OpenAI Inc. is establishing an AI lab in Singapore through a multiyear partnership with the government to advance the city-state’s AI ambitions. The ChatGPT maker will invest over S$300 million ($234 million) to launch its first applied AI lab outside the US and expand its Singapore team to more than 200 roles in the coming years. The lab will support AI adoption in public services, finance, healthcare, and digital infrastructure, while collaborating with local startups. The move aligns with Singapore’s national strategy to prioritize AI development and workforce adaptation.
