賈尼爾·普圖徹裡博士（Dr Janil Puthucheary）於2024年11月15日"創新日2024"上的開幕致辭，他現任數字發展與信息部及衛生部高階政務部長，併兼任GovTech主管部長
1. 早上好，歡迎各位來到創新日。
2. 今天有許多令人振奮的亮點：
a. 我們的公務員將展示他們在LAUNCH!計劃下開發的原型。LAUNCH!是由GovTech牽頭、聯合各政府機構及行業合作伙伴（包括AWS、Databricks、Microsoft、Outsystems和Snowflake）推出的一項全新創新計劃。
b. 同樣，首屆AI Champions Bootcamp（ABC）的學員也將展示他們為解決本機構問題而開發的原型。
c. 我們還將舉行Data & AI Tournament旗下Prompt Royale競賽的決賽。這是面向公務員規模最大的全政府提示工程競賽。
3. 今天大家在此看到的，正是我們國家AI 2.0願景的生動體現：使新加坡的公民、企業和公共部門員工能夠自信、負責任且富有創意地使用AI。就政府而言，我們希望賦予公務員AI技能，使他們能夠在各自機構內以及整個新加坡發揮積極影響。
4. 今天，我非常高興地看到我們取得了如此大的進展——不僅體現在大規模技能提升上，還體現在正確的解決問題的精神，以及私營和公共部門利益相關方的大力支援上。
在政府範圍內大規模擴充套件AI技能
5. 今天的活動是過去數月來75餘個機構數千名公務員共同努力的成果。今天大家看到的原型，正說明了政府機構和公務員如何積極響應號召，大規模地開發和應用AI技能。
6. 以Data & AI Tournament（DAT）為例，它經過多年發展，規模大幅擴大，如今已納入Prompt Royale賽道。
a. DAT於2018年啟動，當時約有來自30個機構的400名公務員參與。2023年，GovTech將Prompt Royale納入DAT，作為一個提示工程賽道，幫助參與者深化提示工程技能。
b. 今年，來自75個機構的逾千名公務員參與了Prompt Royale，其中包括GovTech組織的11場AI工作坊。這些課程聚焦於提示工程、AI聊天機器人設計以及日常實用AI工具的動手操作技能。
c. 通過Prompt Royale賽事，我們看到參與者將提示工程技能應用於各類問題，涵蓋最佳化溝通流程、創作吸引人的內容，乃至應對複雜的資料分析。
7. 同樣，在LAUNCH!計劃下，我們從公務員處徵集到逾600個創意，支援了16場由機構主導的創意馬拉松（Ideathon），並舉行了3場駭客馬拉松衝刺，共開發出26個創新原型，以解決各機構面臨的問題。
通過AI培養解決問題的精神
8. 這引出了我下一個要講的重點，即解決問題的精神。我們使用AI，並非為了使用而使用，而是為了解決各機構和公務員所面臨的實際問題。
9. 因此，首屆AI Champions Bootcamp（ABC）的設計正是圍繞這種解決問題的精神展開的。在12周的密集訓練中，學員學習高階提示技巧，以及如何構建基於檢索增強生成（RAG）和基於智慧體框架的大語言模型（LLM）流水線。最重要的是，學員需在本機構內確定問題陳述，並在結營時開發出完整可執行的原型。
10. 例如，勞動力發展局（Workforce Singapore，WSG）的公務員面臨一項挑戰：需手動評估職業轉換計劃（Career Conversion Programme）下中途轉業人員崗位的職位描述。為此，WSG開發了一款融入大語言模型（LLMs）的工具，以簡化評估流程，最終節省了高達78%的時間。這反過來釋放了公務員的時間，使他們得以承擔其他增值任務，例如接觸更多公司加入該計劃，從而最終改善計劃的整體成效。
11. 看到我們的公務員如何通過訓練營運用所學技能，將創意轉化為解決機構實際挑戰的方案，我深感鼓舞。我相信他們將把這種解決問題的精神帶回各自的機構和日常工作中。
來自機構與行業利益相關方的支援
12. 今天我們看到的各項活動，是GovTech通過創意工坊、駭客馬拉松及AI技能提升專案推動創新、提升政府數字能力的努力的一部分。然而，若沒有各利益相關方的大力支援，這些努力將無從實現。
13. 我要讚揚參與機構願意派遣公務員參加這些計劃和競賽。考慮到日常工作的繁忙，這是一項重大承諾，但卻是使我們的公務員掌握最前沿AI技能的關鍵投入。
14. 我尤其要表彰與GovTech合作、通過Prompt Royale X將Prompt Royale擴充套件至本機構的九個機構，即HDB、HSA、MCCY、MOE、MOM、MSF、MUIS、SCDF和SFA。通過Prompt Royale X，逾550名公務員應對了針對各機構具體需求而定製的提示工程挑戰。這帶來的是一項極具長遠意義、影響深遠的成果——不僅僅是由GovTech和MDDI集中開發這些解決方案，更重要的是，你們將這些方法、技術和理念帶回，並應用於你們所面臨的實際問題，例如為HSA分析獻血趨勢、為MOE簡化家長閘道器（Parent's Gateway）信函生成流程。所有這些都是機構特定、領域特定的，正是你們汲取這些理念、向在場參與的同事學習的能力，成就了你們各自機構、部門和同事所取得的成果。
15. 同樣，我要向我們的行業合作伙伴AWS、Databricks、Microsoft、Outsystems和Snowflake表達誠摯感謝，感謝他們對LAUNCH!計劃的寶貴支援。他們的合作伙伴關係對於將優秀創意轉化為對公共部門具有深遠影響的解決方案至關重要。
16. 最後，我要感謝所有參與創新日的人士，感謝你們的承諾與付出，以及你們對國家AI願景的踐行——建設一個值得信賴、成效顯著、以AI賦能的公共服務體系。這段旅程才剛剛開始，我滿懷期待地看著你們每一位繼續引領AI發展，推動創新，共同打造更優質的公共服務和更美好的新加坡。

OPENING ADDRESS BY DR JANIL PUTHUCHEARY, SENIOR MINISTER OF STATE FOR DIGITAL DEVELOPMENT AND INFORMATION & HEALTH, AND MINISTER-IN-CHARGE OF GOVTECH AT INNOVATION DAY 2024 ON 15 NOV 2024
1. Good morning everyone and welcome to Innovation Day.
2. There are many exciting highlights today:
a. Our officers will be showcasing their prototypes developed under the LAUNCH! programme. LAUNCH! is a new innovation programme spearheaded by GovTech in collaboration with various agencies and industry partners, including AWS, Databricks, Microsoft, Outsystems and Snowflake.
b. Similarly, participants from the inaugural AI Champions Bootcamp (ABC) will also be showcasing the prototypes they have developed to address problems in their agencies.
c. We also have the Finale of the Data & AI Tournament’s Prompt Royale competition. This is the largest whole-of-government prompt engineering competition for public officers.
3. What you see here today is an illustration of our National AI 2.0 vision: to enable Singapore's citizens, businesses, and public sector workforce to use AI confidently, responsibly, and creatively. Specific to the Government, we hope to empower our officers with the AI skills to make a difference within your agencies and across Singapore.
4. Today, I am thrilled to see how far we’ve come—not only in skills at scale, but with the right problem-solving spirit, and with the support of our private and public sector stakeholders.
Expanding AI Skills at Scale Across Government
5. Today’s event is the culmination of the efforts of thousands of officers from over 75 agencies over the past few months. The prototypes you see today are an illustration of how Government agencies and officers have enthusiastically taken up the call to develop and apply their AI skills at scale.
6. Take for example the Data & AI Tournament (DAT), which has grown significantly over time to include Prompt Royale today.
a. The DAT started in 2018 with about 400 officers from 30 agencies. In 2023, GovTech introduced Prompt Royale as part of the DAT. This is a prompt engineering track which enables participants to deepen their prompt engineering skills.
b. This year, over a thousand officers from 75 agencies took part in Prompt Royale including 11 AI workshops organized by GovTech. These sessions focused on hands-on skills for prompt engineering, AI chatbot design, and practical AI tools for everyday use.
c. Through the Prompt Royale tournament, we have seen participants applying their prompt engineering skills to a wide range of problems, from streamlining communication, to creating engaging content, and even tackling complex data analysis.
7. Similarly, under the LAUNCH! programme, we have gathered more than 600 ideas from public officers, supported 16 agency-led Ideathons and ran 3 hackathon sprints to develop 26 innovative prototypes to solve agency problems.
Fostering the Spirit of Problem Solving through AI
8. This brings me to my next point, which is the spirit of problem solving. We use AI not for the sake of doing so, but to solve problems that our agencies and officers face.
9. The design of the inaugural AI Champions Bootcamp (ABC) was thus focused on this spirit of problem-solving. In 12 intensive weeks, bootcamp participants learn about advanced prompting techniques and how to build LLM pipelines based on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and agent-based frameworks. Most importantly, participants identify problem statements in their agencies and develop fully working prototypes by the end of the bootcamp.
10. For example, Workforce Singapore (WSG) officers faced the challenge of having to manually evaluate job descriptions of roles for mid-career individuals under the Career Conversion Programme. To address this, WSG developed a tool incorporating Large Language Models (LLMs) to streamline the evaluation process, resulting in up to 78% time savings. This in turn freed up the officers’ time to take on other value-adding tasks such as engaging more companies to onboard the programme and ultimately improving the outcomes of the programme.
11. I am very encouraged by how our officers have leveraged their skills through the bootcamp to turn ideas into solutions that address real agency challenges. I am certain that they will bring this problem solving spirit back to their agencies and their day-to-day work.
Support from Agency and Industry Stakeholders
12. The activities we see today are part of GovTech’s efforts to drive innovation and uplift Government digital capabilities through ideations, hackathons, and AI upskilling initiatives. However, these efforts would not have been possible without the strong support of our stakeholders.
13. I would like to commend the participating agencies for being willing to send their officers to these programmes and competition. It is a significant commitment, given the day-to-day demands of our work, but it is a critical investment to enable our officers to develop the most up-to-date AI skills.
14. I would particularly like to call out the nine agencies which have partnered GovTech to expand Prompt Royale to their agencies through Prompt Royale X, namely HDB, HSA, MCCY, MOE, MOM, MSF, MUIS, SCDF, and SFA. Through Prompt Royale X, over 550 officers tackled prompt engineering challenges tailored to their agencies’ specific needs. And that is a very long-term, big picture outcome – not just that GovTech and MDDI develops these solutions centrally, but that you are taking these approaches, these technologies and these ideas back and applying them to the problems that you face; such as analysing blood donation trends for HSA and streamlining Parent’s Gateway Letter generation for MOE. All of these are agency specific, domain specific, and it is your ability to take these ideas, learn from colleagues in the room that come and participate, that enable the outcomes for your agencies, for your ministry, for your colleagues.
15. Similarly, I would like to extend my appreciation to our industry partners AWS, Databricks, Microsoft, Outsystems and Snowflake, for their invaluable support for the LAUNCH! programme. Their partnership has been critical to transform great ideas into impactful solutions for the public sector.
16. To conclude, I would like to thank everyone involved in Innovation Day for your commitment and for embodying the National AI vision of a trusted, impactful, AI-enabled public service. This journey is just the beginning, and I am excited to see how each of you continues to lead in AI, driving innovation for a better public service and a better Singapore.
