Prudential plc on 19 Nov launched the Prudential AI Lab in Singapore, with the aim of accelerating the adoption of AI, generative AI and machine learning organisation-wide. The Lab will collaborate closely with ecosystem partners, such as institutes of higher learning (IHLs), research centres, government agencies and technology partners. It already has agreements with several IHLs including SMU’s School of Computing and Information Systems, NUS Asian Institute of Digital Finance, Republic Polytechnic and Singapore Polytechnic. The Lab will engage students from these local schools to nurture the next generation of AI experts by offering hands-on experiences as well as fostering knowledge sharing and innovation. Students on their internships with Prudential and those whose final year projects are selected will work alongside the Lab, its partner ecosystem, as well as Prudential's business units to build proofs-of-concept for selected use cases.
