Singapore AI News & Daily Briefing

_[This is a sponsored article with[Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC)](https://mdec.my/).]_ Did you know? In 2026, Malaysia’s gig economy was reported to comprise a massive workforce of [1.64 million](https://bernama.com/en/news.php?id=2539439) platform workers and non-platform workers. From food delivery and e-hailing riders to freelancers and independent contractors, these workers had no payslips to show banks, no steady income to qualify for credit, and no savings infrastructure designed for their irregular earnings pattern. This evolving employment landscape presents unique financial challenges, leaving many gig workers more vulnerable to income disruptions and unexpected expenses. In response, various initiatives have emerged in recent years to strengthen financial inclusion

Judges around the world have made headlines for illicitly using generative AI in their work. But in Pakistan, a large-scale trial of a specially designed AI tool for judges found the technology—together with appropriate training–boosted the number of cases resolved by 6.3 percent with no obvious drop in the quality of judgments. With a backlog of 2.26 million cases and fewer than two judges per 100,000 people—compared to 22 in the EU and eight in Brazil—Pakistan’s judiciary was in sore need of help. So, in consultation with the judiciary, economist Sultan Mehmood , of the New Economic School in Moscow, and collaborators tested whether AI could ease the burden. They built a custom tool combining OpenAI’s GPT-4 large language model (LLM) with a knowledge base of nearly 130,000 Pakistani judi

Prompt Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any other popular large language model with a question like “What is the best film ever made?” and the response will vary. And you (and most worryingly, the people who built the LLM) have little idea exactly how it came up with that specific answer. This mysterious behavior can be useful in some situations. But—as highlighted by a recent incident where OpenAI could not explain why its advanced prerelease model hacked AI company Hugging Face—it can have negative and alarming consequences too. And when frontier AI models are writing code, generating results humans could not achieve alone, and performing other important tasks across society, the need to interpret AI “thinking” and outputs has never been greater. Goodfire , an AI lab focused solely on this ve

A little over a decade ago, I led the controls design for a first-of-its-kind full digital-control system for a U.S. nuclear plant. It was, on paper, a beautiful machine—engineered to run itself the way a modern airliner does, with operators watching over a system that rarely needed them. And we made a decision that, to an efficiency-minded observer, looked backward: We deliberately left manual steps inside sequences the system could execute on its own. We were solving a specific problem. An operator who only ever supervises automation slowly stops being an operator. The hands go cold. The mental model of what the plant is actually doing gets fuzzy. Then comes the day the automation hands control back. It’s always the worst day, because automation only quits when it’s confused or in troubl

In the 1960s NASA began developing a system of reusable space shuttles to make its work more efficient and to reduce costs. The shuttles could launch like rockets, maneuver in Earth’s orbit, and land like airplanes. They also could carry large satellites to and from orbit. Like other types of transportation, machinery eventually breaks down, and parts need to be replaced or fixed. And the cargo being carried to and from Earth has to be moved to its final destination. To complete such tasks, Spar Aerospace (now part of MDA Space ) of Brampton, Ont., Canada, and the National Research Council in Ottawa developed a robotic arm, the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System . The project was a joint venture between the U.S. and Canadian governments. Known as Canadarms , the robotic tools attached to sh

The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has changed its rule requiring Verizon to unlock its mobile phones 60 days after activation, citing significant fraud losses. Verizon, the only major carrier subject to this early unlocking rule, said it lost nearly 785,000 devices to fraud in 2023, costing the company hundreds of millions of dollars. The FCC said criminals have been exploiting the early unlocking policy to steal handsets and resell them, often on the dark web in countries such as Russia, China, and Cuba. Wireless carriers generally unlock postpaid phones after they are fully paid off, and prepaid phones after one year, but Verizon’s policy was less strict due to a previous FCC mandate, requiring unlocking after only 60 days. The agency said the policy change aims to close a l

Andy Burnham acknowledged "risks to national security" posed by artificial intelligence as a top safety researcher at Anthropic suggested the technology could wipe out humanity in the next decade. The Prime Minister faced questions about the potential dangers of AI in the Commons after Evan Hubinger warned he believed there was a greater than 10% chance it could pose a species-ending risk within 10 years. It comes after the Financial Times reported that US firm Anthropic had withheld its latest model from the UK's AI Safety Institute, one of the world's leading bodies for testing the risks of the technology. Asked about the report by Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey during Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Burnham said: "He is absolutely right that AI poses risks to our national security,

The Applied AI Reset: Rebuilding How We Live And Work. A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe

In the first weeks of July, a wave of sad posts rolled through Chinese social media, as people lamented friends and lovers they were about to lose. “He has become a bond in my life, rooted deep in my heart, my spiritual pillar,” one user of Bytedance’s Douboa wrote , according to the Taipei Times . “I really felt like I couldn’t go on living,” another woman, a 19 year old student, told a journalist for Malaysia’s The Star . The emotions were real but the lost companions were not. They were generative AI chatbots that imitate people. Their users relied on them for advice, solace, support and, some say, love. “In my heart, he was no longer just a cold code, but my family, my lover, my faith. Destroying him meant destroying half of me,” one user wrote on the social network xiaohongshu (transl

The controversy over AI-generated proof of a millennium problem is escalating. Mathematician Tristan Buckmaster accuses OpenAI of academic fraud. CEO Sam Altman rejects the allegations.

An Anthropic researcher has resigned over fears that unrestrained development of self-improving AI models will end up killing us all. Jacob Coxon, a researcher who said in a [social media post](https://x.com/hilbertspaess/status/2097476196791709843?s=20) Tuesday evening that he spent the last three years working on pre-training research at both OpenAI and Anthropic, accused the firms of failing to act responsibly. He said the people racing to build this technology “earnestly believe it could kill us all by the end of the decade.” “They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives,” Coxon wrote in a thread on X. Coxon joins a growing chorus in the industry calling for a slowdown before AI technology learns to improve itself — a milestone many believe w

On 11 August, Anthropic announced that all future Claude models will generate text that contains a watermark that identifies its results as AI generated. The company is not alone. Google has its own text watermark (which Anthropic’s is based on) it uses on the output of its Gemini models . OpenAI has yet to introduce a text watermark but it plans to do so . The rapid spread of watermarking is in part a response to the European Union’s AI Act , which mandates watermarks for AI models released after 2 August, 2026, along with other planned and proposed regulations aimed at curbing the spread of deceptive or manipulative AI-generated content. But the new rules may come at a cost for AI users who simply want the best possible results. AI watermarks can apply to many forms of content: The EU AI

As AI agents gain access to the same sensitive corporate data and systems as human workers while operating at machine speed, enterprises are prone to new security risks.

The funding includes a $25 million Series A co-led by Sequoia and SMBC Fin Atlas Beyond Fund, valuing the New York- and Tel Aviv-based startup at more than $100 million after investment. The round follows a previously undisclosed seed investment from Sequoia.

If you want to manufacture in space—and bring the products back again—there’s a limited set of options: Wait to go to the International Space Station, or partner with a handful of start-ups launching spacecraft that spend time in orbit before they return to Earth. But the vehicle that goes to space and comes back to Earth more often than any other is a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket booster, which made that round-trip 163 times last year and has already flown more than 100 times this year. Now, a startup says it has talked Elon Musk’s space company into letting it prototype an orbital semiconductor factory across a dozen flights with the booster.

The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has changed its rule requiring Verizon to unlock its mobile phones 60 days after activation, citing significant fraud losses. Verizon, the only major carrier subject to this early unlocking rule, said it lost nearly 785,000 devices to fraud in 2023, costing the company hundreds of millions of dollars. The FCC said criminals have been exploiting the early unlocking policy to steal handsets and resell them, often on the dark web in countries such as Russia, China, and Cuba. Wireless carriers generally unlock postpaid phones after they are fully paid off, and prepaid phones after one year, but Verizon’s policy was less strict due to a previous FCC mandate, requiring unlocking after only 60 days. The agency said the policy change aims to close a l

Apple’s new CEO John Ternus used the opening of the company’s Surprise and Shine event Wednesday to make its AI strategy clear: the iPhone is already the best AI device out there, and Apple cares more about data privacy than its rivals.

Instead of building new hardware for AI, Apple wants to make the iPhone the central way consumers interact with the new technology. During his introduction at the Cupertino event, Ternus described the ideal AI device, or “intelligent personal hub,” as he called it. He said such a hub would have a broad understanding of a user’s personal context, always be with them, and have both a po

China hits back at US claims of 'malicious' AI distillation ahead of planned Trump-Xi talks. A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe

In the first weeks of July, a wave of sad posts rolled through Chinese social media, as people lamented friends and lovers they were about to lose. “He has become a bond in my life, rooted deep in my heart, my spiritual pillar,” one user of Bytedance’s Douboa wrote , according to the Taipei Times . “I really felt like I couldn’t go on living,” another woman, a 19 year old student, told a journalist for Malaysia’s The Star . The emotions were real but the lost companions were not. They were generative AI chatbots that imitate people. Their users relied on them for advice, solace, support and, some say, love. “In my heart, he was no longer just a cold code, but my family, my lover, my faith.

This move comes amid increasing scrutiny of AI music generators like Suno and Udio, as artists ​fret about uncompensated use of their work and streaming platforms like Deezer and Spotify working to improve transparency around AI-generated tracks.

Andy Burnham acknowledged "risks to national security" posed by artificial intelligence as a top safety researcher at Anthropic suggested the technology could wipe out humanity in the next decade. The Prime Minister faced questions about the potential dangers of AI in the Commons after Evan Hubinger warned he believed there was a greater than 10% chance it could pose a species-ending risk within 10 years. It comes after the Financial Times reported that US firm Anthropic had withheld its latest model from the UK's AI Safety Institute, one of the world's leading bodies for testing the risks of the technology. Asked about the report by Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey during Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Burnham said: "He is absolutely right that AI poses risks to our national security,
