The SMART-Program team will collaborate closely with the seven projects across the M3S program. It absorbs core AI technology from the projects and then enhances AI ethics with algorithmic approaches. It will develop surveys to analyze the public acceptance regarding AI technology and designs methods to enhance public acceptance/adoption for AI. It will also help the implementation of the AI techniques across the M3S projects and works closely with the government agencies, industrial partners, and academic collaborators to demonstrate the use values of AI in Singapore.


The SMART-Program team is led by distinguished scholars, including Professor Jinhua Zhao and Professor Daniela Rus from MIT, and Professor Archan Misra from Singapore Management University.
