Expanding SkillsFuture Credit Eligibility for Subscription to AI Productivity Tools

48 Mr Kenneth Tiong Boon Kiat asked the Minister for Education (a) whether the Ministry will expand SkillsFuture Credit eligibility to include subscriptions for curated, high-quality AI productivity tools to facilitate hands-on learning; and (b) if not, why not.

Mr Desmond Lee: Today, individuals can use their SkillsFuture Credit to sign up for artificial intelligence (AI)-related courses. Where relevant to the training, these courses may provide access to suitable AI tools, including premium versions. This approach helps learners to acquire relevant AI skills by applying practical tools to real-world examples or problems in a structured and guided learning environment.

Given that the AI landscape is still rapidly evolving, we will continue to monitor developments and support workers and enterprises in harnessing AI more effectively.
