SINGAPORE: Singapore is pioneering the development of an artificial intelligence (AI) model trained to understand and generate human language that incorporates the diverse cultures and languages of South-East Asia.

This large language model (LLM) could eventually be used as the basis of various text-to-speech or text-to-image generative programmes.
