今天,我们通过在新加坡开设新办公室——我们在该地区的第五个办公室——并与新加坡数码发展及新闻部签署谅解备忘录(MOU),来扩展我们的亚太业务。新加坡是我们在全球最活跃的市场之一,Claude 已经在为新加坡企业和政府服务提供支持,每天有数百万人使用,例如 GovTech Singapore、Grab 和 DBS。我们不断壮大的本地团队将确保这些组织以及更多组织在安全、有能力的人工智能方面保持在前沿。
“我们长期致力于新加坡,”Anthropic 东盟区总经理 Dale Finlay 表示。“我们这里的客户对人工智能抱有极高的标准,尤其是在可靠性和安全性方面。拥有一支本地团队意味着我们可以更贴近那些用 Claude 解决最棘手问题的组织。”
支持新加坡负责任的人工智能
新加坡数码发展及新闻部常任秘书 Kai Fong Chng 与 Anthropic 联合创始人 Ben Mann 在新加坡国际网络周期间签署了该 MOU。数码发展及新闻部长 Josephine Teo 与 Anthropic 亚太政策负责人 Michael Sellitto 见证了签署。MOU 列出了在人工智能安全、安保和模型评估;人工智能采用及其影响研究;以及公共和私营部门负责任采用方面的合作领域。
“新加坡一直是负责任人工智能领域的领导者,在模型测试和评估方面有着长期投资记录,”Mann 表示。“我们创立 Anthropic 时坚信能力与安全必须齐头并进。通过这份 MOU,我们将与新加坡合作,帮助确保向强大人工智能的过渡在新加坡、整个亚太地区乃至全世界顺利进行。”
“新加坡对人工智能的态度一直是既促进创新,又跟上其不断演变的风险。信任对于企业、劳动者和公众有信心使用人工智能至关重要,”Chng 表示。“与 Anthropic 的这项合作体现了政府扩大负责任采用人工智能、深化我们企业和政府机构能力,并为新加坡带来影响的承诺。”
我们与新加坡的合作可追溯到 2023 年,当时我们加入了由资讯通信媒体发展局和 AI Verify 基金会运营的生成式人工智能评估沙盒。后来我们与他们合作开展了一个英语、华语、马来语和泰米尔语的红队测试项目。
根据该 MOU,我们计划与新加坡的人工智能安全、安保和保障机构就模型评估、测试标准和事件响应进行技术交流。我们在世界各地的安全机构也开展类似工作,共享技术信息让政府对前沿人工智能能力和风险有更清晰的了解,同时帮助开发者构建更安全的模型。

Anthropic opens Singapore office and signs MOU with the Government of Singapore
Today, we are expanding our Asia-Pacific operations by opening a new office in Singapore—our fifth in the region—and signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Singapore Ministry of Digital Development and Information. Singapore is one of our most active markets anywhere in the world, and Claude is already powering Singaporean business and government services used by millions of people every day, like GovTech Singapore, Grab, and DBS. Our growing local team will ensure these organizations and many more stay on the frontier with safe, capable AI.
“We’re committed to Singapore for the long term,” said Dale Finlay, General Manager of ASEAN at Anthropic. “Our customers here hold AI to an extremely high standard, especially when it comes to reliability and security. Having a team on the ground means we can get even closer to the organizations putting Claude to work on their hardest problems.”
Supporting responsible AI in Singapore
Kai Fong Chng, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Digital Development and Information, and Anthropic co-founder Ben Mann signed the MOU on the sidelines of Singapore International Cyber Week. Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo and Michael Sellitto, Anthropic Head of APAC Policy, witnessed the signing. It sets out areas of cooperation in AI safety, security, and model evaluation; research on AI adoption and its impact; and responsible adoption across the public and private sectors.
“Singapore has been a leader in responsible AI, with a long track record of investment in model testing and evaluation,” said Mann. “We founded Anthropic on the belief that capability and safety have to go hand in hand. With this MOU, we’ll partner with Singapore to help ensure the transition to powerful AI goes well here, across Asia-Pacific, and around the world.”
“Singapore’s approach to AI has always been to enable innovation while keeping pace with its evolving risks. Trust is critical for businesses, workers, and the public to use AI with confidence,” said Chng. “This partnership with Anthropic reflects the Government’s commitment to scaling up the responsible adoption of AI, deepening capabilities in our companies and government agencies, and delivering impact for Singapore.”
Our work with Singapore goes back to 2023, when we joined the Generative AI Evaluation Sandbox run by the Infocomm Media Development Authority and the AI Verify Foundation. We later partnered with them on a red-teaming project in English, Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil.
Under the MOU, we plan to hold technical exchanges with Singapore’s AI safety, security, and assurance institutions on model evaluation, testing standards, and incident response. We do similar work with safety institutes around the world, where sharing technical information provides governments with a clearer view of frontier AI capabilities and risks, while helping developers build safer models.
We’ll also look for ways to strengthen AI skills in Singapore, help small and medium-sized businesses adopt AI responsibly, and support the government’s goal of building AI capability among public officers. We plan to share research and data with the government, including from the Anthropic Economic Index, and to offer technical and policy expertise as Singapore develops its rules for AI.
How Singapore is working with Claude
In our latest Economic Index, Singapore ranks second of 121 countries in Claude.ai usage relative to its population, at nearly six times what its size alone would predict.
In the public sector, more than 1,500 engineers and technical staff at the Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech Singapore) have adopted Claude Code to modernize government systems and speed up software delivery. This has helped GovTech Singapore teams build, maintain, and enhance digital services more efficiently at national scale. The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore is exploring how Claude could help strengthen the country’s cyber defense.
In financial services, DBS, Southeast Asia’s largest bank, works with Claude across a range of use cases in its Singapore operations—including software development and day-to-day productivity—as part of its broader AI innovation efforts. These applications operate within the bank’s strict security and governance framework. GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, is rolling out Claude across its investment and corporate services teams. Organizations in regulated sectors like financial services can now run Claude with in-region inference on Amazon Bedrock, helping them meet strict data processing requirements.
Singapore’s largest technology companies and startups are building with Claude too. Grab powers BriX, its sales assistant, with Claude. The assistant saves Grab’s sales teams approximately 40,000 hours every quarter and surfaces new sales opportunities. Sea—the business behind Shopee, Garena, and Monee—works with Claude to help Shopee’s customer service chatbot respond faster and more accurately, and thousands of its employees write and debug code with Claude. And Supabase—the developer platform with strong roots in Singapore—is building with Claude Code.
Building with the developer community
This week, senior leaders from Anthropic are in Singapore to open the office and meet with customers, developers, and policymakers.
Today, we hosted Builder Summit Singapore, bringing more than 300 developers together with engineering and product leaders from Anthropic. Earlier in the week, Singapore’s Claude community ambassadors held a meetup for more than 700 local builders.
Our Singapore office is now open and hiring. To learn more about joining the team, visit our careers page.
