Opening the conversation on AI on the first day of the conference on Nov 15, newly sworn-in President Tharman Shanmugaratnam said that this technological revolution is set to have a more profound effect on the workforce and society than any previous rounds.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has been all everyone has been talking about since it came to the fore a year ago. It is therefore no surprise that the topic dominated the latest edition of Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF), which saw a record number of over 800 speakers, 700 exhibitors and 36 international pavilions across five thematic zones.
This year, the three-day festival was focused around the theme: “AI for good. AI for good?”, and delved into the technology’s promise and pitfalls over multiple panels that debated its role in different sectors and parts of the world.
