Accelerating AI impact in Singapore
Singapore has long been a global blueprint for digital innovation. Through its National AI Strategy, the nation is actively charting a course for how AI can be deployed at scale — not just to fuel economic competitiveness, but to meaningfully improve everyday lives.
Today, we’re deepening our AI investments in Singapore through a new national AI partnership with the Singapore government. Led by the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI), this new partnership brings together multiple public agencies and ministries to harness frontier AI as a powerful force for good.
Together, we are expanding our commitment to solve critical societal challenges, foster an AI-ready workforce, and drive enterprise innovation for an AI-driven economy, while keeping trust and safety at the forefront.
Accelerating breakthroughs in health and life sciences
AI is accelerating progress on some of humanity's biggest challenges, and Singapore is the ideal place to innovate on new AI solutions. Supported by the presence of the Google DeepMind research lab in Singapore and part of its broader National Partnerships for AI initiative, we are working alongside local experts to drive research and development on high-impact areas:
In health, Google DeepMind is exploring a collaboration with public health clusters in its global “AI co-clinician research” initiative to explore how AI can augment and support a doctor’s expertise to deliver higher quality care. This includes AI agents to support patients throughout their care journeys under the clinical authority of their physician, with systems that can provide more precise information sourced from clinical guidelines and scientific literature
To accelerate scientific discovery, we are also collaborating with the National Research Foundation (NRF) to train local scientific communities to use our agentic AI for Science tools like Co-Scientist, which are already showing promise in a range of biomedical applications. This will be complemented with workshops to help the scientific community use these frontier tools.
This also extends to our partnership with Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) where we’ll equip researchers and staff with Google Cloud’s secure, AI-enabled tools including hypothesis generation capabilities to support scientific research and analysis. This allows them to securely analyze scientific data within a governed environment, and speed up new discoveries while safeguarding its intellectual property.
True innovation requires inclusivity. To do that, Google DeepMind is developing a running agent for blind and low vision athletes. Using real-time spatial reasoning, this tool helps the athletes run independently without physical lines or human guides. We are partnering with Singapore’s focal agency for disability and inclusion—to test and iterate the product so it meets the real-world needs of vision-impaired runners.
Helping educators and training tomorrow's workforce
To ensure the benefits of AI reach everyone, we are working closely with the government to build a future-ready education ecosystem.
The foundation is already in place. Google has enabled advanced AI functionalities within Google Workspace for Education for all educators from primary schools to junior colleges. This provides teachers with secure, AI-powered assistance like planning lessons and tailoring course material, giving them more time to focus on teaching and mentoring students.
Building on this, the Ministry of Education (MOE) and Google are expanding their collaboration to strengthen MOE’s AI capabilities across teaching and learning, including educator training and upskilling programmes. These efforts are part of MOE’s broader approach to evaluate how enterprise solutions can be applied effectively and scaled in support of education outcomes.
These efforts build on Google Singapore’s ongoing Majulah AI initiative, which brings together high-touch and scaled initiatives to empower every segment of the population in Singapore.
Driving innovation for growth
In its efforts to drive innovations for growth for enterprises and the local startup ecosystem, we are expanding the team of Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) at the Google Cloud Singapore Engineering Center, to help Singapore-based companies further accelerate and scale agentic enterprise transformation.
Keeping Singapore’s AI ecosystem safe and trusted
Finally, to realize the full benefits of AI, safety must come first. This partnership aims to establish Singapore as a global lighthouse for trust technologies, developing the safety frameworks and tools necessary for the responsible AI deployment.
As agentic systems — specifically "computer use" agents — become more capable, we need to understand how they behave in the real world. A joint whitepaper developed by Google, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA), Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech Singapore), and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) discusses findings and recommendations from their AI Agents Sandbox. These include the best practices necessary for these agents to safely and efficiently perform tasks like software testing and social assistance application.
Additionally, Google DeepMind is collaborating with IMDA and MLCommons to research multimodal and multilingual safety benchmarks. This collaboration is focused on supporting the safe and responsible deployment of AI that respects the nuance of local languages and cultures, helping to ensure that the digital future we build is one that is designed for and with everyone.
Looking ahead
Realizing this bold vision requires deep, trusted collaboration. We are incredibly proud to continue this journey alongside Singapore's government, businesses and communities to build a future that is safe, innovative and beneficial for all.
