NOTICE PAPER NO. 1396 OF 2026 FOR THE SITTING ON OR AFTER 7 OCTOBER 2026
QUESTION NO. 2194 FOR WRITTEN ANSWER

MP: Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song

To ask the Acting Minister for Manpower (a) how many Singaporeans have redeemed the complimentary six-month subscription to premium artificial intelligence (AI) tools since the scheme was launched; (b) what targets has the Ministry set for overall subscription take-up; (c) how do current redemption figures compare against these targets; and (d) what is the breakdown of the main AI tools subscribed to by beneficiaries.

Answer: 

The complimentary six-month subscription to premium versions of AI tools was launched on 16 September 2026 and is intended to reach around 200,000 individuals over three years. It complements broader Government efforts to build AI capabilities among Singaporeans and support AI adoption by enterprises.

2. As the initiative has been in operation for less than two weeks, it is too early to assess take-up against this three-year target.
