SINGAPORE’S small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can get subsidised rates for Microsoft’s artificial intelligence (AI) tool Copilot, under a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed on Tuesday (May 21) between the tech giant, Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) and research institute AI Singapore. EnterpriseSG will defray 50 per cent of Copilot licensing costs for a 12-month usage period, with each SME eligible to purchase up to 50 user licences at the subsidised rate. Such support will be available to more than 1,000 SMEs. With tools such as Copilot, AI becomes accessible not just to tech giants, but also all roles and employees within SMEs and multinationals alike, said Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong, who witnessed the MOU signing. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/singapore/smes/spotlight-1/smes-get-subsidised-rates-microsoft-ai-tool-under-mou-enterprisesg-imda (ICE SINGAPORE)
