In December 2023, the Singapore government introduced an updated National AI Strategy NAIS 2.0, after Singapore initially outlined plans in 2019 to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize its economy. An IBM Institute for Business Value revealed that 75% of CEOs believe competitive advantage will depend on who has the most advanced generative AI. However, scaling AI faces challenges, including data demands, model complexity, and ethical considerations.
The AI for Business Leaders Summit, in collaboration with IBM, will explore AI’s transformative power. Expect insightful discussions, practical use cases, and tangible real-world results, offering a unique opportunity to stay updated on the latest AI trends and advancements.
