Governments and private sectors from around the globe have caught the the artificial intelligence and machine learning bug.
Reflecting the same fervor for this, the Singaporean government particularly MAS has also announced its US$ 27 Million grant for artificial intelligence.
Of course that is hardly the only initiative from the Lion City, SGInnovate has also been seen doubling down on artificial intelligence as well.
However, despite concerted effort Singapore is reportedly falling behind in artificial intelligence adoption in most sectors expect in fintech where it is leading.
Is this a reflection of MAS’ initiatives bearing fruit? Perhaps. This list of AI startups in Singapore that we’ve found circulating the internet is a good gauge of the prevalence of AI in fintech.
