陳杰豪高階政務部長在 HCLTech AI 實驗室媒體釋出會上的演講
要點
- • 新加坡與 HCLTech 合作 40+ 年——從硬體到軟體——再到雲、AI 與生成式 AI——一直在演進。
- • HCLTech 與本地理工學院簽署 MOU——未來幾年培訓並僱用 50 名一年級學生與中職轉型人才。
- • Tan 鼓勵更多在新加坡的全球跨國公司——開始招聘理工學院學生（不只是大學生）——他們在編碼與解決真實世界問題上同樣優秀，部分甚至更強。
- • 《國家 AI 戰略 2.0》是「活文件」——不能刻在石頭上——這個行業變化太快——必須務實、敏捷、持續再培訓。

數碼發展及新聞部高階政務部長 Tan Kiat How 在 HCLTech AI 實驗室媒體釋出會上的演講（2024 年 11 月 4 日）
1. 印度駐新加坡高階專員 Shilpak Ambule 博士閣下、來自 HCLTech 的朋友們——無論你們紮根本地還是再次來訪——歡迎回到新加坡。
2. 我很高興出席與 HCLTech 一同慶祝又一里程碑。我們與 HCLTech 已是 40 多年的夥伴——這一夥伴關係經歷不同的時代——從硬體，到軟體，再到當今的前沿——不只是雲服務，還包括 AI 與生成式 AI。
3. AI 是有巨大潛能改造行業、經濟、社會與社群的技術之一。我們很樂意有更多像 HCLTech 這樣的夥伴——和我們一起走這條路、把夥伴關係帶到下一層。
4. 朋友們前面提到——新加坡之所以「深思技術」是出於必要。我們沒有自然資源——我們有的是穩健的韌性、是「建國」的目的感——並努力維護社會所珍視的生活方式與價值——為新加坡人持續創造機會——不只是當代——也是為了幾代以後的人。
5. 在這種處境下——「能用技術創造新機會、克服既有約束、提供可持續經濟增長」很重要。無論是 70、80 年代的「計算機化」，90 年代用網際網路，到 2000 年代談數字化，到如今談雲服務——
6. AI 真的就是我們「用技術創造機會」努力的一部分。技術周圍有整個價值體系與生態。我不認為哪家公司、哪一群研究者、科學家或開發者能獨佔這項技術。重點在「構建生態」——而作為我們想在新加坡構建的有活力生態的一部分——我們希望有許多夥伴加入。
7. 這不只是構建一個「在金融、醫療、物流等行業使用的技術生態」——也是構建一個讓「下一代人才與勞動力能夠有意義參與」的生態。
8. 我所說的——是給員工與勞動力提供培訓機會。可以是那些目前在職、但想再培訓與升級以承擔科技相關行業不同角色的人。也可以是那些目前在校、思考未來要走科技相關職業的人。
9. 我很高興——這裡有產業與學界的合作——為我們的學生（既有的學生，也有尋求繼續教育與培訓的中職生）提供這樣的機會。我們的教育者與培訓者也有機會接觸行業趨勢——理解課堂之外的世界。
10. 就像 HCLTech 等公司用技術改造企業與經濟一樣——重點是創造一個「我們都有意義參與、並在各方間找到共贏夥伴關係」的生態。
11. 我很高興能見證 HCLTech AI 實驗室的設立——以及理工學院與之簽署的 MOU——為我們的學生提供更多機會。我也很高興聽到——HCLTech 已承諾與本地理工學院合作——在未來幾年培訓並最終僱用 50 名一年級學生與中職轉型人才。
12. 我希望這是一段對所有人都富有成果、共贏的夥伴關係的開始。第一——給我們許多理工學院學生參與產業專案的機會、並希望他們能與 HCLTech 這樣的全球公司一起開啟科技職業；第二——我前面提到，讓我們的教育者有機會接觸課堂之外發生的事；第三——這是雙贏——HCLTech 將能接觸到非常優秀的學生。
13. 我們的全球跨國公司中——很多並未把目光投向理工學院學生——也許是因為他們更熟悉我們的大學。這些都是非常好的大學——但我會說——我們理工學院的學生也非常出色——其中一些在「編碼、解決真實世界問題」等技術能力上——與大學生持平甚至更強。他們具備與大學生不同的強項。
14. 所以——我希望這份 MOU 能開啟這樣一種夥伴關係——讓許多紮根新加坡、為本地區與更廣區域招人的全球跨國公司——也開始把目光投向我們的理工學院學生。我們為我們的理工學院感到自豪——它們是我們投入大量資源的機構——為多個領域的畢業生提供非常紮實的技術基礎。
15. 在此——我祝賀理工學院們；也祝賀 HCLTech 邁出這一步。我們的《國家 AI 戰略 2.0》是一份「活文件」——它不是刻在石頭上的——根本上——我們身處一個快速演變的行業。去年的技術技能、架構與做法——幾年後可能就變得不相關。所以——我們必須持續再培訓自己。我們將始終保持務實與敏捷——並歡迎政府、產業、學界之間更深的協作——共同找出「保持相關」的辦法。我歡迎反饋、建議與輸入——讓我們能持續調整戰略、專案、計劃、夥伴關係——為新加坡與我們產業裡的夥伴找出新做法、創造新機會。
16. 我祝賀 HCLTech 與理工學院開啟這段美好的新夥伴關係——也期待與產業夥伴度過更多年頭。
17. 謝謝。

SPEECH BY SENIOR MINISTER OF STATE FOR DIGITAL DEVELOPMENT AND INFORMATION TAN KIAT HOW AT HCLTECH’S AI LAB MEDIA LAUNCH, 4 NOVEMBER 2024
1. Your Excellency, Dr Shilpak Ambule, High Commissioner of India to Singapore, friends from HCLTech, whether you are based here or visiting us again, a very warm welcome back to Singapore.
2. I am very happy to be part of the celebration of another milestone with HCLTech. We have been partners with HCLTech for more than four decades and our partnership has evolved through the different times, starting from hardware to software and now at the cutting edge of technology, looking at not just cloud services, but also AI and generative AI.
3. AI is one of the technologies that has tremendous potential to really transform industry sectors, economies, societies and communities. This is an area which we are very happy to have more partners, such as HCLTech, to work together with us on this journey and take our partnership to the next level.
4. As mentioned by friends earlier, Singapore thinks about technology deeply out of necessity. We are, unfortunately, not blessed with natural resources but what we have is great resilience and a sense of purpose of building a country, making sure that we preserve the way of life and values our society treasures to continue to create opportunities for Singaporeans. Not just for the current generation but for many generations to come.
5. In these circumstances, the ability to use technology to create new opportunities, to overcome existing constraints, to provide sustainable economic growth is important. Whether it is about computerisation in the 70s and 80s, using the internet in the 90s, or thinking about digitalisation in the early 2000s, to now talking about cloud services.
6. AI is really part of our efforts to use technology to create opportunities. Technology has an entire value system and ecosystem around it. I don't think anyone can say that this technology is the domain of any one company or any one group of researchers or scientists or developers. It is really about building the ecosystem, and as part of this vibrant ecosystem we want to build in Singapore, we want to have many partners to be a part of it.
7. It is not just about building a vibrant ecosystem around technology to use in different sectors such as financial services, healthcare and logistics, but also an ecosystem in which the next generation of talent and workforce are able to participate meaningfully.
8. What I meant by that is giving training opportunities for workers and the workforce. It could be those who are currently employed but want to reskill and upskill themselves to take on different roles in the sectors related to technology. It could also be those who are currently in school and thinking about a career in technology-related roles in the future.
9. I am very happy that we have a partnership here with the industry and academia to provide such opportunities for our students, both existing ones as well as mid-career students who are looking at continuing their education and training. There are also opportunities for our educators and trainers to be exposed to industry trends and understand what is happening out there beyond the classroom.
10. Just like how companies like HCLTech are using technology to transform businesses and transform economies, it is about creating this ecosystem in which all of us are participating meaningfully and finding win-win partnerships across the board.
11. I am very happy to be able to mark this occasion about the setting up of a HCLTech AI Lab together with MoU signings undertaken by the polytechnics to provide more opportunities. I am also very happy to hear that HCLTech has committed to partner with our local polytechnic to train and eventually hire 50 first-year students and mid-career talents over the next few years.
12. I hope that this is the start of a fruitful and win-win partnership for all. Firstly, by creating opportunities for many of our polytechnic students to participate in industry projects and hopefully get a start in their careers in technology with global companies like HCLTech. Secondly, I talked about giving our educators the opportunity to be exposed to what is happening outside the classroom. And thirdly, it is a win-win because HCLTech will have access to very good students.
13. Not many of our global MNCs have looked at hiring polytechnic students perhaps because many of them are more familiar with our universities. All those are very good universities, but I would say that our polytechnic students are very good as well, and some of them are on par or even better in terms of technical skills, such as coding, and in terms of thinking about solving real-world problems. They have different strengths from our university students.
14. So, I hope that this MoU will be the start of a partnership, in which many of our global MNCs based in Singapore, hiring for the region and beyond, will also start looking at our polytechnic students. And we're very proud of our polytechnics because these are institutions we have invested a lot of resources in to provide very good technical foundation for our graduates across various domains.
15. So, on this note, congratulations to the polytechnics and I would like to also congratulate HCLTech for taking this step. The National AI Strategy 2.0 that we have is a live document – it is not a strategy that we have cast in stone because fundamentally, we are in a sector that is transforming rapidly. The technological skills and architectures and the way of doing things from last year may be irrelevant a few years from now. So, we must reskill ourselves on an ongoing basis. We will always be pragmatic and agile and that is where we welcome greater collaboration between the government, industry as well as academia, to collectively find ways of remaining relevant. I welcome feedback, suggestions, and input on how we can continue to adapt our strategies, programmes, schemes, partnerships, and find new ways of doing things and creating new opportunities for Singapore and our partners in the industry.
16. I congratulate HCLTech and the polytechnics on the wonderful start of a new partnership and I look forward to many more years with our industry partners.
17. Thank you.
