00:00So what you described, the 5,000 and the 15,000, are what we call AI practitioners.

00:05We are hoping also to grow another pool to complement the data scientists and machine learning engineers.

00:12We're talking about people who are in the professions, lawyers, accountants, doctors,

00:19who will become the early adopters of AI and then they show their peers how to make better use of it.

00:26We're also talking about people in different sectors, whether it's manufacturing, whether it is in healthcare or in financial services.

00:37They themselves also acquire this facility with using AI and then they demonstrate how it can create more value for their organisations.

00:46This group of AI practitioners will have to exceed the 15,000 that I talked about to a much greater extent.

00:54So in the Singapore context, our workforce is maybe 3.5 million.

00:58I think at the level of AI users that are competent, you will need to get to a much larger number than we were talking about last year.

01:09So you watch this space, we will have more to say about this.

01:11So you watch this space.

01:12That's not the same space as itでもない.

01:13So you can get to then stop this space with all your problems.

01:14The local journalists can take the topic and take a look.

01:15So we need to take a look at numbers where our options can take up and see where it can take one opportunity.

01:17So whoever visual artist tells us is the opportunity, we have to look at the pier at a distance.

01:19Like Bible mailbox, let's see when we are looking back for this space.

01:20So if you don't get to help us with the quality, we win over this space here.

01:21And our youth can keep making sure we are looking at idioma.

01:23While we're looking at it, we give a different ways in real life.

01:25Then we'll get to know where we're looking at the atmosphere.

01:27We're looking at this space like someone who would not have to be able to get the요.

01:27Oh yes.
