International Benchmarking & Cooperation

In the global AI race, Singapore is a case study in punching above its weight. Tortoise’s Global AI Index places it third behind the US and China year after year — and first in the world on intensity per capita, trading limited scale for an outsized position. It also turns “AI governance” into soft power: exporting testable governance frameworks early and staying active in GPAI, the UN and other multilateral venues, seeking to be a convener of the rules rather than a bystander.

This hub gathers the parliamentary and policy debates on international benchmarking and cooperation, the cross-border frameworks and official statements, and sgai’s benchmarking data — from index rankings and side-by-side comparison with major economies to regional and multilateral cooperation — so you can see how Singapore finds a place for itself among the great powers.
