Temus and Resaro, both signatories of Singapore's AI Verify Foundation, have signalled their intent in supporting the responsible adoption of trusted, enterprise-grade AI. AI adoption is projected to deliver up to S$198.3 billion in economic benefits by 2030 in Singapore, but scaling from pilots to enterprise-grade systems will require stronger guardrails - ranging from MAS' FEAT principles to the adoption of AI Verify as a national framework. In this partnership, Temus will continue to deliver its strategic advisory capabilities in designing AI governance frameworks and orchestrating AI for business outcomes, while Resaro will serve as an independent, third-party AI assurance provider in evaluating AI solutions. Resaro's platform automates and scales the evaluation of AI solutions against AI quality indicators that bridge business, governance and technical considerations, embedding assurance into the development lifecycle. Sutowo Wong, Managing Director, AI & Data, Temus, said: "This isn't about auditing AI after the fact; it's about building trust into the very fabric of the AI development lifecycle. Our partnership with Resaro operationalises governance, providing a clear, automated path for our clients to move from pilot projects to production-ready systems with confidence. We are providing the essential toolkit for Singapore's next wave of AI-powered transformation." April Chin, Co-CEO, Resaro, added: "Singapore is leading the world in responsible AI development, through initiatives such as AI Verify. As a premier member of the AI Verify Foundation and an independent AI assurance provider, our role is to ensure that AI solutions meet the highest standards of performance, safety, and security. This partnership with Temus bridges technical testing and evaluation with governance requirements and business adoption of AI." Peak3 partnership to accelerate AI-driven insurance innovationimage

Temus and Peak3 announced a commitment to work together in positioning the insurance sector as a potential growth frontier for AI acceleration. Peak3's cloud-native platform currently supports over 2 billion policies and serves 50+ insurance partners globally, including leading names such as AIA, Prudential, Zurich and Income Insurance. Its core capabilities span policy administration, claims processing, and distribution enablement, providing a resilient backbone for insurers across multiple markets. With AI layered onto this foundation, the potential multiplier effect is significant. Insurance is increasingly seen as a sector where digital adoption has lagged customer expectations, creating inefficiencies in operations and gaps in product relevance. Analysts predict that the global generative AI in insurance market is projected to grow from about S$1.03 billion in 2022 to S$19.4 billion by 2032, at a compound annual growth rate of 34.4%, reflecting the scale of opportunity for digital transformation. In Singapore, the integration of Smart Nation services and public sector datasets could further accelerate this shift through embedded insurance models - making protection more seamless, personalised, and relevant to citizens and businesses. Through today's memorandum of intent, Temus and Peak3 aim to help the industry capture this potential. Samuel Chong said: "Temus' partnership with Peak3, aims to empower more Singapore-based insurers to move beyond experimentation into enterprise-grade AI. By building on Peak3's proven platform, we can apply AI to sharpen efficiency,...
