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.
