The conference is expected to host about 4,000 industry players from around the world, to discuss matters of AI, quantum computing, sustainability and other pressing topics in the tech sector. “What does getting regulation right mean? We cannot realistically aim to ensure that AI only delivers good. It is not realistically achievable,” the former coordinating minister for social policies said.
Most of those who do not trust AI are hesitant to adopt it, the study found, even as AI tools are being launched into the mainstream. Nearly six in 10 respondents also fear humans will lose control of AI. Communities need to avoid a scenario where workers with middle skills are displaced, he said, adding that Singapore has made it a priority to help workers upgrade their skills.He described challenges linked to AI, along with climate change, as the most pressing complex and important challenges of our time.
