Singtel launches its new Artificial Intelligence Cloud Service (AI Cloud) offering RE:AI to democratise AI for organisations.
"Many enterprises and public sector customers have shown keen interest in bringing AI into their operations. However, the high costs and long lead times for GPUs, the need for special environments to host them due to their intense energy utilisation, the complexity of AI technology, and the lack of talent are key friction points in their respective journeys," Bill Chang, CEO of Singtel's Digital InfraCo, said.
Affordable AI access
Through the offering, enterprises and public sector customers can have affordable access to AI technologies by combining state-of-the-art AI compute infrastructure with 5G, fixed, or quantum-safe networks.
"With the launch of RE:AI, we're significantly reducing entry barriers, making AI easily accessible to enterprises, government agencies, research communities, and academia – the more people have access to AI, the more innovation is bound to emerge, which fuels growth. RE:AI will foster a dynamic ecosystem of partners with distinctive capabilities and platforms to accelerate AI adoption to sustainably drive innovation and growth in Singapore and the region," said Chang.
He hopes building the ecosystem will attract global AI tech companies to expand into the region, which is a key to positioning Singapore as a regional AI.
Democratising AI
RE:AI aims to provide AI capabilities and tools through cloud-based platforms powered by Paragon. The solution aims to allow enterprises to easily access solutions to develop customised AI environments and deploy AI at scale and speed.
