Applied : Dissecting The Impact of AI
This event is jointly organised by the Singapore Global Network and SuperAI in partnership with Front Row Media.
Artificial intelligence is no longer a future ambition — it is being deployed today to save lives, reshape governments, and redefine how technology companies serve billions of users.
How are Singapore's most consequential institutions actually building with AI?
What does responsible, high-stakes implementation look like from the inside?
And how are capital allocators thinking about where the real value will be created?
Join us for an exclusive live panel conversation at Carta's office in the heart of Singapore's CBD, where we bring together business leaders, policymakers and scholars to understand what applied AI truly looks like.
We'll explore:
How AI is personalising cancer treatment and what it means for the future of medicine
The infrastructure and policy decisions behind AI adoption in Singapore's public sector
What genuine enterprise-wide AI experimentation looks like from a CTO's vantage point
Where venture capital sees the most compelling AI opportunities in Asia right now
The tension between moving fast and deploying AI responsibly at scale
What Singapore's innovation ecosystem can learn from these frontier applications
By the end of the conversation, you will leave with the clarity to cut through the noise around AI and the confidence to leverage it for outcomes that matter."

About The Speakers
Professor Dean Ho is the Director of The N.1 Institute for Health at the National University of Singapore and a globally recognised pioneer in AI-driven medicine.
His research sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, data science, and oncology — developing systems that can personalise cancer treatment regimens with a precision that far exceeds conventional approaches.
Professor Ho's work has been published in leading scientific journals and has drawn international attention for its potential to fundamentally change how cancer is treated. He opens the evening with a keynote on the promise — and the profound responsibility — of AI in healthcare.
Chang Sau Sheong is the Chief Technology Officer of GovTech Singapore, the agency responsible for building the digital infrastructure that powers one of the world's most advanced government technology ecosystems.
In his role, he leads the development of digital products and platforms used by millions of Singaporeans daily — from LifeSG to Singpass to the suite of tools that underpin public service delivery.
A builder and technologist at heart, Sau Sheong brings a practitioner's perspective to questions of AI adoption, platform architecture, and what it takes to deploy technology responsibly at national scale.
Dimitra Taslim is the Managing Director of Granite Asia, one of the region's leading investment firms.
With USD 10 billion in assets under management and co-managed capital, the firm has invested in 127 companies valued at over USD 1 billion and supported 65 IPOs worldwide — investing across private equity, private credit, and public capital to help ambitious companies scale, navigate inflection points, and unlock long-term value across global markets.
Dimi partners with two distinct archetypes of founder: consumer product visionaries who create exceptional digital or physical customer experiences by marrying deep user insight with global supply chains, and productivity-obsessed builders who help others achieve step-change gains in what they can accomplish with the same resources.
Dimitra is also the chairman of the logistics technology company, Rida.AI.
