The initiative aims to cultivate interdisciplinary researchers who are proficient in both AI technologies and one or more scientific domains. It will also assist researchers with access to and sharing of relevant datasets and compute resources, and promote the collocation of researchers to foster co-creation and maximise transferability of capabilities and expertise to multiple domains of science.
Additionally, it will support collaborations between Singapore-based researchers and international counterparts to fill in capability gaps and seed new expertise in Singapore.
The AI for Science initiative seeks to ensure Singapore can benefit from the latest advancements and breakthroughs in AI for scientific discovery and that the city-state’s research community remains competitive and vibrant.
The initiative is part of the newly announced Smart Nation 2.0, which aims to shape how we use technology to build trust, for growth and to strengthen unity and inclusion in the community.
