Standard Chartered and A*STAR set up an AI for Banking Innovation Lab

The three-year partnership is expected to accelerate AI research.

Standard Chartered and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) have announced a three-year partnership to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) research.

Under this, the bank and A*STAR will commit a total of S$15m to establish an AI for Banking Innovation Lab. The lab will comprise technology scientists and researchers from the two organisations.

Teams from A*STAR IHPC and Standard Chartered will explore a range of themes including portfolio optimisation, fraud detection and natural language processing.

One project already underway is developing a natural-language interface for querying structured databases. This is expected to help relationship managers access insights without writing code, thus speeding up analysis and boosting productivity.

The lab is also explopring new data-driven approaches to strengthen asset valuation and forecasting.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
