At its core is a playbook drawing on insights from industry practitioners and educators

- Annabelle Liang Correspondent

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore will be able to access an ecosystem to accelerate the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (Gen Al) for their businesses under a new initiative.

At the centre of this new initiative is a playbook, The Al Factory — Al Capability Guide for SMEs, which was launched on Nov I.

The guide, drawing on insights from industry practitioners and educators, will be used as a reference for AI capability-building programmes run by the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (ASME).

It will also be a key teaching resource at SMU Academy, which plans to launch new industry graduate diploma programmes on Al. One new programme is currently under development and slated to be launched in 2026.

The new initiative is a collaboration between ASME, SMU Academy and education technology firm Straits Interactive.
