Two sandboxes have been introduced in Singapore to facilitate the development and testing of generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications for government agencies and businesses.
These sandboxes will be powered by Google Cloud’s generative AI toolsets, including the Vertex AI platform, low-code developer tools, and graphical processing units (GPUs). Google will also provide pre-trained generative AI models, which include their language model Palm, AI models from partners, and open-source alternatives.
The initiative is a result of a partnership agreement between the Singapore government and Google Cloud to establish an AI Government Cloud Cluster. The purpose of this cloud platform is to promote AI adoption in the public sector.
The two sandboxes will be provided at no cost for three months and will be available for up to 100 use cases or organizations. Selection for access to the sandboxes will occur through a series of workshops over 100 days, where participants will receive training from Google Cloud engineers to identify suitable use cases for generative AI.
The government sandbox will be administered by the Smart Nation and Digital Government Office (SNDGO), while the sandbox for local businesses will be managed by Digital Industry Singapore (DISG).
