Committee of Supply 2026

• The launch of the new National AI Impact Programme (NAIIP) will strengthen Singapore’s AI capabilities across enterprises and workers. Building on Singapore's National AI Strategy 2.0, NAIIP reinforces the nation's commitment to harnessing AI for the public good.
• NAIIP aims to drive broader and deeper AI adoption by supporting 10,000 enterprises to integrate AI into their business processes over the next 3 years, and training 100,000 workers with domain expertise to become AI Bilingual, by deepening their AI fluency and equipping them to apply AI in their workflows and processes.

For Enterprises:

• Increase proportion of AI-enabled IMDA pre-approved solutions from 30% to 50% with grant support for SMEs.
• Build business leaders' confidence in implementing artificial intelligence and enterprises' self-sustaining digital capabilities through the Digital Leaders Accelerator Bootcamp (DLAB).

For Non-Tech Workers:

• Enhance TechSkills Accelerator (TeSA) initiative to develop workers in horizontal occupations (starting with Accountancy and Legal), enabling them to leverage AI to transform domain-specific workflows and boost productivity.

For Tech Workers:

• Deepen capabilities of tech workforce to empower them to pivot to higher-value tasks and become full-stack developers with the ability to orchestrate complex systems and workflows using AI agents.

• Singapore has hosted 3 major AI conferences in the past few years, and contributed the Singapore Consensus on the Global AI Safety Research Priorities.
• There will be an emphasis on human accountability in agentic AI deployment, through guidance in the Model Governance Framework for Agentic AI launched in January 2026.

• Protecting victims of online harm through the Online Safety (Relief and Accountability) Act (OSRA) (869.02KB). OSRA provides victims with an avenue for timely and effective relief, establishing a framework where perpetrators are held accountable for their actions. OSRA establishes the office of the Commissioner of Online Safety. The Commissioner will be supported by the Online Safety Commission (OSC), which will be set up by June 2026.

• The Online Safety Commission (OSC) will start with assistance to victims of five types of online harms: (i) online harassment; (ii) intimate image abuse; (iii) image-based child abuse; (iv) doxxing; and (v) online stalking.
• New statutory torts enable victims to sue in court for compensation or injunctive relief against perpetrators, to hold them accountable for their actions.
• Improved user information disclosure enables the agency to be able to obtain end-use information to identify anonymous perpetrators.

• Protecting our children and youth by progressively introducing measures on regulated platforms.

• Designated App Stores: By 31 Mar, designated app stores will have to implement age assurance measures, to prevent users who are under 18 from accessing and downloading age-inappropriate apps.
• Designated Social Media Services: Given that social media services are increasingly popular amongst young users, there are plans to extend age assurance measures to designated social media services.
• Study safeguards for AI chatbots and online video games.

• Supporting parents in their digital parenting journey with new resources on the Digital for Life (DfL) portal for parents to guide their child’s online interactions and support their digital well-being. Resources have been made more useful and accessible for parents by tailoring content based on children’s age and key digital milestones (e.g. first screen use, first device).

• The Code for Fun (CFF) programme will be updated to integrate AI skills as core baseline capabilities for Primary and Secondary School students. The updated programme will be made available to all schools in 2027.
