Singapore’s ambitious drive to become a global AI hub has hit a rather soggy patch, as recent analyses reveal the nation's data foundations are weaker than a hawker centre tissue packet after a downpour. Experts in the city-state of Singapore were reportedly aghast to discover that much of the supposedly "robust" national data infrastructure was, in fact, a labyrinth of scattered Excel sheets, PowerPoint presentations from 2008, and, most alarmingly, several heavily-indexed, yet unsorted, Photo Albums from various community events. An anonymous government official, clearly shaken, commented, "We are rigorously evaluating our current data ingestion protocols. Moving forward, a more synchronised, multi-platform approach to digitising Auntie Susan's recipe blog will be paramount to our strategic AI imperatives." Meanwhile, local resident Lim Ah Beng, 54, shrugged, "AI hub? My phone also always full of spam messages, how to know which data is real or not? Everything also 'pls fwd' one, lor." Analysts now suggest Singapore might pivot to becoming a global ‘Analog Data Archive’ hub instead.
