Temasek's annual review, published 2026-07-08, gives AI its own chapter (§3.3 Our AI Strategy). It carries exactly one dated numeric commitment: AI-related investments now make up 6% of the portfolio, to be raised to 10–15% by 31 March 2031 — against a S$518 billion portfolio, reaching 15% means more than doubling AI holdings. The piece walks through the four pillars, the year's purchases (Anthropic / OpenAI / xAI / CuspAI / PhysicsX / Lam Research and others), and what lands in Singapore: Temus's AI Foundry, Aicadium × gategroup, Resaro, and the AI Leadership Programme run with Stanford Graduate School of Business.
On 2026-08-06 OpenAI published country-by-country ChatGPT usage data for the first time. The accompanying Signals dataset ranks Singapore #1 of 147 countries on messages per capita for Q2 2026 (UAE #6, United States #51, Japan #57, Indonesia #101). This is the third independent vendor dataset to place Singapore at or near the top, after Anthropic (AUI 5.53, 1st of 116 regions) and Microsoft (60.9% adoption, 2nd globally). Singapore appears in the article body only as a counter-example — the share of messages from users aged 35+ rose just 1.2 percentage points against a 5.1-point country median; our editor's note explains why that figure measures message composition rather than adoption.

Monthly snapshots from the official MyCareersFuture API: the first capture (2026-08) counts 1,475 open AI positions, with a disclosed-salary median of S$8,000/month (P25–P75: S$6,000–10,500); TikTok, ByteDance, NTU, Google and NUS lead the employer table. Methodology is frozen and snapshots are immutable — history cannot be collected retroactively, so the series itself is the asset; quarter-over-quarter views unlock once two quarters accumulate.
A monthly digest that distils the most notable 5–10 papers from the hundreds of Singapore-affiliated AI publications on OpenAlex: deterministic prefiltering (Singapore first author or ≥30% authorship share), venue-strength and citation ranking, then model-assisted curation. The first issue features 6 papers across 3 themes — AI safety & evaluation, LLMs & agents, and AI for Science — from NUS, NTU and SUSS, published in four languages.
