## Why it matters

The free premium AI tool subscription launched on 16 September and aims to reach about 200,000 people over three years; after less than two weeks, the Government gave no redemption figures or tool breakdown.

## Summary

Gerald Giam asked the Acting Minister for Manpower how many Singaporeans had redeemed the complimentary six-month premium AI tool subscription, what take-up targets had been set, how current figures compared, and which tools were most popular among beneficiaries. Jasmin Lau replied that the scheme, launched on 16 September 2026, aims to reach around 200,000 individuals over three years as part of broader efforts to build Singaporeans' AI capabilities and support enterprise AI adoption; since the scheme had run for less than two weeks, it was too early to assess take-up against the target.

66 Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song asked the Acting Minister for Manpower (a) how many Singaporeans have redeemed the complimentary six-month subscription to premium artificial intelligence (AI) tools since the scheme was launched; (b) what targets has the Ministry set for overall subscription take-up; (c) how do current redemption figures compare against these targets; and (d) what is the breakdown of the main AI tools subscribed to by beneficiaries.

Ms Jasmin Lau : The complimentary six-month subscription to premium versions of AI tools was launched on 16 September 2026 and is intended to reach around 200,000 individuals over three years. It complements broader Government efforts to build AI capabilities among Singaporeans and support AI adoption by enterprises.

As the initiative has been in operation for less than two weeks, it is too early to assess take-up against this three-year target.
