Artificial intelligence (AI) is having a moment. According to experts, AI could bring about a major shift in the history of life on Earth, as it pushes the boundaries of innovation— from automating repetitive tasks traditionally taken on by humans to powering important inventions in sectors such as healthcare. But with the rise of advanced systems such as ChatGPT, a natural language processing tool that can give a detailed response by following instructions in a text‑based prompt, questions are rising around the safety and regulation of AI.
This is an area entrepreneur Chia Yee Hui has a keen interest in. “I’m building an AI software, so I’m part of the problem,” she quips. Chia runs an AI web platform called Thoth, which automates the translation of complex text transcripts such as a company’s annual report into easy‑to‑read infographics.
Thoth emerged from Chia’s consultancy business Idea Ink, which specialises in live graphic recording and interactive infographics. One of the services that Chia and her team at Idea Ink provide is the real‑time visual summarisation of talks and discussions at conferences to help attendees understand complex topics more easily.
