National research and development programme AI Singapore has chosen AI infrastructure specialist Run:ai as its strategic partner as it looks to accelerate and support AI Singapore in its mission to increase the adoption of AI by the industry.

This collaboration will deliver scalable infrastructure solutions for a wide range of AI projects to support Singapore’s goals to be a global leader in developing and deploying AI by 2030, according to the company in a statement.

"Effectively managing resources and infrastructure is vital to supporting our diverse portfolio of AI projects," said Laurence Liew, director of AI innovation, AI Singapore.

“Run:ai is a key enabler of this process, providing us with the tools and insights to optimise our AI workflows and infrastructure,” he added.

Run:ai's Atlas Platform also aids project management by automatically scaling and scheduling GPU resources while displaying graphics processing unit (GPU) consumption and usage to allow organisations to optimise their AI projects across an array of environments.

"Successfully leveraging AI is critical for every country," said Omri Geller, CEO and co-founder of Run:ai.

"We believe that our solution will play a pivotal role in enabling AI Singapore to meet the AI development needs of their community, including startups, universities, and businesses looking to embark on AI projects,” he continued.

AI Singapore’s flagship 100 Experiments Programme (100E) and AI Apprenticeship Programme (AIAP) has worked with companies and trained AI engineers to develop, test and deploy hundreds of AI models that address real world problems.

This collaboration comes in the wake of the rising conversation surrounding the need for government intervention in AI. The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, took the stand last month to speak directly to US lawmakers about the risks artificial intelligence (AI) poses and why heavier regulations are needed amidst ethical, legal and national security concerns.

Speaking to the Senate Judiciary subcommittee, Altman, who was the man behind ChatGPT, noted that AI systems have become incredibly powerful but that as it advances, more people are getting anxious about the way it could change the way we live.

He noted that his team at OpenAI as well as himself were concerned about this too. To mitigate the risks, Altman proposed forming a US-based or global agency or committee that would be able to license these AI systems and to ensure compliance with safety standards as well as have the authority to revoke licenses.
