Josephine Teo部長在日內瓦、瑞士舉辦的AI向善全球峰會「AI向善規模化——推介新全球委員會」上的回應文稿
要點
- • 新加坡已在先進製造、醫療、金融和連線四個領域啟動國家人工智慧任務，這些領域合計佔國內生產總值的40%。
- • 新加坡在全球範圍內按人均計算在頂級生成式人工智慧應用的活躍使用者數中排名最高。
- • 新加坡的人工智慧戰略旨在將採用範圍從個人層面擴大到企業、行業和國家層面，以獲得更廣泛的經濟價值。
- • 全球委員會的作用包括促進各國間經驗分享，支援從人工智慧抱負向人工智慧採納的轉變。
- • 新加坡優先發展負責任的人工智慧部署，通過夥伴關係建立信任以管理人工智慧風險並保護關鍵系統。
- • 可持續的人工智慧生態系統需要系統性方法與社會中的持久支撐，超越個別專案。

主持人及國際電信聯盟（ITU）秘書長：讓我們開始。Teo 部長，我想先從你開始。在昨天的全球對話中，你把讓 AI 成為向善的力量比作「耐心打理花園的工作，在花朵綻放前播撒種子」。
這是個美妙的比喻！如果委員會想建立一個 AI 園丁社群，培養我們在創新且安全的 AI 生態系統中的集體能力，我們可以從新加坡的例子中學到什麼？
Josephine Teo 部長：謝謝你，Doreen。讓我首先祝賀共同主席 Kagame 總統和 Marc Benioff 先生，以及你，為委員會匯聚了這樣一個傑出的人才組合。這本身就是一個成就。
關於這個比喻——多年前，新加坡立志成為一座花園城市。今天，我們把自己看作一個花園裡的城市。這不僅僅是美學考量，還有在炎熱、潮溼和人口密集的地方自然降溫的價值。這是為每個人創造宜居環境的價值。實現這一目標花了時間——需要大量細緻的規劃和卓越的運營管理。我們也有許多合作伙伴。
我們如何對待 AI 的方法有類似之處。例如，我們許多行業合作伙伴積極幫助我們的人民學會使用 AI 工具。今天，如果你看看排名靠前的生成式 AI 應用的活躍使用者，新加坡在人均基礎上可能排名最靠前。這在個人層面上是好的，但我們更大的挑戰是，我們如何讓 AI 在企業層面、行業層面和國家層面帶來價值？
我們已經確定了四個部門的國家 AI 使命——先進製造、醫療保健、金融和連通性——這些共同貢獻我們 GDP 的 40%。我們也需要合作伙伴來解決我們的一些最大挑戰，例如將飛機處理能力增加一倍或增加兩倍，或使精準醫學成為現實。
我們部署 AI 越多，就越需要確保這樣做是以負責任的方式進行的。我們需要在 AI 的使用方式上建立信任。在這方面，我們再次需要合作伙伴來管理 AI 風險並保護我們的關鍵系統。
從我們的角度看，該委員會很適合在全球範圍內建立有意義的夥伴關係，這將幫助包括新加坡在內的更多國家把 AI 的雄心轉化為 AI 的應用，這將是具有持久價值的。
Doreen Bogdan-Martin
主持人及國際電信聯盟（ITU）秘書長：你希望從該委員會看到什麼？
Josephine Teo 部長：我認為該委員會可以做到各個國家獨自很難做到的事情。
我想說大概有三件事。一是使用 AI 做好事的能力是一個分享經驗和了解他人如何做到的問題。其次，我認為我們都希望有一定程度的
自主權來做出明智的選擇，關於我們與誰合作、從誰那裡購買、購買什麼以及購買條件。我認為關於這些方面可以實現什麼的指導總是非常實用和受歡迎的。第三，我認為我們都在嘗試在各自的社會中建立基礎點，這些基礎點給我們在 AI 使用中帶來廣度、深度和韌性，使其可持續發展。你如何做到這一點？僅靠個別專案夠嗎？顯然不夠。那麼，什麼給我們帶來持久的價值？這是我們都需要找到辦法去做的事情。

Moderator & Secretary-General, International Telecommunication Union (ITU): Let’s get started. Minister Teo, I want to start with you. At the Global Dialogue yesterday, you compared making AI a force for good to the “patient work of tending a garden, sowing seeds before the flowers bloom”.
That’s a beautiful metaphor! If the Commission wants to build a community of AI Gardeners growing our collective capacity for innovative yet safe AI ecosystems, what can we learn from Singapore’s example?
Minister Josephine Teo: Thank you, Doreen. Let me first congratulate the Co-Chairs, President Kagame and Mr Marc Benioff, and you, for putting together this remarkable group of people as part of the Commission. This itself is an achievement.
Regarding the metaphor - years ago, Singapore set out to be a garden city. Today, we think of ourselves as a city in a garden. It’s not just the aesthetics, but the value of natural cooling in a very hot, humid, and densely built-up place. It is the value of being liveable for everyone. Achieving it took time – a lot of careful planning and operational excellence. We also had many partners.
There are similarities with how we are approaching AI. For example, many of our industry partners leaned forward to help our people learn to use AI tools. Today, if you look at the active users of the top Generative AI applications, Singapore probably features amongst the highest on a per capita basis. This is good at the individual level, but our bigger challenge is, how do we get AI to bring value at the enterprise level, industry level and national level?
We have identified National AI Missions in four sectors – Advanced Manufacturing, Healthcare, Finance, and Connectivity – which together contribute 40% to our GDP. We need partners too, to solve some of our biggest challenges, such as doubling or tripling our aircraft handling capacity or making precision medicine a reality.
The more that we deploy AI, the more we need to care that it is also being done in a way that is responsible. We need to build trust in the way that AI is used. Here, again, we need partners to manage AI risks and protect our critical systems.
From how we are looking at it, the Commission is well placed to build meaningful partnerships at global scale that will help more countries, like Singapore, turn AI ambition into AI adoption, and that will be something of lasting value.

Moderator & Secretary-General, International Telecommunication Union (ITU): What would you like to see from this Commission?
Minister Josephine Teo: I think the Commission can do things that individual countries on our own will find very difficult to do.
I would say there are around three things. One is that the ability to use AI for good, is a matter of sharing experiences and knowing how others have done it. Secondly, I think we all desire a level of
autonomy to make smart choices about who we partner with, who we buy from, what we buy, and on what terms. I think some guidance on what can be achieved on those fronts, would always be very practical and very welcome. Third, I think we are all trying to build anchors in our societies that give us breadth, depth, and resilience in the use of AI, so that it is sustainable. How do you do that? And are individual projects going to be enough? Clearly not. So, what gives us enduring value? This is something that we all need to figure out a way to do.
