Creating a value proposition is most important for Singaporeans amid the increasing influence of artificial intelligence (AI), Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing said on Jan 9.

This begins with understanding the challenges that people face and the problems they want to solve, said Mr Chan, who was speaking at a dialogue involving 200 guests, mostly students from secondary schools and institutes of higher learning.

“Now this requires a deep understanding of the environment that we are in, which is why I always encourage all our students, all our young people and not so young people, to constantly look out to the world and understand what the world needs, what the world’s pain points are,” he added.
