“The impact of technology on economies and societies cuts across national boundaries,” she said in Mandarin at a dialogue session with Ms Lee Huay Leng, editor-in-chief of SPH Media’s Chinese Media Group. The problem, however, is that these security concerns intensify when “we don’t know what the other party is doing”.
The Republic hosts many international tech conferences where everyone is welcome to participate, she later told reporters from Singapore. These are neutral platforms where “people can speak with each other to understand what’s happening in each other’s ecosystems”, she said. Urging a more nuanced view, Professor Zhu Xufeng, the dean of Tsinghua University’s School of Public Policy and Management, said the US and China each had different strengths.
Panellist He Ruimin, Singapore’s chief AI officer, said that such rankings were not a priority for the city state, as it is focused on the tangible benefits of AI for people and businesses.The forum was held at the Shangri-La Hotel in the Suzhou Industrial Park , the first inter-governmental project between Singapore and China that commemorates its 30th anniversary in 2024.
