Dear Students, Did you know that the term
Artificial Intelligence (AI) was coined in 1956? Fast forward to 2024 and it
is everywhere, AI has quietly snuck into every aspect of our daily lives,
transforming how we work and play. But do we know how to make the most of
this digital buddy? At ASME, we’re on a mission to help
SMEs excel. We know AI is the game-changer that will change how the world
works. To enable and empower SMEs and aspiring entrepreneurs to be able to
harness AI for their business, ASME is launching a series of cool initiatives
to help them excel. These initiatives are designed to give SMEs the skills
and tools to use AI like pros, no matter their size, age, or industry – we’re
non-discriminatory. One of our star initiatives to help
SMEs lead the AI Revolution, is our inaugural AI Festival Asia (AIFA). Set to
kick off in the first quarter of 2025, this festival will bring together
industry leaders, AI wizards, and business owners to dive into the latest AI
tech and its applications. AIFA aims to be a hub for networking, learning,
and collaboration; creating a space where SMEs can thrive in the digital age. But wait, there’s more! Leading up
to AIFA, ASME, in partnership with Straits Interactive, launched the National
AI Prompt Design Challenge this year. This
challenge was about encouraging participation, learning, and applying digital
skills to real-life challenges, offering both youth and open categories. The
youth category, held in June, saw participants aged 13 to 25 from Secondary
Schools, Junior Colleges, and Institutes of High Learning, including two
teams made up of NTU students! The open category took place in August, with
over 100 teams from SMEs demonstrating their unique perspectives and
creativity. The challenge was a huge hit, that not only showcased the
potential of local talent but also highlighted the importance of digital
literacy in today’s world. Want to stay in the
