Singapore is launching an ambitious talent‑building effort to equip at least 10,000 students with physical AI skills over the next five years, leveraging the National Robotics Program. The initiative spans primary schools to universities, offering hackathons, outreach, and hands‑on robot projects. Companies such as LionsBot and another unnamed robotics firm are delivering industry immersion, teaching common‑sense perception, AI security, and trustworthiness. The program anticipates new roles like AI security engineers. “We need students who can solve real‑world problems, not just theory,” said a program spokesperson. LionsBot’s rollout of team challenges and the secondary‑school month‑long projects illustrate the push to embed robotics in curricula. By marrying public funding with private expertise, Singapore aims to create a pipeline of talent ready for the autonomous‑machine economy, strengthening its position in the global AI race and addressing future workforce gaps.
In a MIT Mobility Forum session, Via Transportation CEO Daniel Ramot outlined how his company is reshaping public‑transit perception from a technology laggard to a high‑growth, investor‑friendly sector. He traced Via’s 14‑year journey from a Stanford‑spun‑out to a publicly listed...
