SingComp-AI (“SCAI”) is a Singapore-based startup which develops compliance technology driven by artificial intelligence (“AI”) for financial institutions in Singapore. Compliance technology helps financial institutions in their adherence to applicable laws and regulations, as well as identifying and managing compliance-related risks.
In the first year of its operations, SCAI assembled a competent team of professionals to help build its AI infrastructure and to support its growth.
