Your task is to design what Singapore should look like in 2035 and the role youth play in it. 

What kind of Singapore do we want to live in and how do we get there? 

Do remember to indicate your group numbers as the title of your entrees.

E.g. In 2035, Singapore will be a nation where…

• AI improves life without leaving anyone behind (Innovation and AI)

• Growth and sustainability go hand in hand (Environment and sustainability)

• Everyone has equal opportunities to thrive (Social compact)

• Culture and identity stay strong in a modern world (Arts and culture)

• Globalisation improves, forming greater connections (Regional and Global affairs)

E.g.

• Job disruptions (AI taking over)

• Ageing population (how do we not leave anyone behind?)

• Global tensions (how do we ensure the new generation stays open-minded to regional differences?) 

• Climate change increasingly worsens (Technology is prioritised over nature and environment) 

 For example (Regional and global affairs) 1. Government:

• Maintain strong diplomatic relationships with multiple global powers

• Diversify trade partnerships to reduce over-dependence on any single country

2. Organisations:

• Expand global collaboration in technology, research, and busines

• Prepare workers for global industries and remote collaboration

3. Youth:

• Stay informed about global issues (climate, wars, economy)

• Develop global skills like communication and adaptability

• Laws and policies that prevent the retrenchment of the current workforce and ensuring that international organisations do not make use of AI for their selfish needs

• Maintaining good diplomatic relations to build trust and partnership in developing AI for good causes

Organisations

• Finding ways to make current job positions expendable and flexible to be able to accommodate both AI and human figures in respective industries.

Youth

• Upskilling and reforming our educational/career pathways to suit current trends

• Raising awareness within the communities for people to adapt and be informed about future changes.

• Increase trade with our nenoighbouring countries, helping to forge trust

• Provide humanitarian aids in times of crisis

Organisations:

• Expand global collaboration in technology, research and business

Youth:

• participate in cross cultural exchanges and events

• stay informed about global issues

• be respectful to other cultures

Schools and organisations can conduct upskilling workshops so more people can have more skills to get hired more easily.

As youths, we should proactively read up about AI so we can learn to work together with AI and make ourselves useful in the process.

racism, gender inequality, differences in social economic status

• everybody will be able to use ai to make daily life better (education, more automation)

• job displacement (create new jobs)

• help elderly integrate into society better

• smart and sustainable nation (plant growing, sustainable food sources)

• increase R&D on space travel

Find ways to make jobs accommodate both ai and human figures

Teach ai in schools as well as highlight how to use it and how to use it effectively and adapt to future changes in tech

• Not having places to dispose of our increasing amounts of rubbish (E.g. Semakau Landfill is rapidly running out of space, hence no way to throw, by 2035 it will be full

• Limited resources, so we have to rely on other countries.

We hope that SG can become more developed in technology, not just in hardware but software as well. in terms of AI, we hope that it can be properly and responsibly utilised as a tool to connect us with the international community and push global connection. We want to embrace AI, to help preserve heritage and retain SG's relevancy on a international level, admidst the readily advancing avant-garde global society.

How do we, advancements in AI and technology could affect environment

How do we continue to stay globally connected while reducing reliance on foreign imports/currency/etc

• Laws and enforcement

• Promote racial harmony through campaigns

  
  

Organisation

• Cultural exchange programmes

• Provide training for everyone

Youths

• Participate in school activities

• Learn about different cultures and religion

  
  

finding a way to cope with rising cost of living in singapore as it affects vulnerable groups of people (migrant workers etc) especially since they come here to give back to their family (high loans, high prices)

arts and culture:

traditional forms of arts may be lost, deepfake, loss of cultural identity

environment:

making the right decisions (diff stakehodlers, diff opinions) on how to use AI to improve environment.

limited resources (consider diff stakeholders) dont agree w usage of AI -> lack of unity

elderly not comfortable or dont udnerstand hot to use AI -> more people to teach and support them (volunteering, family members)

2: Schools can impose a quota for the amount of students from different backgrounds to hold positions/participate in activities

3: Youths can include and talk to more people from different backgrounds eg: race/religion/culture

People take responsibility to be more aware of how to use ai and have an onus to stay relevant themselves by upskilling and keeping up with the times

youths can work part time jobs and be more independent

arts and culture -> to show importance of arts in society: laws and policies to enforce traditions, such as disallowing the use of AI to pirate content or create deepfake images

environment: democracy yay ! voting

for elderly not understanding the use of AI, allow family members, volunteers from organisations to teach them to be more proficient in the use of AI

govt: more initiatives

youth seminars -> NYC, network discuss current affairs !

schools -> more VIA !

Schools: Let students participate in environmental activities like recycling and clean-up campaigns.

Youths: Encourage friends and family to adopt simple eco-friendly habits.

Government:

-Educate citizens on AI and teach them to be AI fluent.

-Provide subsidies and affordable classes as well as help for people that lost their jobs because of AI

Organisations:

-Train employees for AI instead of fire them

-Expand jobs available

-cooperate with government

Youth:

-Pick up 21st century competencies and be adaptable to changes in the world

-be ready for AI disruptions in the world

-be equipped with AI skills

-step up to help the world improve (eg. help people who are losing jobs from AI)

- Having conversation diplomatically to resolve issues

- Collaboration, go help to fund their education, can lend manpower and resources

Organisation

- Invest in each other’s project

- Publish it in a global resource so that everybody can adapt these findings into their own systems

- Teach them how to be tech savvy and multilingual

Youth

- Read the news a lot and be able to critically analyse it

- Exchange program to get first hand experience and embrace a different questions

- Do more volunteer work

1. Government:

• Setup active ageing centres that can help elderly lead a better (healthier)lifestyle

• Improve healthcare subsidies for the elderly

2. Organisations:

• More programmes catering to exercise for Singaporeans so we can lead a better lifestyle

3. Youths:

• Volunteering work/ make programmes for elderlies to help them integrate into the present world (e.g. how to use new applications, digital literacy lessons, scam-preventing lessons wtc.)

Unemployment rate can be lower. Everyone has the opportunity to get a job regardless of their background or status.

Underprivileged have the daily necessities so they will not have to worry about it, and focus on something else.

Encourage citizens to volunteer for VIA works. Subsidies poor people and help people in need. Increase pay of social workers so more people will work more and harder for social stuff. Teach students in school to volunteer for people in need to teach them to be KinD~

Organization:

Pay their workers better, priorities worker welfare, donate to charitable organizations, organize events to the public to raise awareness for people in nEed.

You:

Donate stuff to broke people and sacrifice your time to help those people

Government

• Fund inclusive arts and cultural initiatives that celebrate Singapore's multicultural identity

• Integrate arts and cultural education into schools

Organisations

• Partner with artists and community groups to make projects that tell diverse stories

Youths

• Participate in cultural events and festivals to appreciate other cultures

We hope to preserve the heritage and customs that are a part of our cultures. We want to continue celebrating our diverse cultural backgrounds and be able to continue passing down through practicing our traditions. Even in the face of global events that might pose difficulty. Global and political issues may eradicate ancient practices in the face of modernisation. We believe in the current age, balancing modernisation and cultural practices will allow SG to develop with the times while protecting its identity.

- unwillingess to participate in societal efforts

- not being able to think long term

- companies can advertise sustainable methods on their products and use sustainable materials as much as possible

- youths can start volunteer projects to educate the public to outreach in order to spread awareness about the effects of climate change and global warming

Solution: Government can create policies and partnerships that strengthen national resilience that trains people to learn how to use AI in the jobs to increase efficiency and stay relevant.

Organizations can help individuals to adapt to change by providing opportunities for learning, innovation, and collaboration.

Youths can develop the skills needed for the future by staying informed about global issues and learning how to use AI efficiently and responsibly so that they can be a contributing member of the society.
