Singapore aims to triple its AI workforce to 15,000 in the next three to five years, focusing on specific talents and ideas rather than just numbers. The strategy includes efforts to drive AI creation and usage, support AI start-ups, update national research priorities, and strengthen data sharing and computing power. Singapore is also targeting the development of an 'iconic AI site' to nurture a tight-knit knowledge community. The country's general pipeline of tech talent faces challenges, but it is attracting AI talent due to its transparency, suitability as a testbed, interconnectivity, and streamlined employment pass system.
