Singapore AI news archive.
Every SG + AI news item we classified, grouped by ISO week. Each card carries the analyst one-liner, category tag, and sentiment dot that appeared on the live reel. Kept permanently so we can look back on how the ecosystem evolved.
About this archive: each item is ingested and classified automatically every day with a category (policy, enterprise, funding, talent, infrastructure or products), a sentiment read, and a one-line analyst note. The archive is kept permanently. The same feed powers the news sections on the altronis.sg homepage and the @AIinSG Telegram channel.
