It is also developing an AI risk management handbook under Project MindForge, due later this year.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) PathFin.ai programme has brought over 80 financial institutions (FIs) to share their experiences and strategies in using artificial intelligence (AI).
The PathFin.ai initiative features an initial set of successful use cases, curated by industry participants in key areas like sales and marketing, customer operations, risk management, and engineering and technology.
It also features learnings from pathfinder FIs that have successfully deployed AI in these areas.
“MAS will collaborate with our industry partners to progressively enhance the knowledge hub with more peer-validated use cases, resources and solutions,” said Chee Hong Tat, Minister for National Development and MAS deputy chairman.
MAS is also developing an AI risk management handbook under Project MindForge, expected to be released later this year.
The handbook will serve as a practical guide to help financial institutions apply upcoming supervisory guidelines and ensure AI is deployed responsibly.
Chee also said Singapore’s financial sector must adopt AI more efficiently and responsibly to stay competitive and continue generating quality jobs for locals.
He added that continuous improvement in the AI ecosystem and workforce readiness will be key.
“The first is to continuously upgrade our AI ecosystem to promote knowledge exchange and encourage innovation,” Chee said. “Amongst others, this encompasses updating our rules to be relevant in today’s context.”
Chee encouraged financial institutions to take an active role in the initiative, urging them to “sign up, contribute, learn and grow as a community.”
