About the Institute

The training, publishing and academic research body of Straits AI Group.

The Institute

The Straits Institute for Applied AI (www.straitsai.institute) is a joint venture between Straits AI Group and iGroup. It serves as the training, publishing and academic research body of the Straits AI Group.

Headquartered in Singapore, the Institute specialises in building AI education programmes at the speed of AI itself, operating through four pillars: the AI+ Library of professional texts and volumes; taught and self-paced courses built on that curriculum; adaptive AI training apps and software that draw on the full corpus to teach each user in custom lesson progressions; and Partner Schools delivering accredited programmes with universities, colleges, training providers and professional bodies.

The Institute rests on one belief: AI is a multiplier of human capability, not a replacement for it.Material is jointly developed by the Group's engineers and the Institute's curriculum team, reviewed by senior practitioners, and updated before it goes stale.

What the Institute stands for

Practitioners, not theorists.

Unlike most others, the Institute defines its mission as positively empowering humans of all working levels with AI skills. Its Academic Board blends deep AI expertise with extensive practical industry experience.

The Institute is practitioners, not theorists. Every Academic Board member has built, deployed or taught AI in working conditions — and brings that experience to bear on what the Institute publishes and teaches.
