Launched on March 25, the National University of Singapore AI Institute will conduct research on how to address the ethical concerns and risks associated with AI.
NAII will provide a “go-to” platform for the cross-sharing of ideas and collaboration on AI initiatives within the university through seminars, workshops and outreach events that people from different domains can attend. Some of SoC’s existing research centres and labs, including the NUS Centre for Research in Privacy Technologies and NUS-Tsinghua-Southampton Centre for Extreme Search, will evolve to be integrated into or affiliated with NAII, according to NUS. Through NAII, they will be able to tap the expertise of its wide range of partners and experts within and beyond NUS, such as overseas universities and industry research partners.
IBM and NUS will also work to empower local talent and enhance education through training for talent development and education as well as potential joint research activities, seminars and conferences.
