Close relations with both the United States and China mean the latest AI models are easily accessible in the city-state.

Summary

This report highlights how Singapore is leveraging its unique geopolitical position to maintain access to advanced frontier AI models from both the United States and China, contrasting with the more restricted environment in Hong Kong. The competition for financial talent underscores the growing importance of infrastructure for cutting-edge AI capabilities as a strategic national asset.

Its relevance to AI safety lies in the geopolitical distribution of frontier technology and the potential for regulatory arbitrage between global financial hubs.
