AI Singapore, a national research and development program, is teaming up with AI infrastructure expert Run:ai. This strategic collaboration aims to expedite AI Singapore’s mission of bolstering AI adoption across various industries. The partnership aspires to deliver scalable infrastructure solutions, thus facilitating a multitude of AI projects. This endeavor aligns with Singapore’s ambition to evolve as a global AI leader by 2030, as stated by the company.
Laurence Liew, Director of AI Innovation at AI Singapore, emphasized the criticality of managing resources and infrastructure effectively to support a broad portfolio of AI projects. He praised Run:ai as a key catalyst in the process, offering vital tools and insights for optimizing AI workflows and infrastructure.
Run:ai’s Atlas Platform aids project management by automatically scaling and scheduling GPU resources. It presents GPU consumption and usage statistics, enabling organizations to optimize AI projects across various environments.
“AI leverage is crucial for every country,” said Omri Geller, CEO and co-founder of Run:ai. He voiced his belief that their solution would play a pivotal role in enabling AI Singapore to cater to the AI development requirements of their community, which encompasses startups, universities, and businesses embarking on AI projects.
AI Singapore’s flagship initiatives, the 100 Experiments Programme (100E) and the AI Apprenticeship Programme (AIAP), have cooperated with numerous companies and trained AI engineers to develop, test, and deploy hundreds of AI models addressing real-world problems.

The announcement of this collaboration comes amid rising debates regarding the need for government intervention in AI. Last month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman highlighted the risks posed by AI to US lawmakers and the urgent need for heavier regulations due to ethical, legal, and national security concerns.
Altman expressed concerns about AI’s increasing power and its potential to alter life as we know it, echoing the sentiments of his team at OpenAI and many others. To mitigate these risks, he proposed establishing a US-based or global agency to license AI systems, ensure compliance with safety standards, and possess the authority to revoke licenses.
