Hippocratic AI and AI Singapore (AISG) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop AI solutions tailored to Southeast Asian languages and cultural contexts.
This partnership leverages Hippocratic AI’s expertise in generative AI for healthcare, focusing on creating safe, effective, and empathetic voice-based agents capable of interpreting medical terminology and engaging naturally with users.
Hippocratic AI will contribute real-world feedback and training data to refine models, while AISG, known for its SEA-LION family of LLMs, will provide engineering expertise and a deep understanding of the region’s linguistic and cultural intricacies.
Key initiatives include developing high-accuracy Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) for Singlish and Indonesian, as well as text-based models that cater to Singapore’s unique linguistic landscape, enhancing accessibility and relevance in areas like healthcare.
Munjal Shah, CEO and Co-Founder of Hippocratic AI, emphasized the importance of collaboration to make LLMs culturally sensitive and empathetic, enabling them to respond effectively to the unique needs of Southeast Asian communities.
By combining Hippocratic AI’s healthcare-specific expertise with AISG’s capabilities in regional AI innovation, the partnership aims to advance AI technologies that are both technologically sophisticated and culturally aligned.
This initiative signifies a significant step toward creating impactful, localized AI solutions that can improve healthcare delivery and communication across diverse Southeast Asian populations.
