechnic since May as part of a core module taken by Year 2 and 3 students on #personalbranding and #careeragility. It also tied up with the Institute of Technical Education, where it trained instructors to use the platform and continues to conduct refresher courses on the platform’s latest features. More than 28,000 ITE students have benefited from the three-year initiative from 2020 to 2023. Mr Koo said that LinkedIn launched in April a job filter that allows people to search for open roles based on an organisation’s commitment to values such as #worklifebalance, #diversity, #equity and #inclusion, #socialimpact and #environmentalsustainability. Meanwhile, LinkedIn data shows that Singapore is the fastest-growing market for #artificialintelligence talent in the Asia-Pacific. The growth in #AI talent hiring in Singapore also rose faster than overall hiring here by 14 per cent in 2022: The Straits Times Amelia Teng

Singapore is keenly aware of the global competition to establish itself as an artificial intelligence (AI) hub and has unveiled plans to triple its AI talent pool to 15,000. The city-state is focused on developing and expanding its pool of related talent, which includes data, machine learning scientists, and engineers. Key initiatives to achieve this ambitious goal include tripling the AI workforce, training locals, welcoming foreign professionals, creating regulatory sandboxes for innovation, building an "iconic" AI site, redesigning and scaling up the AI Apprenticeship Programme, collaborating with industry AI product development teams, and intensifying enterprise AI adoption. These initiatives are part of Singapore's broader efforts to enhance its AI capabilities and position itself as a leader in the global AI landscape. #AIHubSG #SingaporeAIBoost #AIWorkforceTripled #GlobalAIStrategy #FutureOfAI #AIInnovation #TalentExpansion #DataScientists #MachineLearningEngineers #AIApprenticeship #EnterpriseAIAcceleration

In Parliament today, I spoke about Ministry of Communications and Information’s plans to leverage AI to build a vibrant digital future for Singaporeans and our businesses. In Singapore, we want to use AI widely but also minimise the risks. One key strategy is to invest in our people. We welcome more AI Creators to work with Singapore and will also help more Singaporeans become one. We will triple the pool of AI Practitioners - such as data scientists and machine learning engineers - to 15,000 over the next five years. We will put in place more initiatives, for e.g. invest over S$20 million in the next three years for students to go on scholarships and overseas internships. We must also grow the number of AI Users, who are equipped to use AI-powered products and services to increase productivity and take up better job opportunities. We will also continue to invest in deepening tech adoption, including AI adoption, among Singapore enterprises. The rate of AI advancements will only gain momentum in the coming years. To stand tall and remain competitive in an AI-enabled world, Singapore must be ready to seize opportunities so that we can truly harness AI for the Public Good, for Singapore and the World.
