Detailed Notes
NAIS 1.0 marked the elevation of AI from a technology topic to a national strategy. Five focus sectors: intelligent transport and logistics, smart cities, healthcare, education, and safety and security. Three enablers: triple-helix collaboration, an AI talent pipeline, and data architecture plus trusted AI. The strategy spawned AI Singapore and the 100 Experiments programme.
