NUS Professor Hahn Jungpil: “AI Advancement Hinges on Data, Capital, and Government R&D Support”
Professor Hahn Jungpil from NUS Computing was featured in an interview on ZDnet Korea discussing the global AI race, which he described as a “war of data and capital”. He noted that the United States and China are leading due to their access to vast data and strong investments in computing and AI models.
He highlighted the rise of agentic AI as a key driver of corporate investment but stressed the need for ethical development. Drawing from Singapore’s approach, he advocated for flexible, forward-looking regulations and emphasised the importance of cross-sector communication to balance innovation with governance.
