Singapore's chief artificial intelligence officer (CAIO) visited domestic artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor startup DeepX to discuss On-device AI technology and the potential for future cooperation.
On the 7th, according to DeepX, He Ruimin, Singapore's government CAIO, visited DeepX's headquarters in Pangyo, Seongnam, Gyeonggi, the previous day and exchange views with CEO Kim Nok-won on AI technology trends and the national AI strategy.
The two sides held discussions under the theme of the "physical AI" era, in which AI is spreading from cloud-centric systems to real industrial sites. DeepX introduced its On-device AI technology using an ultra-low-power Neural Processing Unit (NPU) and global customer applications, and explained use cases across various fields including robots and industrial equipment, Smart City, security cameras, and mobility.
CAIO He Ruimin outlined the direction of Singapore's national AI strategy and shared views on the potential to use On-device AI Semiconductor in public infrastructure and industrial sites.
Dr. He Ruimin works under the Singapore Prime Minister's Office, overseeing the establishment and implementation of the national AI strategy. He is also serving as a Commissioner on the United Nations (UN) High-level Advisory Body on AI (HLAB), participating in discussions on global AI policy and governance.
The visit was reportedly arranged at Singapore's request. As Singapore advances its national AI strategy, the company said the purpose was to directly confirm On-device AI Semiconductor technology and commercialization cases applied in real industrial settings.
