SINGAPORE – To accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) adoption and prepare the workforce here, Google and the Ministry of Education officially launched Google AI Living Labs across institutes of higher learning on Feb 10.
The first lab was set up in October 2025 at ITE College East, with more to follow in Nanyang Polytechnic and other institutions by 2027.
“For Singapore’s youth, AI fluency will be as fundamental as maths. With that, we want to ensure every Singaporean is empowered with the relevant AI knowledge from a young age,” said Mr Ben King, managing director of Google Singapore.
“That’s why we’ve launched the Google AI Living Labs to equip 50,000 Singaporean students and educators with the skills to not just understand the latest AI innovations, but to co-create with it.”
“We are bringing the future of technology directly onto campuses, ensuring the next global AI breakthrough starts in a Singaporean classroom,” he added.
