From today, eligible Singaporeans who enroll in one of our skills future AI causes will receive six months of complimentary access to a premium AI tool. And they can choose from a range from Google AI pro, chat GPT plus, manus AI, Microsoft 365 personal or STEL AI pass. There's a range for them to choose from. And the idea is that the more they try, the more they practice, put what they learn into practice, the more confident they will become. Now, for those of us who don't quite know where to start, there's actually a free AI ready quiz available on the my skills future portal. This is a quiz that we developed together with SIT. It takes a few minutes and it will tell you where your starting point is. After that, it will also recommend you some AI causes to take.
These causes are supported and subsidized by SWDA and you can also use your skills future credit to pay for the remaining fees. Our hope is that all Singaporeans become a lot more confident in using AI and get more comfortable as work changes.
