Mental health chatbots are a useful tool, but Singapore needs clear standards to ensure safe and effective use, with a hybrid approach that includes humans who can step in when needed. Assistant Professor Nur Hani Zainal, Presidential Young Professor in Clinical Psychology at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at NUS and Director of the Optimising Wellness Lab, weighs in on how such first responder bots can miss distress signals, and hence need to operate within clear lines and hand over to humans when a person's needs exceed the bot's limited scope.
Cashless payments in Singapore are plentiful, but sometimes painfully confusing. Assistant Professor Daniel Rabetti from NUS Business School shares his insights on how embracing the digital dollar could help create a unified digital payment layer, streamlining payments within the nation and across borders, while globally helping shape the "financial architecture" of the digital era: the shared rules, standards and digital plumbing that determine how money moves safely and efficiently.
