Some 50,000 small- and medium-sized enterprises in Singapore will get a boost in adopting new tech -- such as AI and cloud services -- in the next five years. This, under a new blueprint launched to help support their digitalisation journey with new schemes, as well as enhanced existing ones. New guidelines and tools will also be developed to help SMEs be more resistant to cybercrime. The Infocomm Media Development Authority expects 15,000 SMEs to take up AI-enabled solutions over the next two years, up from 3,000 last year. Nicolas Ng reports.
