Singapore's Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) is shifting its focus from regulation to ecosystem development, aiming to position the country at the forefront of innovation in AI and quantum computing. This strategic move acknowledges the significant security risks associated with these emerging technologies, including the introduction of new vulnerabilities and accelerated cyber threats. By embedding trust and governance into the design of AI and quantum systems, IMDA seeks to mitigate these risks and foster a resilient ecosystem. SGInnovate plays a crucial role in supporting this effort by translating national priorities into tangible startup development, talent pipelines, and commercialization initiatives. The IMDA's approach recognizes that security and resilience are mission-critical in the face of emerging technologies that challenge existing cryptographic systems1. This proactive stance matters to practitioners, as it underscores the need for intentional design and governance in the development of AI and quantum technologies to ensure their safe and beneficial adoption.
