Singapore’s AI Pivot: Singapore upgrades its AI model for local languages using Alibaba’s Qwen3
Professor Ng Hwee Tou from NUS Computing shared his expert perspectives in CGTN's (China Global Television Network) Asia Today segment on Singapore's AI pivot, which focuses on the country's efforts to upgrade AI models for local languages using Alibaba's Qwen3.
He explained why effective translation in multilingual contexts must go beyond word-for-word conversion to capture meaning, cultural references, and local expressions. His commentary was provided in the context of Qwen3's ability to support 119 languages and dialects, highlighting how multilingual AI models are designed to better handle linguistic nuance compared to many Western systems.
