Singapore, 15 March 2018 – Today, AI Singapore (AISG) and PwC Singapore are joining hands to collaborate on Artificial Intelligence (AI) projects and to enhance digital trust competencies in both the public and private sector. This will be through dedicated research projects relating to data analytics; AI research & development; and risk management and governance to ensure responsible AI adoption. This will be pivotal to ensure trusted digital ecosystems as Singapore develops as a Smart Nation.
Greg Unsworth, Digital Business and Risk Assurance Leader, PwC Singapore says:

PwC Singapore advocates responsible AI adoption and is well positioned to help embed the right level of risk assessment, controls and governance frameworks to enable organisations to innovate with confidence. We are glad to be the first professional services firm to work with AISG in support of Singapore’s AI initiatives in line with Singapore’s Smart Nation ambitions.”
