Response to parliamentary question on the Government’s financial support for creative work using generative AI
2063. Mr Fadli Fawzi: To ask the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth (a) whether any funding was provided by the National Arts Council or any other Government agency for the two Singapore-made films created using AI that premiered on National Day; and (b) what is the Government's position on providing financial support for creative work that uses generative AI.
Response:
No funding from the Government was provided for Trace Project and Bersama Majulah, two Singapore-made AI-generated films that premiered on National Day 2026.
The use of generative AI does not, in itself, determine whether a project may receive Government funding. Funding agencies assess projects against the objectives and assessment criteria of their respective funding schemes.
