MAS chief data officer David Hardoon said: “As financial institutions and FinTechs increase the experimentation and use of AI and data analytics to improve their services, government agencies need to ensure that our support, policies and regulations are attuned to developments and remain supportive of these new technologies.

“Our agencies will work towards a conducive environment that supports and expands the adoption of AI and data analytics in Singapore.”

MAS will collaborate with EDB and IMDA to link-up players in the financial and technology sectors.

IMDA’s AI Business Partnership Programme will be extended to deliver bespoke support for the financial sector’s AI adoption needs. To achieve this goal, the partners will offer a guided process to pair local companies seeking AI solutions with credible AI solutions providers.
