Lee Yi Shyan 先生,

Liang Xinjun 先生,

Ho Chee Hin 先生,

各位女士、先生:

前言

我很高興今天與「通商中國」(Business China)網路一道——討論新興技術與數字經濟。

新加坡與中國一直是數字領域中堅定的夥伴——並有頂層領導的強力政治承諾。

今年 3 月——李顯龍總理與習近平主席同意——把雙邊關係升級為「全方位高質量面向未來的夥伴關係」。

駕馭新興技術的潛能

在新興技術領域——比如區塊鏈——新加坡已在多個行業部署——從貿易到健康。

我們開發了 TradeTrust——把貿易檔案數字化為「電子可轉讓記錄」(Electronic Transferable Records)——為跨境貿易提升效率、降低成本。

我們也有 HealthCerts——一組發放 COVID-19 檢測結果與疫苗證書的「可互運算元字標準」——讓旅客更便捷地數字化儲存與共享 COVID-19 健康資料。

另一項新興技術是生成式 AI——尤其在 OpenAI 的 ChatGPT 爆炸性發布之後——大家都在想這件事。

我相信——AI 與 Web 3.0 的交叉——會帶來更大潛能——讓我們能創新、試用提升業務效率與創造新商業模式的新方式。

比如——Web 3.0 的「去中心化」屬性——能通過訪問多樣的資料集——大幅改進 AI 模型。

這能在開發者之間促進更大的協作——加速「更具沉浸感與個性化的虛擬體驗」的創新。

在新加坡的多種新興技術中——我們認為——支撐圍繞 Web 3.0 等技術的生態成長——有 3 個使能器至關重要——信任、應用、連線。

信任

第一——新興技術的採用——需要「信任的根基」。技術帶來巨大好處與機會——也帶來風險。比如——若模型用「不完整資料」訓練——AI 可能延續危險的偏見。

缺乏數字信任——會阻礙新技術的採用、阻礙創新。

在這點上——我們一直在思考如何繼續生成「信任的生態」。我們開發了《Model AI Governance Framework》。我們把它應用在不同用例情境、不同經濟行業、不同業務應用中——讓不同行業的企業能以「基於風險」的方法應對並緩釋這些議題。

比如——在金融行業——新加坡金融管理局(MAS)一直通過「Veritas」專案——把「公平、倫理、問責、透明」(FEAT)等負責任 AI 原則——灌注到金融機構與金融科技公司中。

我們希望這對企業也有益。已部署「負責任 AI」的金融科技公司——在接入東南亞機會上更有優勢。

我談了信任——以及如何通過監管、產業推動、並通過「公私合作」把生態中的不同利益相關方聚到一起——創造信任的環境。我們的願景與希望——是「在新加坡試出來的應用與創新——能跨不同司法轄區、不同監管體制——被信任」。

應用

第二——新加坡優先「跨行業的新興技術應用」。

我們投資滿足產業需求的區塊鏈創新。

一個好例子是——「新加坡區塊鏈創新計劃」(SBIP)——已經孵出落地方案——包括幫助公司更自信、更可靠地使用智慧合約。

和任何工具一樣——新興技術的潛能——只有通過「多樣的變革性應用」才能在新加坡(作為本地區的商業與金融樞紐)實現。許多行業的決策者都在這裡。技術與應用的交叉點——可以在這些技術的眾多創新應用中找到。我們位於東南亞的核心——作為科技、商業、健康、研究等行業的樞紐——我們一直在尋找——能整合並惠及社群與企業具體需求的新技術。

我們談了信任與應用——這是圍繞新興技術創新生態的兩個重要使能器。

連線

第三個重要領域——是「連線」。在今天日益博弈、快速變化的世界中——更緊密的跨境夥伴關係——對我們的繁榮至關重要。

看新加坡過去的經歷——我們曾是海事貿易樞紐;投資技術之後——我們引入外資、成為製造樞紐;之後——我們成長為金融樞紐與商業樞紐——與世界連線良好。

在我們演化的下一階段——讓我們問自己——我們如何把不同利益相關方匯聚在「信任、創新、應用、連線」上?我們一直期待與生態中緊密的合作伙伴合作——在我們已有的不同連線之上構建。所以當我說「連線」——我說的不只是基礎設施層面的連線——還有「志同道合的夥伴與國家」之間的連線。

比如——IMDA 與上海市經濟和資訊化委員會(SHEITC)簽署「數字經濟諒解備忘錄」(MOU)——在數字連通、數字公用事業、創新等領域加強合作。

這一 MOU 將支援數字技術的發展與共同標準——包括對「電子發票」與「數字貿易」的探索。

最後——我想談一談「領導力」——公司、組織與社會的領導力。當我談信任、連線、創新、應用——最終是為了「人」。即便在 AI 時代、數字技術時代——成功最重要的成分仍然是我們所有人——儘管我們看世界、思考新技術機遇與挑戰的方式有所不同。這是關於「人」與「領導力」——以及我們走到一起、找到合作的共同區域。維持那種——「不以輸贏心態看結果」的精神——無論是在業務合作、監管協調還是志同道合經濟體與夥伴之間的連線上——都重要。

結尾

我期待聽到各位的看法——當新加坡思考數字經濟增長的下一階段——包括各位如何看 AI 的機會、如何維持信任與創新;最終——如何與各位及各位代表的生態——實現連線。

謝謝!

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!
