CNA reported that Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo announced a GovTech collaboration with Google DeepMind at Singapore International Cyber Week on 14 October. The organisations aim to develop real-time detection of AI scams on devices. Teo said devices could recognise manipulation early while keeping personal messages on the device.
Teo said the Scam Analytics and Tactical Intervention System, run by GovTech and the Singapore Police Force, scans more than 600,000 websites a day and disrupts around 20,000 malicious websites a month. Singapore will also use outside AI models in its new cyber defence strategy, as AI Affairs previously reported.
The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore issued guidance in June under which owners of critical information infrastructure are expected to complete quantum-safe migration by 2031. Teo said Singapore will issue guidance for other organisations to work towards migration by 2035. A quantum-safe kickstarter grant will run from 1 November to 31 October 2027, with funded pilots lasting up to six months. It is open to all organisations, with priority for critical infrastructure owners. The agency said it will prioritise pilots addressing common migration challenges, including end-to-end system migration and cryptographic discovery and inventory.
