“It’s going to be hard, steering AI to deliver the most good and prevent the worst, [that and] climate change is probably going to be the most complex and important challenge facing the global community,” says President Tharman. “And with the most profound consequences if we get it right or wrong.”
Healthcare, food security, fraud detection, education and finance are areas where we can have “early wins” with artificial intelligence (AI), says President Tharman Shanmugaratnam at the opening gala of the fourth edition of ATxSummit on May 29.
This will help to give confidence to the public that we are on the right track and [AI] is not uncontrollable, he adds. The president was speaking at the country’s flagship tech event organised by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), which will draw over 3,000 attendees from 55 countries.
