The collaboration, formalized at the Public Sector Day Singapore organized by AWS and GovInsider, through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), is the second of its kind between Thoughtworks and AI Singapore. Specifically, the agreement involves accelerating the development and deployment of AI applications by providing:

  • Joint research and training initiatives: Engaging in collaborative research projects to explore cutting-edge AI and analytics technologies, while simultaneously developing and delivering training programs to foster competence in the field.
  • Collaborative knowledge and infrastructure exchange: Promoting knowledge sharing with access to Thoughtworks' expertise in lean product development, agile practices and cloud technologies. This is coupled with software tools and an exchange of resources to drive research and development, while simultaneously establishing a collaborative infrastructure to support joint research and facilitate technology transfer.

“Thoughtworks is thrilled to partner with AI Singapore, the national AI program, with an impressive body of work towards developing innovative and differentiated AI solutions that will grow businesses across various sectors and society-at-large,” said Shayan Mohanty, head of AI research at Thoughtworks. “This collaboration will enable us to leverage each other’s strengths, tap into Singapore’s deep national capabilities in AI and Thoughtworks’ 30+ years at the forefront of innovation, integrating the best of software and data engineering to drive AI for the greater public good for Singapore and the region.”

This MOU will involve collaboration with the Thoughtworks AI research team to advance research and expertise in independently evaluating the accuracy, efficacy, costs and risks of large language models (LLMs).
