Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

Temus, a digital transformation services company, announced an inaugural partnership with AI Singapore (AISG). The two sealed the partnership with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) recently. This strategic partnership aims to:

• Accelerate Artificial Intelligence (AI) innovation and adoption among companies in Singapore.
• Contribute to the national AI strategy.
• Reinforce Singapore’s position as a global AI hub.

Under the MOU, Temus and AISG will collaborate to catalyse digital transformation, promote AI adoption and develop new AI technologies, solutions, and applications for firms based in Singapore. The partnership will also provide training, resources and mentorship to nurture local AI talent and support local research projects.

Accelerating AI adoption and deployment for Singapore Firms

Central to this collaboration is the encouragement of AI adoption and deployment among organisations under AISG’s flagship 100 Experiments (100E) programme. The programme is designed for AI-ready companies with suitable resources and data. To assist companies that lack these prerequisites, AISG will work with Temus, which offers guidance on data collection, preparation and governance. Once AI-ready, companies can utilise AISG’s 100E programme for AI solutions and products. They can also turn to Temus for deployment and maintenance support. Temus’ ‘vision-to-value’ digital transformation capabilities will increase AISG’s capacity to work with organisations to deliver long-term value for business transformation.

An example is the joint project with a Singapore-based aviation company. The preliminary stages of this project will see Temus, AISG and the aviation company collaborating to test AI-powered solutions that can make sense of large quantities of unstructured information. It will lead up to a potential project to drive efficiencies in the company’s contracting and negotiation process.

Realising the Smart Nation Vision

KC Yeoh, Chief Executive Officer at Temus, said: “

Temus is delighted to partner with AISG to realise the digital aspirations of Singapore’s enterprises and vision to be a Smart Nation. As AI becomes increasingly ubiquitous in our daily work and lives, we hope to strengthen our digital ecosystem with like-minded partners. We aim to help organisations innovate and transform with AI technology and solutions, which will, in turn, unlock economic and societal value for Singapore and beyond.”

Professor Mohan Kankanhalli, Deputy Executive Chairman at AI Singapore, added, “In an increasingly digital world, it is imperative that we increase AI-readiness across sectors and industries, so that Singapore can benefit from the immense potential of AI to catalyse change and develop smart technologies will the capacity to transform societies. We are thrilled to work with Temus to build and sustain a trusted AI environment in support of Singapore’s Smart Nation journey.”

Broadening Training, Adoption, and Use of AI and Machine Learning

This partnership will lead to more 100E projects from Temus’ ecosystem of partners and customers. As a result, it will provide more opportunities for Singaporeans to deepen their AI skills in AISG’s AI Apprenticeship Programme (AIAP). The programme allows apprentices to gain hands-on experience in real-world AI deployment projects that aim to address major challenges within public and private sectors.

As part of the partnership, Temus and AISG will also ensure that Singaporean companies remain at the forefront of AI advancements. They will do so by creating new opportunities for businesses to harness the potential of AI. In addition, they will equip their leaders with the necessary tools to navigate the digital revolution. This will include jointly delivering AI for Leaders seminars. Such seminar is a by-invite-only monthly event for business leaders and decision-makers that aims to help them:

• Gain industry insights on the latest developments in AI
• Understand the technology, better.
• Discuss how AI solutions can deliver better business outcomes.

Also at the MOU, Matt Johnson and Alan Huang, Temus’ Managing Directors for AI and Data and Transformation, respectively, delivered the first joint seminar titled “From Vision to Value.” In it, they shared a vision for the AI-enabled enterprise. They also outlined how leaders can deliver business value using AI.

Johnson said: “Companies are harnessing the power of AI to increase agility, creativity, and engagement, improve operational efficiency, enhance customer experience, increase innovation, manage talent better, and improve risk management. However, it is important to use AI ethically and responsibly and balance automation with human skills and empathy.”
