DISG and AI Singapore to expand AI training
The programme addresses challenges faced by SMBs in leveraging AI and machine learning technologies through targeted training and masterclasses on AI-driven strategies.
DISG and AI Singapore are spearheading an expanded phase of the ‘Upskill with Meta’ programme, which now emphasises AI to support better small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and students. The initiative, aligned with the Digital Enterprise Blueprint launched by Singapore’s Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI), aims to empower 500 businesses and 4,500 students with advanced digital skills.
The programme is designed to address SMBs’ challenges in effectively leveraging AI and machine learning technologies, offering targeted training to help them integrate these tools into their operations.
The initiative by DISG and AI Singapore is part of a broader effort to demystify AI for SMBs. The goal is to make AI more accessible and less intimidating for non-technical users, thereby fostering confidence in using these technologies. The expanded programme includes masterclasses on AI-driven strategies for marketing, customer support, and business messaging tools, providing practical skills that SMBs can directly apply to enhance their capabilities and innovate within their industries.
This expansion complements other government-led efforts, such as the generative AI (GenAI) Sandbox programme, which allows SMEs to gain hands-on experience with AI technologies. By supporting these initiatives, DISG and AI Singapore aim to build a digitally resilient workforce and ensure that every sector is included in the digital transformation process.
