Since proposing the vision of smart country five years ago, the government has launched a national artificial intelligence strategy recently, specifically showing that MDASH; MDASH; transportation, logistics, smart cities and neighbors, health care, education, and security and security MDASH; mdash; MDASH; Promote the development of artificial intelligence, to help the economic transformation while improving people's lives.More importantly, the national artificial intelligence strategy also gives Singapore the opportunity to participate in the formulation of the use of artificial intelligence rules in practice and maintain the front -end position of the future scientific and technological development trend.

Vice Premier and Minister of Finance Wang Ruijie said on November 13 at the Singapore Fintech Festival and Singapore Science and Technology Innovation Week on November 13 that the state must keep up with the development of science and technology and use science and technology to solve common challenges and national priority matters.He also emphasized that the use of science and technology must take people's needs as starting points. The popularity of artificial intelligence must improve the well -being of all Chinese people, not just to make a few capable people profit.This also means that Singapore's education must also be continuously updated to ensure that more people can engage in high -value -added work because of the popularity of artificial intelligence.

Looking for new economic growth points has always been one of the secrets of Singapore's international competitiveness.As an open -oriented country with a small population, Singapore must ensure that it is not behind the global development trend.Artificial intelligence is obviously a major direction of the development of science and technology in the future. Adopting or not is no longer a problem. The question is how to adopt it and integrate it into the great strategy of the transformation of the national economic structure.Selecting artificial intelligence in five fields reflects thinking about the general market behind this new technology.

The characteristic of intelligent technology is that reducing manpower while improving efficiency, which is particularly important for countries where population aging is aging.Transportation, neighborhoods, medical and education are all areas of people's livelihood. The promotion of intelligent technology here shows that it meets the core requirements of the people's needs.Security and security are also related to the people's life and property; logistics is the blood of the economy, which can enhance Singapore's existing advantages as a global transportation hub, which is conducive to future economic transformation.

What's more important is that the promotion of artificial intelligence as early as possible for Singapore to master the advantages and disadvantages of science and technology in the process of practice.The emergence of any new technology will inevitably bring new moral and ethical challenges. For example, the rapid advancement of genetic technology has spawned whether the wealthy class will use genetic technology to customize good breed babies to continue their own wealth and status advantages.Artificial intelligence is also facing the same problem, especially the characteristics of the end of the end, and its omnipotent characteristics have seriously weakened personal privacy and caused people to escape from the heavens and the earth.In the era of artificial intelligence, traditional labor rights, and even human dignity and value may also be eroded. How to grasp the use of use is a challenge that must be dealt with as soon as possible.

In his speech, Wang Ruijie said that the promotion of intelligent technology also involves good governance, including the establishment of judgment standards for the establishment of intelligent technology, and how intelligent technology should adopt.These explorations on value ethics will help Singapore to maintain an advantage in the future tendency of scientific and technological development, and even participate in the formulation of standards.This discussion on the value of new technology can also allow Singapore to maintain its due soberness and vigilance while embracing new technologies, reducing the negative impact of new technologies.

Because this matter is related to the future of Singapore, the Chinese people are also unprepared to the promotion of artificial intelligence.In addition to paying attention to the development trend and renewing their knowledge and skills as much as possible, it also includes care of the negative impacts it may bring, publicly expressing and discussing what I think about.The next generation will live and grow under the shroud of intelligent technology. How to build a healthy and free environment for them is the obligation that this generation should perform.
