Singtel to partner with DISG to speed up AI transformation

Alliance will support AI talent development, governance frameworks, and enterprise AI deployment.

Singtel will team up with Digital Industry Singapore (DISG) to support the first phase of a multi-year AI transformation programme.

The collaboration will help Singtel strengthen its AI capabilities across talent development and hiring, governance and technology frameworks, and enterprise advisory and implementation expertise.

The initiative forms part of a strategic partnership between Singtel Group and Digital Industry Singapore to accelerate AI transformation across Singtel’s businesses.

Singtel Singapore is integrating AI across customer engagement, network operations, and enterprise services to improve responsiveness, efficiency, and resilience.

In customer care, AI will support agents and customers through real-time assistance, intelligent routing, and conversational AI.

Singtel said the first phase will focus on developing an AI-native telco roadmap, deploying agentic AI and AI/ML capabilities, building AI-native talent, establishing a trusted AI operating model, and creating reusable AI solutions and deployment playbooks.

Singtel has already trained around 13,000 employees in Singapore. It plans to train all Singapore-based employees in AI, with 3,000 to be developed as AI practitioners and 300 as AI specialists.

The initiative is also expected to create new high-value AI-related roles and support large-scale upskilling and reskilling across the organisation.

No financial terms were disclosed in the announcement.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
