Rio Tinto, AI Singapore ink two-year deal to develop supply chain AI solutions

Enterprise Singapore facilitated the collaboration.

Rio Tinto signed a two-year memorandum of understanding with AI Singapore (AISG) to develop artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for its supply chains, automate operational tasks, and train AI practitioners through industry projects.

Facilitated by Enterprise Singapore, the collaboration will focus on processing over 10,000 freight invoices annually, validating data from multiple sources, and replacing manual work to improve accuracy and efficiency.

AISG is a national programme launched by the National Research Foundation, Singapore.

Laurence Liew, Director of AI Singapore, said the initiative exposes practitioners to industry problems and promotes AI adoption.

Will Millsteed, Chief Financial Officer of Rio Tinto, highlighted the application of AI to supply chain operations.

Lee Pak Sing, Assistant Managing Director of Enterprise Singapore, said the project strengthens Singapore as a hub for commodity companies using AI.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
