Lee Yi Shyan 先生，
Liang Xinjun 先生，
Ho Chee Hin 先生，
各位女士、先生：
前言
我很高兴今天与「通商中国」（Business China）网络一道——讨论新兴技术与数字经济。
新加坡与中国一直是数字领域中坚定的伙伴——并有顶层领导的强力政治承诺。
今年 3 月——李显龙总理与习近平主席同意——把双边关系升级为「全方位高质量面向未来的伙伴关系」。
驾驭新兴技术的潜能
在新兴技术领域——比如区块链——新加坡已在多个行业部署——从贸易到健康。
我们开发了 TradeTrust——把贸易文件数字化为「电子可转让记录」（Electronic Transferable Records）——为跨境贸易提升效率、降低成本。
我们也有 HealthCerts——一组发放 COVID-19 检测结果与疫苗证书的「可互操作数字标准」——让旅客更便捷地数字化存储与共享 COVID-19 健康数据。
另一项新兴技术是生成式 AI——尤其在 OpenAI 的 ChatGPT 爆炸性发布之后——大家都在想这件事。
我相信——AI 与 Web 3.0 的交叉——会带来更大潜能——让我们能创新、试用提升业务效率与创造新商业模式的新方式。
比如——Web 3.0 的「去中心化」属性——能通过访问多样的数据集——大幅改进 AI 模型。
这能在开发者之间促进更大的协作——加速「更具沉浸感与个性化的虚拟体验」的创新。
在新加坡的多种新兴技术中——我们认为——支撑围绕 Web 3.0 等技术的生态成长——有 3 个使能器至关重要——信任、应用、连接。
信任
第一——新兴技术的采用——需要「信任的根基」。技术带来巨大好处与机会——也带来风险。比如——若模型用「不完整数据」训练——AI 可能延续危险的偏见。
缺乏数字信任——会阻碍新技术的采用、阻碍创新。
在这点上——我们一直在思考如何继续生成「信任的生态」。我们开发了《Model AI Governance Framework》。我们把它应用在不同用例情境、不同经济行业、不同业务应用中——让不同行业的企业能以「基于风险」的方法应对并缓释这些议题。
比如——在金融行业——新加坡金融管理局（MAS）一直通过「Veritas」项目——把「公平、伦理、问责、透明」（FEAT）等负责任 AI 原则——灌注到金融机构与金融科技公司中。
我们希望这对企业也有益。已部署「负责任 AI」的金融科技公司——在接入东南亚机会上更有优势。
我谈了信任——以及如何通过监管、产业推动、并通过「公私合作」把生态中的不同利益相关方聚到一起——创造信任的环境。我们的愿景与希望——是「在新加坡试出来的应用与创新——能跨不同司法辖区、不同监管体制——被信任」。
应用
第二——新加坡优先「跨行业的新兴技术应用」。
我们投资满足产业需求的区块链创新。
一个好例子是——「新加坡区块链创新计划」（SBIP）——已经孵出落地方案——包括帮助公司更自信、更可靠地使用智能合约。
和任何工具一样——新兴技术的潜能——只有通过「多样的变革性应用」才能在新加坡（作为本地区的商业与金融枢纽）实现。许多行业的决策者都在这里。技术与应用的交叉点——可以在这些技术的众多创新应用中找到。我们位于东南亚的核心——作为科技、商业、健康、研究等行业的枢纽——我们一直在寻找——能整合并惠及社区与企业具体需求的新技术。
我们谈了信任与应用——这是围绕新兴技术创新生态的两个重要使能器。
连接
第三个重要领域——是「连接」。在今天日益博弈、快速变化的世界中——更紧密的跨境伙伴关系——对我们的繁荣至关重要。
看新加坡过去的经历——我们曾是海事贸易枢纽；投资技术之后——我们引入外资、成为制造枢纽；之后——我们成长为金融枢纽与商业枢纽——与世界连接良好。
在我们演化的下一阶段——让我们问自己——我们如何把不同利益相关方汇聚在「信任、创新、应用、连接」上？我们一直期待与生态中紧密的合作伙伴合作——在我们已有的不同连接之上构建。所以当我说「连接」——我说的不只是基础设施层面的连接——还有「志同道合的伙伴与国家」之间的连接。
比如——IMDA 与上海市经济和信息化委员会（SHEITC）签署「数字经济谅解备忘录」（MOU）——在数字连通、数字公用事业、创新等领域加强合作。
这一 MOU 将支持数字技术的发展与共同标准——包括对「电子发票」与「数字贸易」的探索。
最后——我想谈一谈「领导力」——公司、组织与社会的领导力。当我谈信任、连接、创新、应用——最终是为了「人」。即便在 AI 时代、数字技术时代——成功最重要的成分仍然是我们所有人——尽管我们看世界、思考新技术机遇与挑战的方式有所不同。这是关于「人」与「领导力」——以及我们走到一起、找到合作的共同区域。维持那种——「不以输赢心态看结果」的精神——无论是在业务合作、监管协调还是志同道合经济体与伙伴之间的连接上——都重要。
结尾
我期待听到各位的看法——当新加坡思考数字经济增长的下一阶段——包括各位如何看 AI 的机会、如何维持信任与创新；最终——如何与各位及各位代表的生态——实现连接。
谢谢！

Mr Lee Yi Shyan,
Mr Liang Xinjun,
Mr Ho Chee Hin,
Ladies and Gentlemen
Introduction
I am happy to join all of you here today with the Business China network to discuss emerging technologies and the digital economy.
Singapore and China have been steadfast partners in the digital domain with strong political commitment from top leadership.
In March this year, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and President Xi Jinping agreed to upgrade our bilateral relationship to an “All-Round High-Quality Future-Oriented Partnership”.
The Potential of Harnessing Emerging Technologies
In the area of emerging technologies, for example, blockchain, Singapore has deployed Blockchain in multiple sectors from Trade to Health.
We have developed TradeTrust, which digitalises trade documents into Electronic Transferable Records, improving efficiency and reducing costs for cross-border trade.
We also have HealthCerts, a set of interoperable digital standards for issuing COVID-19 test results and vaccination certificates. This makes it more convenient for travellers to digitally store and share their COVID-19 health data.
Another emerging technology is Generative AI, which is on everybody’s mind, especially with the explosive launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
I am sure both AI and Web 3.0 will intersect to offer greater potential, enabling us to innovate and try out new ways of improving business efficiency and creating new business models.
For example, Web3.0’s decentralised nature could vastly improve AI models through the access of diverse datasets.
This can promote greater collaboration between developers, accelerating the innovation of more immersive and personalised virtual experiences.
In the various emerging technologies in Singapore, we think about three enablers that are important to support the growth and development of an ecosystem around technologies like Web 3.0. The enablers are trust, application, and connectivity.
Trust
First, the adoption of emerging technologies requires a foundation of trust. Technology brings immense benefits and opportunities but also introduces risks. For example, AI can perpetuate dangerous biases if models are trained on incomplete data.
A lack of digital trust will impede the adoption of new technologies and hinder innovation.
In this area, we are looking at how we can continue to generate an ecosystem of trust. We have developed a Model AI Governance Framework. We apply this across different use scenarios, different economic sectors and different business applications, so as to allow businesses in different sectors to take a risk-based approach to tackle and mitigate those issues.
For example, in the financial sector, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has been inculcating responsible AI principles of Fairness, Ethics, Accountability, and Transparency into our financial institutions and FinTech companies through the Veritas project.
We hope this benefits companies too. Fintech companies which have deployed responsible AI have an edge in accessing opportunities in Southeast Asia.
I talked about trust and how to create an environment of trust through regulations, industry promotion, and bringing together different stakeholders in this ecosystem through private-public partnerships. Our vision and our hope is that applications and innovations that are tried out in Singapore can be trusted across different jurisdictions and different regulatory regimes.
Application
Second, Singapore prioritises the application of emerging technology across sectors.
We invest in blockchain innovation that fuel industry needs.
One good example is the Singapore Blockchain Innovation Programme (SBIP) has led to practical solutions, including supporting companies in utilising smart contracts more confidently and reliably.
Like any other tool, the potential of emerging technologies can only be realised through diverse transformative applications in Singapore as the business hub and financial hub of the region. Many decision makers of various industries are based here. The intersection of technology and applications can be found in many of the innovative applications of these technologies. As we sit at the heart of Southeast Asia, as a hub for sectors like technology, businesses, health and research, we are constantly finding new technologies that could be integrated to benefit the specific needs of communities and businesses.
We talked about trust and application, which are two important enablers of the innovation ecosystem around emerging technology.
Connectivity
The third important area is connectivity. Greater cross-border partnerships is important for us to thrive in today’s increasingly contested and fast-changing world.
Look at Singapore’s past experiences. We were a maritime trading hub. Invested in technologies, we brought foreign investments in and became a manufacturing hub. Later on, we grew into a financial hub and a business hub that is well-connected with the world.
In the next phase of our evolution, let’s ask ourselves, how do we bring different stakeholders on trust, innovation, application and connectivity? We are always looking forward to working with close partners in the ecosystem, building across the different connections we have. So when I talk about connectivity, I speak not just about connectivity in terms of infrastructure, but also connectivity in terms of like-minded partners and countries.
For example, IMDA signed a Digital Economy MOU with the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization (SHEITC) to strengthen cooperation in areas such as digital connectivity, digital utilities, and innovation.
This MOU will support the development of digital technologies and common standards including exploration of e-invoicing and digital trade.
Lastly, I want to talk about leadership – leadership of companies, organisations and societies. When I talk about trust, connectivity, innovation, application, ultimately it is for people. Even in the age of AI, an era of digital technology, the most important ingredient for success is all of us, notwithstanding differences in how we see the world, how we think about opportunities and challenges of new technologies. It is about the people and leadership and all of us coming together to find common areas of collaboration. Maintaining the kind of ethos where we do not look at outcomes in a win-lose mindset, whether it is terms of business cooperation, regulatory harmonisation or connectivity among like-minded economies and partners.
Conclusion
I look forward to hearing from you as Singapore thinks about the next phase of digital economy growth, including on how you think about opportunities in AI, how to maintain trust and innovation; and ultimately how to effect connectivity with all of you and the ecosystems you represent.
Thank you!
