AISG Research Collaborative Project with US-NSF Researchers
This collaborative project, led by Professor Jie Zhang (NTU) in partnership with MIT researchers including Associate Professor Jacob Andreas, focuses on developing trustworthy and interpretable human-AI collaborative systems for combinatorial optimization. The research establishes natural language as a robust interface for human-AI interaction, enabling systems to formulate complex optimization problems from imprecise input, perform robust AI-assisted solving, and provide explainable feedback. The outcomes aim to serve industries like logistics, manufacturing, and finance with intelligent decision-making tools, while advancing the theoretical foundations of trustworthy AI collaboration.

AI Guide for Boards in Singapore (SID)
The Singapore Institute of Directors launched the "AI Guide for Boards in Singapore" on July 31, 2026, a 116-page practical guide designed to help boards navigate artificial intelligence opportunities and risks. Developed in partnership with OpenAI and Microsoft, with support from the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), the guide elevates board members' AI literacy and establishes AI governance as a core boardroom mandate rather than a passive technology committee topic. Minister Josephine Teo highlighted that no board can afford to be under-invested in AI as global competition intensifies, and emphasized the need for boards to balance innovation with effective risk management. The guide complements Singapore's National AI Strategy 2.0 and provides practical frameworks for integrating AI into corporate strategy, identifying opportunities, and managing regulatory, cybersecurity, and ethical risks.

Capital & Infrastructure
Capital events that used to live inside prose, now as dated, sourced records. Amounts are event totals, not per-party shares.
Ratio definition: numerator is the five hyperscalers' cumulative Singapore commitments (US$26B+, data centres and regional HQs); denominator is the 2023–2026 government AI envelope (S$2B+). No FX conversion is applied, so the ratio is illustrative; '+' marks floor disclosures.
